Facial exercises are becoming more prevalent for men and women in their quest to look younger, but there are many myths about facial exercise regimens. We separate fact from fiction.

For those who are not sure what yoga facial exercises are, they are generally techniques used on various parts of the face and neck to tighten sagging skin on the face, eradicate double chins and double chins, revitalize the skin color, tighten turkey neck and smooth face. and wrinkles in the eyes. Some facial exercise programs involve isometric principles and some employ massage techniques that involve the use of the fingertips.

Here are some interesting things to take note about facial exercises:

Myth: The facial structure of the face can be altered with plastic surgery, but not with a system of facial exercises.

Fact: To some degree, you can change the structure of your face using facelift exercises, just not as fast or as drastic as cosmetic surgery. If you focus on certain regions, such as cheek exercises, the cheeks will plump up. If you do it on the eye bags, they will diminish and the shape of your face will change towards a more youthful shape. However, facial yoga is not effective in correcting birth defects or damage caused by an accident.

Myth: Surgically cutting loose skin to firm up a turkey neck, lift sagging facial skin and sagging jowls, and resolve a double chin problem is better than thoroughly massaging these areas.

Fact: Surgical lifting of loose skin is temporary. After a while, it will bulge again and you will have to repeat the surgery at a higher cost to you. Face and neck exercises will keep the skin firm and toned continuously, but not invasive.

Myth: Do-it-yourself non-surgical facelifts are not as effective as plastic surgery procedures.

Fact: Cosmetic surgery is radical and interferes with the body’s natural energy lines and nodal points. Facial exercises are gentle, non-invasive, and increase energy and blood flow, rather than restrict it.

Myth: You have to perform a system of facial exercises every day, and it is difficult to remember all the techniques and points, as well as taking a long time.

Fact: It is advisable to do facelift exercises daily for about twenty minutes. In general, there are about twenty points to massage on the face and neck, so one minute on each point will be enough; they are generally placed in the same positions on the face and neck that acupuncturists use to treat certain ailments.

Myth: Facelift exercises are painful or will damage the sinuses.

Fact: Facial exercises should be applied with fingertips firmly to very specific pressure points. Firm, but not too firm to cause pain or discomfort. At first, you may experience some nasal congestion for the first few days as you massage your sinus area, but that is perfectly natural and will dissipate quickly.

Myth: Yoga or facial exercises do not produce better results than creams, lotions, Botox, thermage, laser treatments as an anti-aging skin care routine to smooth out eye wrinkles (crow’s feet), laughter and the lines of the forehead.

Fact: Lotions and creams are great for long-term anti-aging skin care, and I advise people to use them when doing yoga facial exercises to work on the cream simultaneously. Botox and other artificial methods are quick fixes and can even be harmful to you. But face yoga can easily turn back the clock holistically, not just slow the effects of aging.

Before spending substantial amounts of money and risking your appearance with a surgeon, try a facial exercise program. They are very cost effective and a powerful tool to get your youthful appearance back in a couple of weeks!
