Like any other type of physical activity, yoga also requires hard work and resistance. If you practice it every day - at least - you can see the results. It works as well as regular jogging or training in the gym. The more you train, the better results. As simple as that.
Especially when it comes to facial yoga, consistency is the key to achieve the best results. If you are committed to spending more exercises with your face, the results achieved will be visible quickly and you can see the changes take place.
But how much time should one spend it?
According to some experienced yoga coaches, the first results of a consistent daily practice - 15 to 20 minutes - can be seen after six weeks.
The time it takes to see permanent results of facial yoga is different from person to person, but the first results can expect after six to ten weeks with daily 15- to 20-minute meetings. The age does not play a big role, which is really important, is to set up a schedule and to keep it.
In addition to the exercises, a certain diet and way of life is required. For example, fluid supply, more sleep and a healthy diet are some of the recommended additional measures to ensure long-term results.

When should not you practice facial yoga?
Although facial yoga is considered a very simple and non-invasive way of yoga, the experts warn that there can be some special conditions that can be considered. If you are suffering from certain medical conditions, it is recommended to talk to a medical expert before starting practice.

The same applies if you have eczema or psoriasis. Another disease that can affect their facial yoga exercises is an injury, e.g. B. a broken jaw or an open wound.
