    What is Facial Yoga? Caring for Menopausal Skin…

    With a whole host of celebrities promoting the benefits of facial yoga and many new brands coming through offering their own regimes and routines, this week we explore the hot topic of facial yoga. The benefits of yoga for the body have long been known and practised to keep the body supple. Yoga for the face is no different in that it involves movements and stretches to help tone, strengthen but also relax muscles. Given that there are 42 individual muscles in the human face, there is certainly plenty to work on! Facial yoga involves massage and exercises that stimulate the muscles, skin, and lymphatic system. These movements are designed to soften and relax face muscles to help alleviate tension, stress, and worry – all of which contribute to fine lines and wrinkles appearing in the skin.
