It&#8217;s a great way to lift your skin. The result is a more sculpted jawline and a depuffed face that can help with improved firmness, lack of sallowness, and plumpness over time,&#8221; explains Zainab Gibrine, Managing Director at Facette Facial Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other results many people start to see is a brighter complexion due to more blood circulating to the face, and as you begin to strengthen the other major muscles of the face, such as the obicularis oculi (the big muscle around the eye) and the zygomaticus major (the muscle you use to smile) the skin starts to firm up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study featured by Northwestern University featured 27 females between 40 and 65 who did 30 minutes of face yoga every day for two months. Dermatologists found the participants looked three years younger, as well as an increase in cheek fullness. Many women also commented on fewer fine lines, wrinkles and crow&#8217;s feet, and less puffiness under the eyes over several weeks. &#8220;The gentle massage technique targets the lymph nodes and works on your muscles to drains away toxins, encouraging your lymphatic system to deliver fresh nutrients to your cells,&#8221; adds Gibrine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-69577\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PIC_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PIC_2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PIC_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PIC_2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/timeskuwait.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/PIC_2-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like all circulation in the body, the lymphatic vessels drain towards gravity, which leads to swelling in the face. Massage upward will help to improve the skin&#8217;s radiance over time and, with consistency, create a more toned look to the face. Face Yoga practitioners also report it may help make your face more symmetrical, reduce dark circles&#8217; appearance, generate positive emotions, and make your face less rounded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts say that Face Yoga is not ideal for women in their twenties and thirties as the exercises are designed to increase the size of the facial muscles, which creates a more bulky effect in a younger face that doesn&#8217;t require the added volume. However, for the rest of us looking to age gracefully and exude a sense of Zen \u2013 Face Yoga may just be the natural and affordable option that can help us look and feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-34653 cc_cursor\" src=\"http:\/\/192.163.207.100\/~timesku1\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Hermoine_PIC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"123\" \/><strong>By Hermoine Macura-Noble<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>The first Australian English speaking\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/40005688\"><strong>News Anchor<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in the Middle East.
