Why is Face Yoga effective?
Face yoga or facial exercises, just like their counterpart for the body work on muscle toning and strengthening. They also work on the Epidermis and Dermis layer of your skin and increase blood circulation, which is why they are also great for giving your skin that much-desired glow.
With age, stress, and even because of facial expressions facial skin tends to lose its strength and tends to give in to gravity. Face yoga exercises help by counteracting this effect.
So let’s get into our 7-minute daily routine that consists of targeted facial exercises for skin tightening, double chin, neck, and jawline A.K.A ‘The Complete package’
