Stress and the Face

Many things can causes stress, some examples are:

Pressure to perform at work

Guilt, perfectionism, worry

Money worries

Arguments

Family conflicts

Divorce

Bereavement

Unemployment

Moving house

The effects of stress on the face are numerous:

The production of collagen and elastin leading to a sallow, aged appearance;

Dehydration which makes the skin look unhealthy and tired.

Stress also means we frown, grimace, and squint for long periods of time which leads to lines and wrinkles.

The Face Yoga Method, consists of Face Yoga, Face Acupressure, Face Massage and Relaxation.   While you will notice a difference after the first couple of sessions, your face may feel like it has had a good workout, you will feel less tension and have a rosy glow.  It is over a longer period of time when you will notice and uplifting of the face and neck.

There are 57 muscles in the face and neck that need to be exercised. As the muscles become stronger they are lifted and firmed and the skin attached to the muscles is also lifted and tautened therefore reducing the lines and wrinkles.  As these muscles are smaller than the ones in the body, it takes a lot less time for them to increase in strength and tone.

Face Massage

The massage techniques used help increased circulation, lymph flow and remove toxins, making the skin look healthier and more youthful.

Acupressure is…

An ancient hands-on health care system of muscular tension release.

Based on the same points as acupuncture, using the power of the human hand instead of needles.<

Improves the functioning of the entire body, increases circulation and builds resistance.

Unblocks tensions, caused by stress, injuries, poor diet, incorrect posture, and lack of exercise.

Promotes emotional healing and reawakens the joy of living.

Acupressure is wonderful for helping to reduce lines and wrinkles by unblocking the tension and stress around the acupressure points so that the energy can flow more freely.  The hands on practice of acupressure releases muscular tension which tends to concentrate around these points and inhibit circulation.   The Chinese have used acupressure to enhance physical fitness and beauty for thousands of years.   This 5,000 year old system has been found effective for toning muscles, improving the condition and luster of kin, relieving acne, sinus problems, jaw tension, and headaches.   We will be doing this with simple finger pressure.

The Face Yoga Method is safe to use 6 days a week, taking one day off to rest.

The sessions will also include deep breathing which is also a huge part of releasing stress and tension.
