Can Face Yoga Make You Look Younger?
A guide to the facial exercise regimen that claims to combat the effects of aging
I’m sitting in front of my computer, squinting, hands on my cheeks, mouth agape. Slowly, I close my eyes, but the pressure from my fingers on my cheekbones makes the movement difficult. My eyes are dry as I open them again, still pulling slightly at the apples of my cheeks.
Nine more taxing blinks and I’ve completed one facial exercise: The Eye Bag Remover.
The Eye Bag Remover is one of the 18 core moves that make up Happy Face Yoga, a fitness regimen focused entirely on strengthening, lifting, and toning a very small piece of bodily real estate: your face. Other moves include the Face Lifter (make an exaggerated orgasm face while your arms reach toward the sky) and the Lion (with your eyes rolled back, open your mouth and stick your tongue out while sliding your index and middle fingers down your forehead as you raise your eyebrows).
