Don’t Suffer From Downward Facing Dermis!
OK.
It’s mid-month, first of a New Year and many of you are still fast at work on
resolutions. You may hate me for this
but I’m going to point out something that may not have even crossed your
mind—and it should!
While
you’re busy becoming a CrossFit Queen or a Hot Yoga Hottie your skin may be
suffering from a bad case of neglect. Slack, crepe-y, neglected skin may
prevent you from putting your best face forward no matter how much you work
out.
Your
face has muscles, too. Believe it or not, proper stimulation of those important
57 muscles of the face can help your skin receive circulation that inactive
muscles simply cannot. Oxygen and nutrients are rushed to the surface and you
get a quick fix of line softening and a rush of youthful glow.
Many
experts have debunked the myth that by manually moving your facial muscles you
stretch the skin and cause lines. When done properly, this type of Skinyasa
(what I call it) is like yoga for your face and can turn Downward Facing Dermis
into Upward Facing Fab over time.
My
clients receive Skinyasa with every treatment and I consider it a core part of
what I do. I know how to move the facial muscles in a way that stimulates and
rejuvenates while it relaxes you!
February
is my birthday month and as my gift to you, here’s one exercise that you can do
at home to firm sagging chin and neck muscles and stimulate circulation. If
possible, do this exercise at night and immediately apply (with upward
strokes!) your favorite face or neck cream to the area.
Grab
your favorite book and hold it horizontally under your chin, with one hand on
each side. Sit up very straight (think yoga) and keep your shoulders back, not
hunched. Push on the book with your chin and resist with both hands. Hold for a
three count and release. Repeat 10-12 times. You’ll feel the muscles that you
want to firm working.
Don’t
do your Skinyasa for the first 24 hours after Botox or fillers or for much
longer after facial surgery of any kind. And know that this type of facial
exercise, like any other kind of workout, is best when used as part of a
complete lifestyle program with proper diet and exercise.
