A fat face makes you look old and unsightly. Do some yoga to slim your face.

"Let's take a photo! Smile!" Modern people love taking selfies, but would you easily hide behind them out of inferiority because of your fat face? Or do you have to edit photos after taking them before saving them or sharing them with friends? You don’t have to worry about it in the future. Just spend 5 to 10 minutes every day doing face-slimming yoga and facial meridian massage. It’s actually very simple to transform yourself into a small-faced beauty.

Why does the face get swollen? Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is generally believed that if the human body's circulation is not smooth, waste water and toxins cannot be discharged in time and accumulate in the blood vessels, coupled with abnormal work and rest and diet, it will cause facial swelling. A puffy face not only makes you look fat and old, but also makes you look bad in photos.

It is not a dream to reduce your swollen face by 10 minutes a day

If you want to have a cone-shaped face and pointed chin like a female star, Dandan, a popular yoga coach from mainland China, teaches the meridian face-slimming method in her book "Slimming and Detoxifying Yoga Beauty Exercises". Just spend 5 to 10 minutes a day massaging the facial acupuncture points and meridians to improve facial meridian blockage, edema, sagging skin and lack of exercise, and help eliminate fat on the chin.

1. Baihui Point: Located at the center of the top of the head, massage the midpoint of the line connecting the two ear corners. Press this point with your middle finger and ring finger with a little force for 10 consecutive times. This can help calm the mind, prevent overeating, and reduce the chances of double chin due to obesity.

2. Daying Point: Located on the side of the head on the mandible, below the lips and in the chin bone depression. Use the middle fingers of both hands to press for 6 seconds while exhaling, with a 2-second break between each press, and repeat 30 times. This can increase the internal energy of the Qi and blood system, accelerate Qi and blood circulation, and eliminate edema.

Due to poor circulation in the body and the inability to excrete waste and toxins in a timely manner, the face is prone to swelling, which not only makes you look fat and old, but also makes you look bad in photos.

3. Chengjiang Point: Located in the depression between the lower lip and lower jaw. Press the Chengjiang point below the lips with the index finger of your right hand, press with a little force 20 times. This can control hormone secretion, maintain skin tension, and prevent facial sagging.

4. Renying point: located 3 cm outside the Adam's apple in the front of the neck. Put four fingers together with fingertips facing upwards, place the thumb on the Renying point and gently push up, stay for 3 to 5 seconds, rest for 2 seconds, and repeat pressing 10 times. This will help promote blood circulation in the face, make the facial skin firm and delicate, and also slow down the sagging of the jaw skin.

Small face upgrade! Chin massage for a beautiful side profile

Coach Dandan believes that by stimulating the facial acupuncture points during facial acupuncture, the sagging, puffy face and loose jaw muscles can be revitalized. If you combine it with some chin-tightening massage techniques, you only need to do it once a day. As long as you keep doing it, you will soon discover a beautiful 45-degree profile.

1. First, pinch the excess fat on your jaw with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, and pinch it every 1 cm in the backward direction. When you pinch to the base of the ear, repeat 5 times. This will help improve the overall facial contour.

2. Use the backs of both hands to push up the fat on the chin alternately. Repeat 25 to 30 times to help the chin line become firm again.
