Time passes for everyone, but many of us would like to minimize the marks it leaves on our face. Facial yoga offers a healthy alternative to Botox, facelifts and other invasive cosmetic treatments. By exercising them, the muscles of the scalp, neck and face will become stronger and more flexible and, as a result, the skin on the face will appear fuller and more relaxed. In addition to this, by practicing facial yoga regularly and in the correct way, the forehead wrinkles are reduced because the circulation improves, the muscles relax and the stress decreases. This article will guide you in performing several useful exercises.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Lion's Face Exercise
Step 1. Sit with your back straight and take a deep breath
In addition to being an effective workout for the facial muscles, the lion face exercise helps to relax the rest of the body as well. Before starting, make sure your back is straight and take a long, deep breath.
Step 2. Contract all muscles
As you inhale, try to tighten every muscle in your body.
Step 3. Do the lion face exercise
As you exhale, slowly relax your muscles, stick out your tongue, open your eyes wide and straighten your fingers.
When you stick your tongue out, try to point it downward as you open your mouth wide or smile broadly
Step 4. Maintain the position
Stand with your tongue out and mouth and eyes wide open for 5-10 seconds.

Method 2 of 4: Exercise the "V"
Step 1. Make a "V" with the fingers of both hands
Like when you make the peace sign by extending your index and middle fingers upwards.
Step 2. Use the two "V's" to frame the eyes
Place your fingers so that the eye is in the middle of the "V", with the middle finger just below the bridge of the nose near the inner corner of the eye. The index finger, on the other hand, must touch the outer corner of the upper eyelid.
- It will appear that you are keeping your eyes open with your two fingers.
- Looking in the mirror, you should see that your fingers form a "V" under both eyes.
Step 3. Look towards the ceiling and squint
Look up while closing your eyes tightly.
Step 4. Push the skin up with your fingers
Use the two fingers that form the "V" to push the skin of the face upwards while squinting. This will activate the muscles of the eyebrow and forehead, which will have to counteract the resistance opposed by the fingers.
Step 5. Remove your fingers from your face and squint your eyes again
This time hold the position for 10 seconds, finally relax your face.
Step 6. Let your muscles rest and repeat
At the end of the exercise, relax your face muscles for a few seconds, then start over from the beginning. This exercise should be repeated 6 times, not forgetting to squint and then relax her eyes in between.
