Daily Face-Yoga Tarot Exercise

The Brow Lift

The Brow Lift is a face-yoga exercise designed to target the muscles around the eyebrows and forehead. This exercise can help reduce the appearance of horizontal forehead lines and sagging eyebrows, providing a more lifted and youthful look.

Target Face Muscles

Frontalis Muscle: This muscle covers the forehead and raises the eyebrows. It's the primary muscle targeted in this exercise.

Orbicularis Oculi: The part of this muscle around the eyebrows is also engaged during the exercise.

How to Practice the Brow Lift

Starting Position: Sit or stand comfortably with a relaxed posture.

The Movement:

Place your index and middle fingers just above each eyebrow on the forehead.
Gently press these fingers down to create resistance.
While maintaining this resistance, raise your eyebrows using your forehead muscles.
Hold this raised position for a few seconds, then relax and lower the eyebrows.

Duration and Frequency: Repeat this lifting and lowering motion 5-10 times. You can do this exercise once or twice a day.

Benefits

Reduced Forehead Lines: Regular practice can help minimize the appearance of horizontal forehead wrinkles.

Lifted Eyebrows: This can contribute to a more lifted appearance of the eyebrows, giving a more alert and youthful look.

Toned Forehead Muscles: Leads to stronger, more toned muscles in the forehead.

Improved Muscle Control: Enhances the ability to control and coordinate movements of the eyebrows and forehead.
