Okay, we are all for the
quick fix when it comes to
beauty. But as we have learned through
makeup, skin care, and
hair, at least for us, nothing comes easy.
That's why, when we saw
Face Yoga being demonstrated on
Good Morning America recently, we rolled our
eyes.
We cannot prove that a set of
facial exercises from the
world of
yoga DON'T work, but really now.....
Plastic surgeons will tell you that only
surgery can correct the
problems of
aging.
Yes, there are indeed
quick fixes like
Botox and
cosmetic filler injectables like
Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, and so forth. But these, alone, cannot create the
same results as a
surgical procedure. In fact, these days,
plastic surgeons sometimes use
facelift surgery and
fillers together,in the
ultimate quest for a
more youthful face.
Annelise Hagen, a yoga teacher in
NY, would claim otherwise. She believes one can
naturally reverse the signs of
aging with
several yoga face positions. Take a
look at the
photos of
Ms Hagen demonstrating these
facial exercises. She also wrote a
book in
2008 called,
Yoga Face: Eliminate Wrinkles With The Ultimate Natural Facelift.
And she's back
4 years later, still swearing by these
facial exercises.
Annelise looks
great, and if she claims that's all she's been doing to look
smooth + wrinkle-free, then
more power to her!
Check out

Yoga Face on
YouTube, 2009.
A lot of women DO swear by
facial exercises, and who are we to judge. However, there are simply
no scientific facts to support the
theory.
If you've had
success doing
yoga face, please leave us your
comments.
