The human face has normally got 43 muscles. Fewer than 43 are found on
some people due to the complex muscular structure and the dense grouping of
muscles. Separating the skin and the muscle, in the middle, is an area of fatty
tissue pads called the subcutaneous layer. These fat pads interlock and fit
together giving the face much of its shape. As the face ages, the skin loses
elasticity and the fat pads between the muscle and the skin become thinner.
Then as the skin becomes saggy, the thinning fat pads atrophy and slide
creating hollowness and loss of volume and plump in the face giving the face a
fall down and weary look.

Along with the growing list of courses and methods to improve facial
attributes, reverse and prevent visual effects of aging including the use of
various and costly beauty products and cosmetic surgeries, the beauty trend
face yoga has also become more and more popular and favored. Presently,
more celebrities and public figures are patronizing and promoting this non-
invasive, nontoxic, inexpensive, natural and self-administered facial exercises
therapy.

Face yoga involves facial exercises of the entire face, scalp and neck. Achieving an increased facial muscle tone acts
as a natural face lift, a non-surgical improvement of the facial features. The muscles of these three areas work
together like a machine. The following are the merits and benefits of performing facial exercises routinely:

1. It enhances blood circulation in the face - more oxygen and nutrients are delivered resulting in improved skin tone
and color and less fine lines.

2. It increases the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for skin strength, rigidity and elasticity.
Thus preventing development of wrinkles and sagging in areas around the eyes, jaw line and neck.

3. It brightens up your face by eliminating old damaged cells because the epidermis is better able to absorb moisture.

4. It stimulates the lymphatic system which helps flush toxins, dirt and bacteria from the skin and boosts your
metabolism.

5. It releases tension and alleviates the tightness around the neck muscles.

6. It helps relieve Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) which is a disorder that  causes  pain and compromised
movement of the joint and muscles surrounding the jaw. It stretches, strengthens and relaxes overworked muscles
and joints resulting in decreased pain.

7. It won’t cost you a penny but just a couple of minutes to do the exercise unlike the expensive beauty products in the
market and risky cosmetic surgeries.

8. It boosts self-esteem and confidence by making you look better and feel better.

Numerous styles of facial exercises have been developed and widely used throughout the years which can be done
anywhere both sitting or standing. The following are the most common and most popular poses of facial exercises:

1. The Giraffe Face Pose

- Look up and stretch your neck. Then while your head is tilted back, try to push your tongue against the top of your
mouth. You can also use your index fingers to pull the skin on the neck downwards. Therewith hold the stretch for 25
seconds. Return to the first position and repeat the movement.

each expression for 5 seconds.

 - This prevents development of laugh lines and sagging skin around the mouth.

4. The Frown Face Pose

 - Place your right forefinger and middle finger on the outer and inner corners of your right eyebrow and your left
forefinger and middle finger on the outer and inner corners of your left eyebrow. Then look up and squint your eyes
while applying pressure with the fingers on your brows. Hold this expression for 2 seconds and then relax. Repeat this
6-8 times and finish by closing your eyes for 10 seconds.
