WHY SYMMETRICAL FACES ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE

There’s a lot of psychology behind what we find attractive. But regardless of culture, nationality, age, or gender, facial symmetry is universally associated with attractiveness in both sexual and non-sexual contexts. 

Psychological studies conclude that the most well-supported theory for this fact is that humans have evolved to recognize symmetry as representative of good genes and physical health. 

FACE SYMMETRY TEST

While a little bit of asymmetry is completely normal, you might be wondering if your face is symmetrical. While some of you might be pretty sure that they have an asymmetrical face (especially when it’s obvious), for those who are unsure here’s a great exercise to determine where you have symmetry in your face. 

Start by looking into a mirror or taking a photo (one smiling and one with a relaxed face) and check for the following: 

• Are your  brows the same height? 
• Are both eyes the same size? 
• Is one eyelid more droopy?
• Are the corners of the mouth the same height? 
• Are both sides of the lips the same size? 
• Is the tip of your nose tilted, or nostrils the same width? 
• Do your cheeks have the same volume? 
• Are your dimples or pouches on the sides of your mouth the same size?
• Do you have deeper wrinkles on one side of your face or the other?

If you’re looking to correct asymmetrical face or improve your overall facial asymmetry, our Face Toning Bootcamp is the fastest way to achieve all-over symmetry and facial toning. 

When practicing Face Yoga for symmetry (or for any reason) it’s important to practice poses equally on both sides of your face. Even if one side of your face is more dominant and stronger than the other, keep practicing and helping your weaker side get stronger! 

POSTURE – AN IMPORTANT FACTOR CAUSING FACIAL ASYMMETRY

Every imbalance in the body can cause facial asymmetries. If you’re seeing wrinkles on one side of your face or neck more than the other, check your posture to be sure you are sitting and standing with an erect and relaxed spine, shoulders are even, and breathing is steady. 

Since our body and face are connected, what the body does shows on the face. Don’t forget to strengthen your core and improve flexibility with body exercise too! 

3 TIPS FOR FIXING AN ASYMMETRICAL EYE AREA 

1. AWARENESS AND FACIAL EXERCISES: If you look closely at your face in the mirror, you can usually see that one eye is slightly (or significantly) larger than the other and the larger eye is also usually higher than the smaller. While it’s important not to fixate on the symmetry of our face, the good news is that using awareness and facial exercises we can create a more symmetrical face! 
2. CORRECTING YOUR DAILY HABITS: Often we get asymmetrical eyes of the actions we take in our day. For example, if you talk on your phone on one side of your face, you probably have a lift in the corner of that eye and more crow’s feet and wrinkles. 
3. CHANGING YOUR SLEEP POSITION: Sleep position is one of the leading causes of asymmetry in our faces. Sleeping on your back is the best position to help prevent wrinkles and asymmetry, but most people find sleeping on their back uncomfortably. Instead, you can try this pillow which has been specially created to reduce pressure and friction on your face when sleeping on your side. 

FACE YOGA FOR THE ASYMMETRICAL (CROOKED) NOSE 

While the eyes play a very important role in our communication with others, the nose is the focal point of our face. Often, people are unhappy with their nose and want it to be thinner, shallower, and for their nostrils to be more equal. 

The nose is primarily made up of firm cartilage, BUT there are muscles on your nose and surrounding areas that allow face yoga to work on the nose area too! 

Since this area is mostly cartilage, the secret to reshaping your nose is consistency and attention to your daily habits. The changes on the nose area are not as dramatic or obvious as on the body or other parts of your face, so you cannot expect overnight changes by doing the exercise once a week.

Here is my top Face Yoga pose to try for reshaping the muscles around the nose: 

For best results, do three to five repetitions of this pose. Remember, you while it is important to focus on your nose, do not wrinkle your forehead.

GETTING RID OF A LOPSDIED SMILE 

A smile is our invitation, introduction, and blueprint for everyone we see. 

After the car accident, I was in my thirties, my smile was lopsided, my neck, back, and shoulders slanted, and this new reality made me so aware of what muscles I use to move my face and body.

I started to realize how simple, tiny adjustments could change the way I presented myself to the world.

If I could lift my cheek just slightly here, and relax my chin there, I could present a smile I felt beautiful and confident with. Here’s a pose I always do before I hit the door to give me the best symmetrical smile: 

It’s small things like this and the little habits we do each day that create our “look”. 

The first step is awareness and once you have that, you’re on your way to feeling and looking your best! If you’re ready to try Face Yoga and want to start creating a more symmetrical smile naturally, download the FREEBIE TUTORIAL below!

WHAT FACIAL ASYMMETRY SAYS ABOUT OUR ENERGY 

The lines and wrinkles on our face tell a story and since our face is our first impression, it’s important to try to do our best to look happy, bright, and open. In addition to wrinkles being a result of our habits, all of our emotions are stored on our face. 

Facial reflexology relates the different sides of the face to either masculine or feminine energy.  

The left side of your face is the more feminine side and relates to who you are and your personal life. 

Strong feminine energy traits include:

• Vulnerability
• Honesty 
• Transparency
• Authenticity

To balance your dominant feminine energy try: 

• Meditation 
• Journalling 
• Alone time 

The right side is the more masculine side and relates to your work.

Strong masculine energy traits include:

• Curiosity
• Creativity
• Easy going 
• Self-awareness

To balance your dominant masculine energy try: 

• Creative projects 
• Self-care
• Setting clear boundaries
