- Face yoga works in a number of ways for this area:
- Strengthens the depressor muscles
- Strengthens the orbicularis oris mouth muscle (donut shaped muscle that rings the mouth) and prevents a down turned mouth which makes marionette lines worse
- Stimulates collagen production in this area
- Increases blood flow for healthier skin (better circulation = more oxygen and nutrients to feed the skin)
