We pick three exercises from face yoga expert Danielle Collins’ 20-minute programme of facial exercises that work like a ‘natural face lift’. *Disclamer: You can try these at home.
The ‘V’: Reduces puffiness, wrinkles around the eyes
Put both middle fingers together between your eyebrows, then apply pressure to the outer corners of eyes with your index fingers. Look up and start to move the lower eyelids upwards. Relax and repeat six more times. To finish, squeeze eyes shut for 10 seconds, then relax.
Smile Smoother: Reduces lines around mouth, firms cheeks and jaw
Hide your teeth with your lips and make an ‘O’ with your mouth. Then smile as widely as you can and keep hiding your teeth. Repeat six times. Next, hold the smile shape and place one index finger on your chin. Then start to move your jaw up and down as you tilt your head back. Relax and repeat twice.
Giraffe: Tones and lifts the neck
Looking straight ahead, place fingertips on the top of your neck and pull the skin down as you tilt your head back. Bring head back down and repeat twice. Then jut lower lip out as far as possible, place fingers on collarbone and point chin upwards, pulling the corners of your mouth down. Hold for four deep breaths. Faceyogaexpert.com
