The eye area is one of the most common places people feel insecure or dissatisfied with. And while under eye wrinkles, eye bags, crow’s feet, and droopy eyelids are a common occurrence, there are things you can do to prevent and minimize their appearance, naturally, so you can regain your confidence and stop wasting money on expensive eye creams.
Lifting the eyes is a great place to start taking years off your face and brightening your entire look. But desiring big bright eyes no longer means you need to go under the knife or get routine injections. For optimal and maintained results for your eye area, we always suggest doing Face Yoga exercises, which restores and tones the muscles beneath the skin’s surface meaning you’re reducing sagging skin, creases and wrinkles both below and on the surface of your skin. Think of it as approaching your eye area from the root of the problem!
YOUR ROUTINE TO REDUCE UNDER EYE BAGS, DROOPY EYELIDS AND EYE WRINKLES:
Exercise 1 | Create Awareness
Before exercising the eye area, you must bring awareness to the forehead muscle, the largest muscle of the face. The forehead muscle extends from the forehead all the way to the back of your head, so it’s important when thinking about the eye area, to think about how you can use your forehead to support your eye exercises.
- Place your hands on your forehead and push against the forehead while pulling it up slightly at the same time. This will instantly result in a dramatic change and opening of the eyes as our facial muscles are connected and work together.
- Now, it is important to note and identify where the ring muscles around the eye area is. The ring muscles are found in the one inch circumference around the actual eye.
- As you are simultaneously pushing and pulling on the forehead, imagine this ring around your eye area and consciously open your eyes.
Hold for 10 seconds. For optimal results we recommend three sets.
Exercise 2 | Brighten And Tone Your Eyes
- Using the same forehead technique as in Exercise 1, this time imagine you are looking at something far away and very bright that it results in you squeezing the eye muscles. What you are doing here is intentionally training and strengthening the ring muscles with control.
Hold for 10 seconds. For optimal results we recommend three sets.
Exercise 3 | Vanish Crows Feet
- Place your index finger by the outer edge of the eyebrow and middle finger on the cheekbone. Next, spread this area between the outer edge of the eyebrow and cheekbone slightly.
- Make sure you are not forming wrinkles near the eyebrow as you are doing this exercise. This movement is very gentle and subtle.
- Now do this movement on both sides, flare your elbows out, and squint your eyes.
Hold for 10 seconds. For optimal results we recommend three sets.
Exercise 4 | Create Symmetrical Eyes
- Place your middle finger on the innermost corner of the eye and your index finger on the outer part of your eye.
- Relaxing the forehead is key and allows the mouth to slightly open.
- This time, with your eyes only, look up at the ceiling.
Hold for 10 seconds. For optimal results we recommend 3 sets.
Exercise 5 | Eliminate Under Eye Bags
- Place your thumbs close to your ears and your index fingers under your eyes.
- Next, allow your mouth to drop and only moving your eyes, look up towards the ceiling.
Hold for 10 seconds. For optimal results we recommend 3 sets.
HOW TO CREATE A CONSISTENT EYE AREA ROUTINE
Face Yoga Method is a simple and all-natural technique you can do anywhere, no tools required. It’s so effective that even after just a few minutes of Face Yoga for the eye area exercises a day, you can start to notice a difference!
Once you master the technique and become confident in how each exercise should look and feel, you can practice them anywhere. This in turn will help you create a consistent routine, of at least a few poses a day, that you can do while cooking, while in the shower, in the grocery line, etc.
The eye area is often where we first start to notice fine lines and wrinkles appearing. While this can bring many people down and make them self conscious about their age, it is our mission to help men and women worldwide regain their confidence and embrace their age.

Hi Beauty! We’re thrilled to hear about your results. Keep up the great work and we look forward to supporting your Journey!
Ansiosa pelo curso com certificação profissional em Face Yoga, prevista para Junho de 2021.
Tenho interesse na formação de professores. No Brasil as mulheres são bem vaidosas, mas estão perdendo sua identidade através de injeções com ácidos e toxinas, que chamam de “Harmonização Facial” (eu chamo de “Padronização Facial”).
Quanto ao curso, espero que tenha tradução livre para língua portuguesa (BRA) ou língua espanhola.
Obrigada
Hi Carla! Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in the Face Yoga Method Teacher Training, and helping women in Brazil regain their confidence 100% naturally. While our Ultimate Guide to The Face Yoga Method eBook is translated into both Portuguese and Spanish, our Teacher Training is intimately led by Fumiko and is therefore still only available in English, as Fumiko does not speak Portuguese. On our website you can sign up to receive updates on future translated Programs! 🙂
Thank you much ❤️
You’re very welcome! 🙂
I liked it, I didn´t notice I could strech that muscle thanks
You’re so welcome! Glad we could help! 🙂
I don’t understand where to put fingers in exercise 5, especially the index. Where under the eyes? Thank you.
Hi Stefanie! The full length of the index fingers should be placed under the eyes, so that the tips of the fingers are touching the nose and the fingers are parallel to the forehead. In the video inside the blog Fumiko demonstrates this in the last exercise so you can see exact placement of the fingers! 🙂
face yoga is efficent till what age?,60 -70
Hi Fatma! There is no age limit for Face Yoga and you can do facial exercises at any age! Face Yoga works by toning the muscles beneath the skin’s surface, which is the foundation of our face and skin! We look forward to supporting your Journey! 🙂
