Face yoga: Дали го вежбате лицето?

It sounds too good to be true, but new techniques promoted by skincare brands, the internet, and even facial "gyms" claim that repeating certain movements, whether by simply making a "grin" or using hands and massagers, can over time increase circulation, lift and tighten skin, and like any other fitness regimen, exercising facial muscles can result in improved tone and slimness.

Furthermore, since no one likes the fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles that constantly appear on our faces and we don't know how to alleviate or prevent them, the solution to that could just be "face yoga"!

But does "face yoga" really work? It works if you are committed to performing various exercises for up to 10 minutes every day and if, above all, you are familiar with the correct way to perform these exercises; any improper stretching of the skin can end up with the exact opposite - an increased number of wrinkles.

Theoretically, we know that aging is a result of muscle loss, and facial yoga continuously stimulates the facial muscles and strengthens them, so that ultimately the entire face or targeted areas look firmer and younger.

Every movement made with the face, whether we express an emotion or simply communicate more quickly, makes a certain facial expression, the repetition of which can leave a significant mark on the face.

Many women first notice wrinkles on their foreheads from frowning or surprise, and nasolabial folds, the so-called laugh lines. But while certain activities don't involve every muscle in the face, the area around the eyes involves the most of them. It's no wonder that wrinkles around the eyes can quickly make the entire face look older, so it's worth paying attention to them if you don't want to stimulate your entire face.

However, before you know how to exercise your face, you need to know the causes of your puffy eyes and wrinkles. The causes are very different and can be lack of sleep, sleeping on your stomach or side, high collagen and elastin breakdown, dry eye area, UV radiation, excessive salt intake, rubbing your eyes, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, allergies and the like.

Using these steps, you can exercise your face yourself and reduce the visibility of wrinkles and puffy eyes;

  1. Look straight ahead
  2. Open your mouth wide in the shape of the letter O.
  3. Look at the ceiling without moving your forehead
  4. Hold the pose for 5 seconds.
  5. Repeat a total of 3 times

If you combine the so-called face yoga with quality care products, the results will not fail. We suggest something from the creative workshop of L'ADRIA, because these are products based on nature, with minimalist formulas devoid of classic irritants. You can see them here .
