My face yoga experience: how 4 weeks of face yoga affected my double chin, facial skin, and well-being?

I'm Mirja, a 26-year-old woman who decided to try face yoga to do something good for both my face and my well-being. My life is quite fast-paced – I attend school and work simultaneously, plus I have two godchildren and an adorable cat girl. Therefore, I consciously have to find time for myself, otherwise the whole day tends to get lost in other obligations.

The face yoga course came to me at a time when I was looking for a calmer way to get more in touch with my body and face. Active workouts haven't always suited me, but the idea of training facial muscles seemed exciting. I had nothing to lose, after all.

 

 

Why did I decide to join the face yoga course?

I didn't have very high expectations for face yoga. I'm generally happy with my face, and I have minimal wrinkles. I've always thought that wrinkles give a face character and are a natural part of life.

However, the double chin bothered me. I naturally have a weaker jawline and a wider face shape, which made the double chin visible in some photos. I wanted to try if face yoga could help activate facial muscles, support the jaw area, and visually sculpt the face.

I was also drawn to the fact that face yoga is a natural beauty ritual. No injections, no surgery, no quick promises – just consistent practice and conscious facial care.

First Week: Awakening Facial Muscles and First Surprises

In the first week, I was surprised at how well the face yoga course was structured. In addition to exercises, the course also had many thought-provoking questions and explanations that helped me better understand why to train or relax a particular facial area.

Right from the start, I noticed that I was training facial muscles in a way I had never considered before. Some exercises seemed simple, some funny, and some completely new.

The exercise whose effect I saw immediately was the lip-plumping exercise. Obviously, I didn't immediately have Kylie Jenner's lips, but my lips were plumper than before. It certainly brought a pleasant surprise to my day. It was also nice to notice that I had unknowingly already been practicing face yoga before.

I also liked that the course taught how to use a facial roller. I didn't have a facial roller at home, but I used massage crystals and realized how pleasant adding facial massage to my daily beauty routine could be.

Second Week: Relaxing the Frown Line and Lifting the Smile

In the second week, I especially remembered the frown line relaxer. It felt like a very logical continuation of the first week's exercises, where I learned to feel my facial muscles differently.

I also really liked the smile-lifting exercise. In my opinion, everyone should do it, because a smile affects the entire facial expression. When the face is naturally more open and friendly, the overall impression also seems softer.

At the same time, the second week also had more challenging exercises. For example, moving the lower eyelid was a real challenge for me. At first, I strained a lot, but by the end of the week, I had a pretty good idea of how that muscle works.

I skipped one exercise for smoothing lines around the mouth because I felt it didn't suit me. Instead, I chose an extra exercise from the previous week. This was a good reminder: when doing face yoga, you need to listen to your body and face.

Third Week: Face Yoga Became a Morning Ritual

In the third week, I realized that evening practice didn't suit me best. I moved face yoga to the morning, and it made the whole experience more pleasant.

I took out the Clensik facial oil and started doing exercises with the video every morning. It became a pleasant self-care ritual, not just another obligation.

I particularly enjoyed relaxing my cheeks, massaging my jaw, and massaging my forehead. These exercises remained my favorites, and I still do some of them almost every day.

This week, I also noticed how much tension accumulates in my neck and shoulders. When the instructor reminded me to relax my shoulders, I realized how often I hold them tense. Neck stretching became a daily habit for me.

This week also features my 2 favorite exercises from this entire course, which were jaw and forehead massage. I now enjoy these exercises almost daily.

Fourth Week: Consistency is Key

The fourth week was the hardest for me. The exercises were more complex, and life got busy at times. There was also a break where I didn't do any exercises for a while.

At the same time, I realized that face yoga doesn't have to be perfect. What's important isn't that everything works out perfectly every day, but that you come back to the exercises.

Some exercises required more coordination, and I wasn't always sure if I was doing them correctly. At such times, it was good that the course came with a supportive community where I could get confirmation and support.

In the fourth week, I also truly felt for the first time that my facial muscles had worked properly after the exercises. After the workout, I needed a longer relaxation and did an additional facial massage for myself.

What were the results of face yoga?

My main goal was to reduce my double chin. I can't say it disappeared completely, but I felt and saw that the double chin had diminished. Since my jawline is naturally this way, I didn't expect an overnight miracle.

Additionally, I noticed several other positive changes:

• lips appeared plumper;
• skin texture became smoother;
• under-eye skin felt firmer;
• corners of the mouth lifted slightly;
• face felt more toned;
• neck and shoulder tension decreased;
• daily self-care became more enjoyable.

What resonated most with me from the course was the feeling that face yoga is not just about appearance. It's also a way to take a few minutes each day, breathe, relax, and pamper yourself.

Do I recommend the face yoga course?

Yes, I do recommend it. Especially if you want to naturally support facial skin tone, relax facial muscles, reduce tension, and make your beauty routine more mindful.

Face yoga is well-suited for someone who wants to naturally prevent aging, feel their face more, and do something for themselves without surgical intervention.

However, it's important to remember that results require consistency. For some people, changes may come faster; for others, it takes more time. My experience showed that even in 4 weeks, it's possible to notice small but encouraging changes.

I agree, as a lovely lady in our face yoga Facebook group said, that it's great to do face yoga, for example, on the bus when you're wearing a mask. Truly, no one will notice. Okay, not all exercises can be done, but surprisingly many exercises can be performed between your other activities. I encourage everyone to try it.
