Face Yoga is the Natural Alternative to Fillers
We all know the benefits of regular exercise for our bodies – but when it comes to our face, people rarely think twice about all the muscles in our face working all day long when smiling, squinting and expressing our feelings. When wanting to combat signs of ageing, many of us turn to creams or even needles, but that comes at a cost. That is until traditional face care routines took over our beauty regime and one that certainly is effective is face yoga.
Simply put, face yoga is a series of exercises you do with your facial muscles that will tone and relax the muscles in your face, resulting in a youthful and healthy complexion. Face yoga provides non-surgical benefits by teaching you get rid of your unconscious frowning habits, builds up volume and boosts blood circulation, which is the key to a healthy glow. Face yoga also looks very funny when you’re doing it, and I personally think it’s a great way of starting your day – because what would be a better way of starting the day right than by taking a little me time and having a laugh.
I talked face yoga instructor Pia Airaskorpi, to get to know more about her (highly talked) about 11-minute face yoga programme. Certified from the legendary Danielle Collins face yoga programme, Airaskorpi has modified traditional face yoga exercises into a more intense practice, with Korpia Face Yoga you’re not only strengthening the facial muscles in a effective way, but also engaging your hands in the practise. The support of your hands stop the skin from wrinkling while doing the exercises, and allows your skin to ‘learn’ to keep relaxed, while stimulating neurons and helping with coordination.
Face yoga is an effective way to keep your complexion looking youthful and graceful, without having to turn to the painful and expensive surgical alternatives.
“At the end of the day, you should be able to look into the mirror and be like ‘damn, I’m fine’ even when you’re in your 90’s. And that truly is the essence of face yoga, that you approve of yourself, and feel like you belong in and love the way you look.”
What are the benefits of face yoga?
It’s a natural, safe way of caring for your looks and maintaining a youthful appearance. A concrete way of embracing your beauty.
Taking time for yourself – Many people think it is more difficult than it is. With the face yoga you only need a few minutes to make your skin and you feel good, and you can do it anywhere without any equipment.

What are your best beauty tips?
Less is more. When it comes to makeup, fake eyelashes, nails, fake tan, if it makes you happy go for it, but what is important is that you feel confident without them as well. Face yoga is a terrific way for you to get to know your own unique features and approve of your beauty. The consistency of your wellbeing and beauty routines is key. No single product will make your beauty, it’s the consistent everyday routines that add up and are so important. Find a beauty routine that fits your skin and your budget. Take time for yourself and take care of yourself.
