Spoon ace yoga, despite its often unusual-looking exercises, is gaining popularity for its effectiveness in improving facial skin appearance. Experts confirm that these exercises can help tone and strengthen facial muscles, leading to a more youthful and sculpted look.
A new trend in face yoga is the spoon exercise, which is particularly beneficial for toning the cheeks and reducing double chin. According to Dr. Shreyas Katharani, Head of Physiotherapy at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre, this technique can be effective but requires precautionary measures to ensure safety.
Spoon exercises should be done using thick and blunt-shaped spoons to prevent injuries. It is crucial to wash the spoon properly before use to maintain hygiene. Additionally, individuals with cardiac conditions or those on blood-thinning medications should avoid these exercises, as even mild trauma to the gums can cause bleeding.
Spoon Face Yoga Exercises
Spoon face yoga involves simple yet effective exercises using a spoon to help relax facial muscles, alleviate tension, and improve skin appearance. Some common exercises include:
- Holding a Spoon with Lips: Place a spoon between your lips and hold for 10 seconds while tilting your neck backward.
- Holding a Spoon with the Tongue: Grip a spoon with your tongue and hold for 10 seconds to strengthen facial muscles.
- Blowing the Cheeks: Puff out your cheeks and hold the position for a few seconds to improve circulation and elasticity in the skin.
Beyond enhancing facial appearance, face yoga supports lymphatic drainage, which helps in reducing puffiness, relieving sinuses, and improving nasal breathing. It also helps in slowing down the aging process, giving the face a natural glow and brightness.
