We join a gym or work out to keep our bodies toned. But what do we do to tone our face? The skin of face is much more delicate as compared to other open body parts and it is imperative that we do some adequate thing about it to keep signs of ageing at bay.
You don’t necessarily have to opt for cosmetic treatments like Botox or fillers. Face or facial yoga is also a way to keep your face fit that too naturally. If you can’t find a class nearby, fret not! We’ve picked out some of the best facial yoga videos, designed to help you explore this trend.
Facial yoga fans, including celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston, are all giving themselves an extra beauty burst, so why not join in?

Looking straight ahead place your finger tips on the top of your neck and pull the skin down as you tilt your head back. Bring your head back down and repeat twice. Then jut your lower lip out as far as possible, place your fingers on your collarbone and point your chin upwards, pulling the corners of your mouth down. Hold for four deep breaths.

To get rid of forehead lines.
Pull down your skin with the index fingers while trying to raise your eyebrows upwards and making the eyes wide.
