Face Yoga: Natural Facelift Exercises
You Can Do at Home

Face yoga is an excellent natural anti-aging technique that tones muscles, reduces wrinkles, and helps to promote collagen production. Whether done independently or as part of an anti-aging skincare routine, adopting a face yoga practice should improve firmness and prevent signs of aging.

In this article, we’ll cover what face yoga is, its benefits, and five natural facelift exercises you can do at home. Let’s get started.

What is face yoga?

Face yoga is a face toning practice that involves moving and stretching your facial muscles to fight sagginess and promote relaxation.

It’s based on the traditional practice of yoga but focuses on the facial muscles. Face yoga is growing in popularity as a natural anti-aging method – an alternative to more invasive procedures.

A study found that regular face yoga exercises improved facial fullness and reduced signs of aging. The benefits of face yoga include:

• Toning and sculpting the facial muscles
• Improving elasticity
• Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
• Increasing circulation
• Promoting relaxation

5 anti-aging face exercises you can do at home

Your face yoga routine should include a collection of exercises that target specific areas of the face, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, eye area, and lips. It’s recommended that you pair your face yoga routine with a moisturizer, such as Blue Peptide Uplift Cream SPF 30. Here are five exercises to get you started:

1. Forehead smoother

The forehead smoother exercise reduces fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead area. It also reduces tension.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Place both hands horizontally across your forehead, spreading out your fingers.
2. Pull your hands outward toward your temples with slight pressure.
3. Repeat 7-10 times for the best results.

2. Cheek lifter

This exercise targets the cheek contour area, improving lift and firmness for a youthful appearance.

Here’s how to do it:

3. With gentle pressure, lift your fingers out and upward toward your ears and hold for 5 seconds.

The jawline definer exercise tones your jawline and reduces a double chin appearance.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Tilt your head back slightly.
2. Make a kissing pose with your lips to stretch your neck and jawline.
3. Hold this pose for 5 seconds.
4. Repeat this exercise 7-10 times.

4. Eye de-puffer

The eye de-puffer facial yoga exercise targets crow’s feet, under-eye puffiness, and sagging.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Place your index fingers above your eyebrows and your thumbs under your eyes, forming a “C” shape.
2. Press down with gentle pressure while widening your eyes.
3. Hold this position for 5 seconds.
4. Repeat the exercise 7-10 times for the best results.

The lip smoothing exercise targets smile lines and wrinkles around your lip area. Here’s how to do it:

2. Hold this position for 5 seconds.

Overall, this facial yoga routine with the five exercises should take a maximum of 5-10 minutes to complete. Keep up this routine on a daily basis to see optimal results.

How to incorporate face yoga into your anti-aging skincare routine

You’ll see faster and better results if you couple your face yoga routine with an anti-aging skincare routine that features effective products. Here’s how to build a morning and evening skincare routine that targets the signs of aging, and features anti-aging face exercises:

Morning routine:

1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser that rids your skin of impurities.
2. Apply a facial serum or treatment to target the signs of aging (and lubricate your face for the yoga exercise).
3. Perform your facial yoga exercise routine.
4. Finish your routine with a moisturizer for a dose of hydration.

Night routine:

1. Remove makeup with a micellar water. Then, cleanse your skin with the same gentle cleanser you use in the morning.
2. Apply an anti-aging skincare treatment, such as the Life Plankton Regenerating Serum.
3. Perform your facial yoga exercise routine again.
4. Again, finish off with a rich moisturizer to hydrate overnight.

Follow this routine and try these natural facelift exercises and you’ll have youthful-looking, firmer skin in no time.
