Try Face Yoga for a Natural Youthful Glow

What is face yoga? To put it simply, it's exercise for your face. With facial yoga, you don't need to be in a gym or on a mat - you can do it anywhere! It only takes about 5 minutes each day. Watch this video where Ranjana Khan demonstrates how to practice facial yoga.

This is truly a holistic approach to facial care. While maintaining a balanced skin care routine is essential to healthy skin, practicing regular facial yoga adds amazing anti-aging results that can't be beat. Facial yoga is practiced among people looking to achieve a youthful glow without intrusive procedures or painful injections.

Is facial yoga suitable for everyone?
The answer is: YES! Everyone can benefit from facial exercises, especially those suffering high stress loads and emotional despair - which manifest on our face as 'natural signs of aging' (fine lines and wrinkles). This does not have to be our natural way of life! We can reverse, better yet prevent the natural signs of aging by practicing facial yoga regularly. You will expect results imparting a youthful glow and enhanced lift, among many other psychological benefits.

Here are some exercises for you to try!
