Face Yoga, yes…it’s a thing and I may try it!

A study at Northwestern University found certain “face yoga” exercises can build up your face muscles.  And after about five months, the average woman who did them regularly looked almost 3 years younger.  Here are two exercises to try.  But they’re just the simplified versions.  The full versions are a little too complicated to learn without actually watching someone do them…but no worries, I have a video!

Make this part of your mornings or evenings and maybe, JUST MAYBE we too can look 3 years younger!  LOL

1.  The Cheek Lifter.  Make an “O” shape with your mouth, so your top lip is folded over your front teeth.  Then smile with the corners of your mouth over and over again.

 

2.  The Eyebrow Lifter.  Put three fingertips from each hand directly under your eyebrows, and push up to force your eyes open.  Then smile while pushing your eyebrows down against your fingers . . . hold for 20 seconds . . . and do it three times.
