Your Face

A Work Of Art
(And Muscle!)
Everyone’s talking about Face Yoga and how it
does wonders in lifting your skin…but do you know
how it actually works?

Behind that beautiful face lies a complex structure of muscles and nerves.

For starters → here's a cool breakdown of what lies underneath…

70% Muscle & Bone: These form the foundation of your face shape
20% Skin: The canvas that reflects the underlying structure
10% Fat Pads: Add volume and definition

But did you know you have over 40 muscles JUST on your face?
These connect to your skin, and their movement and position directly
impact its appearance.

This guide won't just bore you with anatomy lessons. We'll show you
how your face muscles can actually HELP you fight wrinkles and sagging
skin.

It will be your go-to handbook for

uncovering the root causes of these
problem areas and understanding what
contributes to their development.

Who knows, by the time you finish this

guide, you might even see yourself as

Solution:
Solution: No More 11 Lines

This little muscle sits right between your eyebrows, originating deep
within the brow bone and attaching to the skin just above the bridge of
your nose.

Whenever you concentrate, squint, or frown, the Corrugator Supercilii

contracts, pulling the brows together. Over time, repeated contractions
can lead to the formation of those pesky frown lines.

Chronic stress can also cause your Corrugator Supercilii to remain tense,

lines.Additionally, sun damage weakens skin
elasticity, making it more susceptible to wrinkle formation.

The good news is that you can take control with Face Yoga.
By relaxing the Corrugator Supercilii and boosting circulation, Face Yoga
will help:

Smooth and soften existing frown lines

Prevent future lines from forming
Lift your entire brow area for a more youthful appearance
Orbicularis
Oculi
Effect: Crow’s Feet
Effect:
Cause: Squinting, Avoiding Sunglasses
Cause:
Solution:
Solution: Crow’s Feet Press

Notice those fine lines radiating from the corners of your eyes? Those
are called crow's feet, and the muscle responsible for their formation is
the Orbicularis Oculi.

This muscle encircles your entire eye, acting like a sphincter to close
your eyelids and blink. It’s always moving, blinking, and squinting to
protect your eyes.

Squinting in bright sunlight or not wearing sunglasses can make the

crow’s feet worse. Sun exposure weakens the skin's elasticity, making
wrinkles more noticeable.

Face Yoga can erase those lines with specific exercises that target the
Orbicularis Oculi, helping to:

Reduce tension and soften the appearance of crow's feet

Bring fresh oxygen + nutrients to the skin, promoting a more youthful
look
Stimulate collagen production, keeping skin plump and firm
Depressor
Anguli Oris
Effect: Marionette Lines, Jowls
Effect:
Cause:
Cause: Unconcious Resting Face
Solution:
Solution: Relax & Glow Lower Face

If people keep saying you look unhappy even though you're feeling just
fine, it could be because of the Depressor Anguli Oris muscle pulling
the corners of your mouth down (hence

name ‘Depressor’).
‘Depressor’).

The culprit behind marionette lines and jowls is often our unconscious
"resting face."

When the Depressor Anguli Oris is constantly contracted, even when

we're not frowning, it can pull the corners of our mouth down and
contribute to sagging jowls.

The BEST remedy? A Lower Face Yoga Routine can help to:

Relax + loosen up the tense muscles

Lift the corners of your mouth and soften the marionette lines
Provide natural support and definition to the jawline, combating jowls

Bonus Tip: Make a conscious effort to smile more often!
Orbicularis
Oris
Effect: Smoker Lines
Effect:
Cause: Drinking Through A Straw
Cause:
Solution: Big O
Solution:

This dynamic muscle forms a complete circle around your mouth,

allowing you to pucker up, kiss, and smile!

While smoker (also called barcode) lines are often associated with
smoking due to the repeated pucker, they can also be caused by the
constant pursing of your lips when using a straw, excessive sun exposure,
and the natural loss of volume as we age.

Face Yoga Method has specific poses that target the mouth area and will
help:

Relax your mouth area and add volume to your lips

Smooth out smoker lines
Stimulate blood flow + collagen production for firmer skin
Platysma
Effect: Turkey Neck, Double Chin
Effect:
Cause:
Cause: Looking Down
Solution: Swan Neck
Solution:

The Platysma is a broad, sheet-like muscle that stretches from your

collarbone all the way up to your jawline and chin.

Our modern lifestyles, filled with staring down at phones and computers,
put a strain on Platysma. Constantly looking down weakens the muscle,
leading to sagging skin and the formation of a turkey neck or double
chin.

With face yoga, you can quickly reduce sagginess and tone your neck
area, achieving a firmer, more youthful look. It helps:

Release tension in the neck and shoulders, improving posture and

preventing further sagging
Strengthen the Platysma for a lifted look
Boost blood circulation for younger, firmer skin

Bonus Tip:
Bonus Tip: Place a sticky note on your computer screen or desk with
a simple message like "Chin up!" or "Stand tall!" as a visual
reminder. You can even limit screen time using some apps that lock
other apps. 🤫
I am cosmetologist and recently a customer
with asymmetric upper lip came to me. I
decided to investigate her muscles with my
fingers and discovered that one Levator
Labii Superioris Alaeque has a knot and
therefore is shorter and not so elastic.
Thanks to Face Yoga Method, I studied
anatomy more detailed, I could give her
suggestion what to do.
