Why do facial yoga?

What is facial yoga?

Facial yoga is a discipline designed to relax the muscles of the face, plumping the skin and limiting and slowing lthe appearance of signs of aging. Facial yoga also helps to reshape the face and cheeks. 

What are the benefits of facial yoga?

To feel the benefits of facial yoga, you need to adopt a daily practice, otherwise it will be complicated to notice a difference on the facial tissues. The occasional practice of facial yoga will help you relax. Which is good enough!

Facial yoga can also be used to reshape the face (e.g. the hollows of the cheekbones) and strengthen facial muscles. This will facilitate cell renewal and enable the face to retain its elasticity for as long as possible. 

What is the advantage of practicing facial yoga?

It's a natural anti-wrinkle: regular massaging will relax the skin and make it firmer. 

In addition to plumping the skin, preventing the signs of aging and reshaping the face and cheeks, facial yoga also helps release tension in the eyebrows, jaw, neck and forehead.

Facial yoga will also play a role in lymphatic drainage of the face. The lymphatic system plays a vital role in eliminating excess fluid from the tissues. It transports lwater, proteins, fats and toxins to the lymph nodes. For puffy faces and water retention, facial yoga can be a natural draining solution.
