Despite the name, face yoga isnโt yoga in the traditional senseโthereโs no focus on breathing and no need for a mat or props. Instead, it involves a series of resistance-oriented facial exercises designed to reduce signs of aging. Associating the exercises with yoga seems to have been a wise move, however: just as the popularity of the ancient practice has exploded in modern times, so too has face yoga.
The promised benefits of face yoga extend to all areas of the face: itโs said to raise droopy eyes and mouth corners, firm and lift cheeks, reduce double chins and jowls, smooth crowโs-feet and forehead furrows, and leave skin glowing.
