CIRCULATION FOR HEALTHY SKIN METABOLISM

Good circulation is crucial for cell renewal. Face yoga gives your facial muscles a workout, enhancing circulation and blood flow to your face.

The thermographic images above capture a student doing a face yoga pose called the Big O. Just doing three sets for ten seconds each set yielded an amazing increase in the temperature of her face.

The Big O pose tones the muscles (in blue) that support a tone and youthful face.

FACE YOGA BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

Connective tissues found in the dermis layer of our skin consist of cells and fibres including the proteins collagen and elastin. These proteins decrease as we age. Collagen maintains skin firmness while elastin fibres give your skin the ability to stretch and bounce.

Face yoga boosts collagen production by activating the cells that produce collagen and elastin by increasing oxygen and blood flow which becomes nutrients for the cells. At the same time, the muscles supporting the skin layer get toned up, further lifting the skin and sculpting the face line.
