ABOUT THE WEBINAR:
ABOUT FACE YOGA:
t’s no secret that exercise is essential to a fit and healthy body. The same applies to your face.
Your face and neck consist of more than 50 intimately connected facial muscles that should be trained as well. Your facial muscles represent more than 60% of your facial form and they affect your skin and bone structure.
The next time you look at yourself in the mirror and see sagging skin and wrinkles, it helps to remember it's not your skin that needs to be treated but your muscles! Gravitation and the aging process affect your muscles causing them to sag and lose volume. When muscle sags, skin follows. When the muscles lose volume, your skin has no place to lay over and so it wrinkles.
To keep your face healthy and youthful you have to train your facial muscles. And you need to do it the right way.
ABOUT FACE GUA SHA:
​
Face Gua Sha helps to decongest the skin and improves blood flow and circulation. The firm but gentle scraping movements encourage lymph drainage to the face and neck which detoxify, helping to clear sinus congestion, prevent acne, dark skin pigmentation and puffiness or dark circles under the eyes. Learning these easy techniques will dramatically change how your skin looks and feels, collectively reducing fine lines and wrinkles, toning facial muscles, decongesting and detoxing the skin, reducing eye puffiness and dark circles, and promoting a natural, healthy complexion and glow.
