Decongest your eyes: A facial yoga routine
In the digital age, where our eyes are glued to screens for hours, taking care of our eyes becomes essential. But what if you could do more than just protect your eyesight? Imagine a routine that not only relieves eye strain, but also tones the appearance of your eyelids. Here's a mini face yoga routine designed by our expert instructor to do exactly that!
Step 1: Preparation and deep breathing
Find a quiet place and sit comfortably.
Close your eyes gently and take several deep breaths. Inhale through your nose, feel your abdomen expand, and exhale slowly through your mouth. This step will relax your mind and prepare your eyes for the routine.
Step 2: Eyebrow massage
With your fingertips, make gentle circular movements along your eyebrows. This massage will stimulate blood circulation and relieve tension accumulated in the frontal area.
Step 3: Palming (Cover eyes with palms)
Rub your palms together to generate heat and then gently place them over your closed eyes. Feel the heat penetrate and relax the muscles around your eyes. Stay like this for a few minutes while breathing deeply.
Step 4: Eye Exercises
Start with gentle eye movements. Make slow circles in both directions and then make movements up and down. This helps lubricate the eyes and improves ocular flexibility.
Then, do the exercise of looking up and down without moving your head. Repeat this movement several times to strengthen your eye muscles.
Step 5: Facial Yoga for Eyelids
Use your index fingers to gently lift your upper eyelids, while keeping your eyes closed. Do this exercise several times to tone the muscles around your eyes and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Step 6: Final relaxation
Gently close your eyes and rest your hands on your knees. Remain in this position, breathing deeply, allowing relaxation to settle.
Ready! You have completed your facial yoga routine to rest your eyes. You can incorporate this practice into your daily routine, especially after long sessions in front of the screen. You will not only be taking care of the health of your eyes, but also promoting a fresh and relaxed appearance in your eye area. Discover the power of facial yoga for a radiant and rested look!
