1HA Breath Oxygenation (signature House of BeautyWhen exhausted, we tend to sit down and relax, as we sigh with the 'Ha' (relaxing breath). The same 'Ha' breathe is vital to face yoga as it signals the brain to relax the mind and face muscles. It’s really all about setting aside some time to pay close attention to your breathing. Directions: Step 1: Relax your neck and shoulders. Step 2: While keeping your mouth closed, inhale slowly through your nose for 2 counts and lift your head and straighten your back. Step 3: Exhale slowly by blowing air through your pursed lips for a count of 4. Relax your body loose and say “Haaaaa” while exhaling. Such focused deep breathing de-stresses your forehead muscles and relaxes the face through increased oxygenation.
2Face Muscle Relaxer (signature House of BeautyDesigned to combat the process of accelerated ageing, this exercise helps smoothen fine lines, lifts the skin around your eyes, tones your cheeks and tightens your neck. Step 1: Place both your palms on your temples. Step 2: Push your palms up and back to lift the sides of your face. Step 3: Hold for 5 seconds and repeat two more times. This advanced yoga exercise effectively engages your entire face. It serves the benefits of toning, defining, and activating both the cheek as well as the other lower regions of the face. As you stretch, you should feel a slight burn on the corners of your mouth and cheek — the kind of burn you experience during an intense workout.
3Lioness Face Exercise (StartingThe Lioness Face exercise works to improve facial sagging and wrinkles around the nose, eyes and mouth. It also immediately provides oxygenation to your face for an instant glow. Step 1: Take a deep breathe by joining your fist together to create more pressure. Step 2: Now release your breathe with the pressure. Step 3: While releasing, open your mouth and eyes wide and stretch your tongue out. Relax. This exercise primarily helps in smoothing the texture of your skin.
