Yoga for Toning Face Flab

June 27, 2008

One generally associates yoga with its physical and spiritual healing powers but yoga also adds to the beauty quotient of a person. Regular yoga with its breathing exercises and yogic asanas can help your skin to glow, shine and remain young forever. Yoga helps to tone face muscles just as the body’s muscles are toned and thus prevents aging effects like flab and wrinkles.

. The drooping or the sagging of the skin can be caused by various factors like aging, sun exposure and smoking. Many people, women in particular, spend lakh of rupees in getting a facelift surgery done. However, there is a simpler and a natural way of toning face flab and that is through the use of yoga. Yoga is more effective and safe as it does not involve complications which are associated with cosmetic surgeries. Moreover, it can easily be performed at home and one of the most common and effective yogic exercise for treating face flab is that of ‘Lion Face’. In this, as one inhales through one’s nose, one should clench one’s fist and scrunch all one’s facial muscles. Then exhalation should take place through one’s mouth face by forcefully sticking out one’s tongue, rolling up one’s eyes and opening one’s hands. This should be repeated several times a week as it is an effective yogic exercise for toning one’s facial muscles.

When one uses a particular expression for a long time like a frown, it is bound to loosen the muscles of that area causing the formation of wrinkles. Yoga aims at toning face muscles through the use of facial exercises.

Moreover, the regular use of respiratory exercises like Anuloma Viloma leads to a glowing and a shining appearance on one’s skin. Thus, one should adopt yoga as a part of one’s lifestyle to lead a healthy and a glowing life.
