The positive effects of exercise on physical and mental health are countless. Movement is crucial for smooth skin as much as for body health. With regular activity, it's possible to have a more vibrant face at any age. Many muscles in your face, when left inactive, can sag and wrinkles can form over the years. So, is it possible to prevent this unwanted situation? **Dr. Lida** has compiled the answers for you.
Facial Yoga Can Be a Solution
**Facial yoga** both prevents these aforementioned undesirable conditions and improves skin aesthetics. By dedicating a certain amount of time each day to this, you can make your skin look younger.
For Cheeks: To firm up cheeks and give them a more effective appearance, the muscles here should be consistently worked. For example, the 'balloon blowing exercise,' which speeds up blood circulation, strengthens the cheek muscles. Additionally, certain exercises performed on the lips and skin are also effective methods for shaping and toning the cheeks.
Around the Eyes: Eye yoga can be beneficial for alleviating eye fatigue. For this, both hands are positioned as if holding binoculars to the eyes. Then, a movement similar to looking through binoculars is performed from the forehead area to encircle the under-eye, and the skin is gently pressed and stretched. During this, excessive pressure is not applied to the forehead. This process should be planned to last for fifteen seconds and repeated three times.
Neck Muscles: For this, the body is stretched upwards without causing injury. This method lengthens the muscles around the neck and helps to firm up the area under the chin (double chin). In this position, one can wait for ten deep breaths. While looking upwards, care should be taken not to raise the eyebrows. If necessary, closing the eyes can prevent wrinkles from forming on the forehead.
Jaw Muscles: Exercising the jaw muscles tightens facial features and provides a youthful appearance. These muscles can be worked by moving the jaw up and down. If needed, a pen or a spoon can be used. How? Placing a pen in the mouth and moving the jaw forward a few times enhances the function of these muscles.
Forehead Lines: Facial yoga is a smart method to prevent the formation of forehead lines. For this, the thumb is held slightly above the ear level. With the other fingers, the forehead is massaged with light touches from the outside inwards. This movement is repeated several times. This helps to reduce wrinkles in the forehead area.
Lip Muscles: Using a spoon, the lips are curled inwards. The spoon is lifted with the help of the chin. During this action, the cheeks are pulled sideways and upwards as if smiling. After a few seconds of holding, the cheeks are relaxed. This activity is concluded by repeating it several times.
