Acupressure For Reducing Glabellar Lines

Glabellar lines, or the vertical lines between the eyebrows, sometimes referred to as frown or 11 lines, are lines that form due to consistent frowning, focusing, and squinting. Many men and women are concerned about these creases as they can make them look older, angry or unhappy, even when they are not. Aging and sun exposure also cause deep glabellar lines, but they are mostly caused by the consistent movement of our eyebrows and forehead muscles. Therefore, loosening up the eyebrow muscles is a great way to reduce and prevent 11 lines.

You can do exercises for glabellar lines any time of day, but one of the most effective times to do, at least a few sets, is before going to bed so that you are not falling asleep with them expressed on your forehead. While many people wish to reduce them in order to regain their confidence and avoid surgical interventions, studies have that people who have glabellar lines generate more negative emotions. This doesn’t come as a surprise knowing that our body communicates with our mind, and therefore an expression of the wrinkles between our eyes sends signals to your brain that you are not happy. 

By practicing Face Yoga, you help boost blood circulation in your face, and relax the muscles around the eyebrows. This in turn will result in minimizing glabellar lines and leaving you with a more youthful appearance and happier mindset!

“The Forehead Acupressure Point Push (With Hands)” is a great exercise to start with that will relax your forehead and remove tension that causes wrinkles and glabellar lines.

1. Make fists with both hands and place your middle and index finger knuckles onto the center of your forehead.
