JAKARTA - In maintaining physical health to stay fit, many people are willing to go to the gym, take yoga classes, or do any physical activity. However, often they often ignore the fact that faces also need regular exercise to be faster.

There are at least 42 facial muscles that help produce smiles and several other facial expressions. So, keeping these muscles tight is very important if you want to look youthful and delay aging.

Launching the Times of India, Tuesday, February 21, face yoga is currently loved by beauty observers as an easy way to keep facial muscles. In fact, many claim that if done correctly and consistently, face yoga is as effective as Botox.

Face yoga practices have been around for years. Although the progress is not instantaneous, but the results are very effective and long-lasting. The best part of facial yoga is that you can practice anytime and anywhere.

The first exercise can be done by saying vocal letters A, E, I, O, and U. Hard vocalize your face and neck muscles while doing it. Get rid of the five vocals 10 times a day to get started. Then gradually increase the number to 20 to 30 times per day.

The second exercise you can do is position your mouth closed under your chin. Try to cover your mouth with your fist while trying to open it. It's a fantastic exercise to get rid of the doublechin. When you start doing so, the jawline will start to feel depressed. Have an ideal jawline? Who doesn't want it?

Third, you can try to place the three fingers (the index, center, and sweet radius) under the eyebrows. Push the eyebrows up with your fingers until your eyes open with a smile. Then close your eyes and turn your eyes. Hold for 20 seconds and keep smiling. Turn it and repeat it three times.

If you are worried about the laughter line that will appear even more as you get older. So the perfect solution to reduce the laughter line is to smile as wide as possible, without having to show teeth. Get the two fingers on the tip of the lips and pull the facial muscles up to the cheekbones and the angle of the eyes. Hold for 20 seconds and feel the engaged muscles. Repeat the movement three times.

Before doing yoga, it is important to apply moisturizer or facial oil especially around the cheeks and neck. The reason is that if you don't get moisturized, your skin will be pulled down and loose.

Another exercise you can try is to put your thumb under your chin and massage your cheeks with upward movements (ended on your temples) using your fingers. Repeat this movement five times. This movement can help smooth the smile line and increase blood circulation.
