Is Botox Not For You? Enter the Yoga Face clan

There are those, like Cindy Crawford, Isabeli Fontana and Robin Wright, who swear that “nothing is like Botox”. On the other hand, there are women who love to take care of the appearance of their face, but only and only in a natural way: from Gisele Bundchen to Miranda Kerr, there are many celebs attracted by needle-free beauty rituals. Gettonatissimo, among these, is it facial yoga, a manual technique that promises to give toned muscles and smoothed wrinkles, hence the term Yoga Face. A teacher of this method that is very popular online is the giapponese Koko Hayashi, a real star of social media (you can find her on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube), committed to teaching the facial gymnastics technique with videos and tutorials which, also according to several studies, would help to maintain a perfect oval regardless of age. Making the use of botulinum toxin completely superfluous.

YOGA FACE TREND FOR NON-INVASIVE BEAUTY FANS
On closer inspection, the Yoga Face trend (booming on Pinterest in time of lockdown) is wider and includes any face gym exercise, including self-massage with a lifting effect. As the beautician Silvia Russo of Natural BioLifting Milan, author of the book “Self-Lifting”: «That facial gymnastics is a cure-all for facial beauty is nothing new, but the effectiveness of a method that is not invasive at all remains. The important it is learning the right movements, aimed at stimulating the muscles of the face which, as a rule, remain passive or who are little involved in facial expressions. The form of self-massage to slow down the signs of aging? Helping you with a small amount of moisturizing product (a cream mask well), perform for about 5 minutes a succession of fluid movements with the palms of both hands, proceeding from the bottom up, in an intense way to increase the superficial blood circulation of the skin. Following, create small circles, touching the skin with your fingertips and moving from the center of the face to its sides, moving your fingers as if looking for something under the skin. Once in the eye area, always with your fingertips create wider circles around the eye socket, perfect for draining. For last, go and pat your fingers on the cheeks, first filling them with air as if you were about to blow up a balloon. 3/5 minutes of massage a day are enough to gain a naturally fresher and healthier face. To see the results, here is the advice of face yoga guru Koko Hayashi: «Incorporate face yoga exercises into your daily routine and remember that consistency is the key to success. Unlike aesthetic medicine treatments, face yoga is NOT a solution with immediate results. Requires training on a regular basis. But the more you practice it, the less it will burden you. And the more wow results will come ».
