We use millions of muscles in our faces every day. Have you ever wondered how much time we spend just blinking? We can blink 14 to 19 thousand times a day and due to doing this for years, wrinkles start forming in front and behind our eyes. The more you use your facial muscles, the sooner wrinkles will start forming in them. In such a situation, why not train the face in advance so that it remains protected from wrinkles for a longer period?
Fumiko Takatsu, founder and creator of the Face yoga method, keeps sharing things related to it on Instagram. This time, with the help of the trick he has told, the wrinkles near your eyes start reducing.
According to Fumiko, you should always take care of the area around your eyes. It should be kept properly moisturized because this area is very delicate. Regular facial muscle exercises can give a better look to your face.
As we age, our skin loses collagen and its elasticity decreases. In such a situation, wrinkles start increasing.
