Introduction to Face Yoga [0:00]
The video introduces face yoga as a method to improve skin health from the inside out, contrasting it with skincare products that only affect the skin's surface. It highlights the importance of combining yoga with proper nutrition to maintain healthy skin. Face yoga works on five key aspects: increasing blood circulation, treating hormonal imbalances, toning facial muscles, promoting lymphatic drainage, and activating oil glands for a natural glow.
Benefits of Face Yoga [0:49]
Face yoga offers five primary benefits. First, it boosts blood circulation, nourishing skin cells. Second, it addresses hormonal imbalances, reducing issues like acne and pigmentation. Third, it tones facial muscles, diminishing wrinkles and fine lines. Fourth, it facilitates lymphatic drainage, detoxifying the skin. Fifth, it activates the sebaceous glands, promoting natural oil production and a healthy glow.
Facial Exercises: Air Transfer and Cheek Workouts [1:59]
The first exercise involves spreading and tightening the hair for 10 seconds to create tension on the inner skin while keeping the lips upwards. This is repeated three times. The next exercise involves transferring air from one cheek to the other ten times, repeated twice. This is followed by filling the cheeks with air, alternating between the upper and lower lip, and holding each position for 10 seconds, repeated twice.
Facial Exercises: Mouth and Cheek Contortions [5:28]
The fourth exercise involves inhaling and exhaling through the mouth while making a sound with the lips, pulling the cheeks inward during inhalation and slowly releasing the breath. The next exercise includes taking all the air into the cheeks, tightening the pulses inward, and holding the position for 10 seconds, repeated twice.
Facial Exercises: Neck and Jaw Toning [7:59]
To reduce fat and tone the neck, the exercise involves tilting the face upwards and to the side while making an "O" shape with the mouth. While inhaling, the neck is extended towards the ceiling, and the "O" shape is maintained for 10 seconds. This is followed by rotating the neck to each side, lifting the face slightly, and holding the "O" shape to stretch the neck muscles.
Understanding Lymphatic Drainage [10:15]
Lymphatic drainage is explained as a process that detoxifies the body and blood through a network of nodes. Reduced massage and exercise can decrease lymphatic drainage, harming the skin. Massages and facials improve skin by activating this drainage system. Specific points on the face can be pressed to activate lymphatic drainage and enhance skin glow.
Massage Points for Lymphatic Drainage: Neck and Ears [11:31]
The first massage point is located just above the collarbone. Using the initial fingers, gently press this point for 20 seconds with eyes closed. The next point is on the back of the neck, where fingers are placed in the middle of the neck and pressed while moving from back to front. The third point is behind the ears, where two fingers are used to press and hold for 20 seconds with eyes closed.
Massage Points for Lymphatic Drainage: Jaw, Eyes, and Lips [14:15]
The fourth massage point is below the jawline. Using a "V" shape with the finger, draw the line upwards towards the ears, repeating 5 to 10 times. The fifth point is directly below the eyes, where gentle pressure is applied with the finger for 10 to 20 seconds with eyes closed. The final point is slightly ahead of the corners of the lips, where the finger is used to press gently. The video concludes by recommending doing the exercises first, followed by pressing the massage points.
