5-minute face-slimming yoga promotes blood circulation

　　In addition to the effects of weight loss, body shaping and fitness, yoga movements also have the effect of slimming the face and beautifying the face! Doing 5 minutes of facial yoga movements every day can restore your cheeks to a girlish luster. Come and learn some beauty yoga movements!

　　1. Facial movements

　　1. Puff the cheeks - improve facial sagging

　　female After the age of 25, skin Blood circulation slows down, and the fat in the subcutaneous tissue begins to become loose and lacks elasticity. Even if the weight does not increase, the facial lines gradually become looser, especially when viewed from the side. The skin on the cheekbones is no longer plump and tight, and the highest point of the face slowly moves downstream, and nasolabial folds (also called nasolabial folds) begin to appear, making people look lethargic and old. 　First, let’s introduce the action of puffing out the cheeks. First close your mouth, puff up your cheeks to the maximum extent, hold for a few seconds, and then tighten your cheek muscles into the mouth, making a kissing gesture, and hold for a few seconds. This is actually an exercise for facial muscle elasticity. Doing this exercise regularly can improve skin sagging. Moreover, this action has no restrictions on venue or time. Girls who love beauty can practice it at any time while waiting for the bus or in the office.

　　2. Lion Pose - Relieve facial tension

　　In daily life, some girls often subconsciously frown or clench their teeth due to nervousness. Frequently clenching your teeth will stiffen your facial muscles, while frowning your eyebrows can easily leave unsightly glabella lines - also called "Sichuan lines". For frown lines, you can now use injections to remove wrinkles. In fact, you can also practice some simple facial yoga movements to relax your frown. There is a lion pose in yoga postures, which focuses on facial movements. Take a deep breath first (preferably abdominal breathing), then open your eyes wide Eye , Open your mouth wide, exhale forcefully, and at the same time stick out your tongue as much as possible and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat this action. This action can not only stretch facial muscles and relieve facial tension, but also fully exhale the turbid air in the lungs, so that more oxygen can enter. When all organs are adequately supplied with oxygen, metabolism will be accelerated and the skin will appear more lustrous. Since this action is quite exaggerated, it is recommended to practice it when alone.

　　2. Whole body movements

　　If you want to beautify your face, don't just stick to the above facial yoga movements. Other whole-body movements, such as inversions and side bends, can improve blood circulation in the head and face and accelerate the discharge of toxins. They can help improve skin problems such as spots, acne, and dullness, making the skin more rosy and shiny.

　　1. Triangular Stretch - Accelerate detoxification and improve acne

Stretch your left arm up as far as possible, in line with your right arm, and extend your torso. Until the back of your legs, back and buttocks are in a straight line. Stay in this pose for five to ten breaths. Inhale and return to a standing position. Exhale and relax for three to five breaths. Repeat on the other side.

　　Since the gallbladder meridian is on the outside of the body, regular practice of the Triangle Stretch Pose can regulate the gallbladder meridian, accelerate the discharge of toxins from the body, and reduce the occurrence of skin problems such as spots and acne.

　　When doing this action, blood flows to the head, which can improve the blood circulation of the face and make the facial skin more rosy and shiny.

　　3. Fish pose - improve neck lines and facial fine lines

　　The neck is the most neglected part and the part that reveals your age most easily. No matter how slim a woman is or how exquisite her makeup is, just a few neck lines can ruin the whole maintenance project. Don't think that neck aging is something that happens after the age of 40. Under the flawless faces of many women in their early 20s, they often have necks with fine lines and premature aging, which makes them "older" by several years. The "fish pose" in yoga can fully stretch the muscles of the neck and face, and has the effect of improving facial fine lines and neck lines.

　　The practice method is : Lie flat on your back, with your legs straight and flat on the ground, your hands flat under your hips, and your elbows as close as possible. After inhaling, raise your head and chest, gently touch the top of your head to the ground, support it with your elbows, and maintain this action for 5 breaths. Exhale and restore your body. Fish Pose is practiced while lying on your back, but white-collar workers in the office can change this action to a sitting position and perform it at any time in front of their computer desk. This pose also helps the back area to stretch and the chest to expand, allowing for more complete breathing. In addition, since the neck is stretched, it is also beneficial to the balance of the thyroid gland.

　　Special reminder : It is best to practice whole body movements two or three hours after meals. Patients with heart abnormalities, high blood pressure and lumbar disc herniation who are in the inflammatory stage should practice under the guidance of professional teachers.
