Face Yoga - 10 Minute Daily Routine | Good Housekeeping UK

Face yoga works wonders for anti-ageing, toning the face and relaxation. This expert takes us through her top facial exercises...

Do you practice yoga? You may attend a weekly class and enjoy stretching out your muscles and toning your figure. But have you ever heard of face yoga?

Well, the same principles apply (although there’s not a downward dog in sight) and it’s a great anti-ageing exercise. Add a few of these facial exercises into your daily routine and see the difference. We also like it because it’s relaxing, can be done in your own home and doesn’t cost a thing!

We met with the face yoga expert, Danielle Collins, who, as well as being able to tell us the health and beauty benefits of exercising the face, has put together a 10-minute face yoga routine that can easily slot into your morning or evening relaxation time.

These facial exercises can tighten the face and the skin attached to it, which smooths the skin. Massaging the skin using face yoga also increases circulation and its collagen elastin, which makes it look fresh and energised. Acupressure on and around the face releases tension and helps you feel relaxed.

Love, Love Face Yoga, I do it daily, I have the CD and wall chart. It helps release the tension I hold in my face and seriously considering becoming an instructor. Thank you for your calm, relaxing voice Danielle.

I've been going through a bad time in my life and I wanted to do something uplifting for myself. I found your face yoga videos and they have made me feel better, look better and happier. I've been doing them every morning for the last two months and enjoying it.

I’ve been using this video along with a couple of others for about a month now. I’m 42, never had any treatment done and was feeling low about my face. I now have have a lot of my facial tone back thanks to these exercises! Full lips again, my cheeks are plumper, tighter healthier skin and a glow about me.
Thank you for helping me feel a little more confident about myself. I didn’t believe it could work but it really has.

Omg it actually works! I started these 2 days ago and fit some of the movements to my facial products application. Today my husband who didn't know what I'd been doing told me I look so fresh and young! Thank you so much Danielle! This is life changing

Danielle Collins is such a clear and precise teacher, thank you, I've found this routine and others you've posted really easy to follow and informative

[jodyb]

Great video. Really brought to my attention how little I massage my face. I spend so much time stretching and exercising the rest of my body and my poor face gets so neglected. Well no more!

[maryruiz]

Hi, I watched your video several times. Thank you so much for doing such a great short video right to the point. Your exercises are amazing.

[rozhiller]

[peace.love.enlightenment]

Thank you so much for this! I took a bit of a break from doing my face yoga with you Danielle, and after this session my face feels it!

[fftwufb]

Love your videos Danielle, I was wondering whether you have any philtrum exercises in your book, since there is a lot of stretching of the upper lip that occurs later in life and in face yoga exercises. Thanks!! ✨🌸
