What does facial yoga offer and why is it considered an elixir of youth?

Facial yoga is a holistic method that involves a comprehensive combination of yoga exercises, massage, pressure, and relaxation for the face and neck.

The yoga method is a very effective preventive measure. The earlier we start exercising, the less likely we are to see signs of aging and tension on our face and neck.

"And this happens because through exercise we begin to become aware of and control our facial expressions," explains expert Areti Kafantari.

Just like in our body, in our face, when we move in the right way we can avoid injury, and in the case of the face, injury means wrinkles.

Therefore, if you see the first signs of aging, have lines or even wrinkles, then facial yoga techniques and exercises will give you a natural solution, within 6 to 8 weeks, according to Kafantari.

How does facial yoga work?

Exercise: As the 57 muscles of the face and neck are strengthened, the skin over them becomes firmer, more elastic, and wrinkles are reduced. And the good news is that, because the muscles are much smaller and thinner compared to the body, they are easier to exercise.

Massage: Massage techniques increase blood circulation, activate lymph, increase collagen and elastin production, and remove toxins. This reduces swelling and dullness, leaving a youthful, healthy appearance.

Acupressure: An ancient method that is done by applying pressure to specific points on the face and neck, increasing the flow of energy in the face, reducing tension and giving radiance.

Relaxation: By learning how to relax facial tension, we avoid pronounced expression lines and wrinkles.

Well-being: The sense of well-being we feel when we dedicate time to ourselves is also reflected in our face.
