Facial gymnastics, also known as "facial yoga", is a natural practice that complements dermo-cosmetic treatments to combat the damage our skin suffers on a daily basis and prevent the signs of aging. It consists of lifting the face with massages that stimulate it and restore its radiance and youthfulness. So before you start moping about, and rather than running off to your plastic surgeon, take the time to learn and practice face gym, so you can keep on glowing!
The benefits of facial gymnastics
The benefits of this discipline are numerous. For a start, this activity is a real moment of relaxation for you! When you wake up in the morning, or in the evening after a long day, taking a few minutes to do these exercises will erase all the tension accumulated on your face.
Not only will you benefit from this moment of well-being, but your skin will be all the better for it. Over the years, muscle fibers become looser and collagen loss affects skin firmness. By regularly massaging and stimulating each part of the face, subcutaneous muscles are stimulated and blood microcirculation is activated within the dermis, providing better oxygenation of skin tissue. The result is firm, plump skin, smoothed wrinkles and a more radiant complexion. A facial tone that everyone will envy!
How do I practice facial gymnastics?
It can be practised by both men and women, and it may be worth starting at the age of 30, when collagen production has ceased. It is also suitable for all skin types.
There's no need to devote several hours of your day to this activity: just a few minutes are enough! In the morning, in the evening during your Appointment routine or during the day... The important thing is to practice facial yoga every day on a regular basis. To begin with, place yourself in front of a mirror to observe and master your movements. This will also help you avoid contracting certain parts of your face unnecessarily.
What about results?
The first results can be seen as early as the first week. By activating circulation, dark circles will already be less noticeable. To see real results firmness, wrinkles and luminosity of your complexion, wait a few weeks. Note that each person responds differently to these stimulations. While some will see immediate changes, others will feel them only a few weeks later.
