The Art of Facial Yoga with Les Huilettes

What is Facial Yoga exactly?

Facial yoga is essentially a form of exercise for your face. The Les Huilettes guide implores massage to stimulate the muscles, the skin and the lymphatic system. It is a natural alternative that has been practiced by cultures for centuries to improve the complexion and promote a more youthful appearance. For me it is part of a holistic approach to well ageing. Along with healthy sleeping patterns and exercise, facial yoga promotes a positive mind and attitude that supports my confidence and how I feel about my appearance, no matter my age.

The Benefits of Facial Yoga

1. Induces glowing skin as the massage oxygenates the cells and stimulates the blood flow promoting healthy cell function that supports collagen integrity.
2. Tones the facial contours as the massage acts to refine and firm the brows, the cheeks and jawline. It is also great for helping to reduce the lines between the brows.
3. Releases tension in face and jawline and helps to enhance sleep quality.
4. Boosts your self-esteem and connection to self.
5. It’s painless, non-invasive and free!

Getting Started with your Facial Yoga

Regardless of whether you have been wearing makeup or not, your nightly cleanse should be a double cleanse. The double cleanse ensures your skin is in optimum condition to receive the nutrients from your treatment, serum or oil. Plus a good double cleanse compliments the positive benefits of the facial massage you are about to perform.

Start with Les Huilettes Mon Huilette Cleanse, this decadent cleansing oil effortlessly lifts the impurities of the day and the aromatic benefits transport the mind to calm and mediative place. Follow your oil cleanse with Les huiltettes Extra-Gentle Soap. I love this soap! It’s super easy and leaves the skin squeaky clean but still nourished and balanced.

For the massage I use the mon huilette sensitive oil. I like an oil as it gives great slip so as not to drag the skin with the massage motions. This formula is not exclusive to those with sensitive skin. I use it as it helps keep my redness at bay and I like the absorbency. I also love the smell and now associate it with a really happy and calm ritual that prepares me for a restful night.

I often combine mon huilette sensitive with the mon huilettes cream emulsion which I apply after I have finished my facial yoga. I wake with super calm and plump looking skin.
