The Yoga Face: Eliminate Wrinkles with the Ultimate Natural Facelift

by Annelise Hagen

To keep their faces looking younger, women today try everything from invasive procedures such as plastic surgery and Botox to expensive cosmeceuticals. "Yotox" is a new and completely natural alternative anti-aging regimen that women can do anytime and anywhere-and in just minutes. The exercises, developed by yoga expert and instructor Annelise Hagen, are based on a simple The muscles of the face are no different from the muscles of the rest of the body. If you don't exercise the muscles below the neck, they become weak and flabby, and the same thing will happen to your face with age. Just as yoga routines work the muscles in the body, the stretches and movements in Yotox tighten and tone the face muscles-and combat wrinkles. "Working out" with fun facial exercises such as the Louis Armstrong "Satchmo," the Marilyn Monroe "kiss," and the "Lion Face," readers will notice changes quickly; and over time, the results are dramatic. Illustrated with more than seventy-five instructive photos throughout, Yotox offers an easy, safe, and effective solution to help women turn back the clock and have beautiful, young-looking skin.

[Two Readers in Love · Rating 3 out of 5]

A January 2018 publication in the JAMA Dermatology (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama...) has put facial yoga back in the spotlight. The sample size is small, but the findings were interesting. "Physical manifestations of facial aging are now understood to include not only skin laxity and superficial photodamage but also deeper substructural volume loss of fat and muscle." It seems like these exercises are, worst, harmless relaxation and at best a way to retain facial fullness and support jaw health.

I wanted to like this book, I wish it had more pictures to help with exercise.

Good exercises in the first couple chapters! The rest was sort of basic.

I'm currently just doing the facial exercises though I've read through the whole book nolw. I was nit expecting much, but my jawline appears to be firmer and my crows' feet have receded (though they haven't disappeared completely). So, I'm pretty happy so far!

In addition to facial exercises and yoga poses, the book delves into massage, meditation, mantras, breathing exercises, nutrition, and a little bit about skincare and makeup. Since I have high blood pressure, I really appreciated that the author indicated which yoga poses people with my condition should avoid.

So far, it appears to be a worthwhile read. We'll see as I put the rest of the book's information into practice.

I love holistic "cures". Honestly, who knows if they work? I feel a sense of accomplishment that I'm trying to help myself...and when is extra chill-out advice ever a bad thing?
