Face Yoga Exercises

1. Eye Opener

2. Forehead Lift

For this facial yoga, use your fingers and interlace them over your forehead. Apply tight pressure while attempting to lift your forehead. Repeat this around 20 to 30 times.

3. Cheek Lift

For this face yoga, open your mouth wide, keep your teeth covering your lips and lift your cheeks. Hold for 10 seconds and then return to the normal position. Try this exercise about 30-40 times.

4. Massage + Face Savasana

Clean your hands and face with a gentle cleanser and massage your face with coconut oil. Gently press your fingertips into your facial muscles to relieve any stress or tension. Make sure to focus on your third eye area, massaging for about 30 minutes and circling around the eyes. Finish the exercise with a war towel laid over your face as you lay down and relax.
