Begin by sucking in your cheeks and hold this position for 30-90 seconds. Once you have mastered this practice after 2 weeks, your muscles would have built the required strength. This is the intermediate level of the exercise, whereby you create resistance. Hold the fish face and try to smile with your cheeks; the zygomatic muscles creating a power-lift. Although, while practicing ensure that you smile solely with your cheek muscles and not your eyes. This is a great exercise to tone and sculpt your cheek muscles (the zygomatic), as well as work on lifting your nasolabial folds and smile lines.

The harder you push, the better the stretch. Close your eyes and come back to the starting position. This is a strong exercise and immediately channelises blood flow towards the head. Hence, closing your eyes and coming back to the starting position is essential. This exercise works wonders for your lower face.

There certainly are some limitations that come with face yoga. And, this calls for turning to face tools which have the ability to dive deeper into your muscles, releasing muscle tension and sculpting your skin to achieve the desired results. In the following exercise you must hold the fish face position, while simultaneously moving the jade roller from your chin to the earlobe, with firm pressure. Next, move up from your cheeks all the way to your temples. Repeat this step 6 times. As you continue holding the fish face position, look up and move the jade roller from your chin, downwards to the collar bone, and further around your neck. This will help iron out wrinkles and saggy facial skin.
