Facial yoga is a practice that combines exercises and massage techniques to tone and firm the muscles of the face and neck, reducing the signs of ageing and improving the overall appearance and facial contour. The principles of traditional yoga inspire it, aiming to bring relaxation and well-being through gentle movements and self-massage. 
 
Compared to a simple facial treatment that generally addresses the skin, facial yoga focuses on the facial muscles, also known as mimetic muscles. The mimetic muscles of the face are a series of muscles that control facial expressions, the formation of wrinkles, and the shape of the face. 
 
Unlike most body muscles, the mimetic muscles of the face are directly attached to the skin, which gives them a direct influence on expression, volume, and the quality of the skin tissue.
 
A precise knowledge of the muscular structures of the face and upper body is an essential foundation for the manual practice of facial yoga.

Facial yoga is based on specific exercises that engage different muscle groups of the face. It has two main functions:

- The first is the ability to isolate and exercise muscles that have weakened from lack of use. As you develop the strength of your facial muscles, you begin to notice a general lift and smoothness of the face, as it restores volume and plumps the skin.

- The second function of face yoga is to relax the most stressed, tense facial muscles by performing certain stretching poses while you inhale and exhale deeply.

This benefits the face because it teaches the most frequently used muscles to relax, which naturally releases wrinkles and facial tension.

These practices are similar to what we do for our bodies to keep ourselves strong and flexible, so why wouldn't we do the same for our faces?

Facial yoga is an accessible and natural practice that helps care for, tone, and relax your face, promoting a more youthful appearance. Regular practice helps to:
 
- Strengthen muscles: just like body yoga, facial yoga aims to tone the muscles, which helps maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity. 

- Improve blood circulation: movements and massages stimulate microcirculation, which oxygenates skin cells and promotes its natural radiance. 

- Release tension: muscle tensions are often the cause of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Facial yoga helps release those tensions, providing a relaxing and soothing effect.

Facial gymnastics is also known as face yoga. Its goal is to remodel and tone the face through specific exercises.

While facial yoga can improve the appearance of the skin and reduce some signs of ageing, it cannot replace a surgical facelift. A surgical facelift alters the deep structure of the face, whereas facial yoga cannot. However, for those seeking a more natural and less invasive approach, facial yoga can be an excellent option for enhancing the appearance of their face and slowing the effects of ageing.
