AI GeneratedMasumi, founder of the Japanese Face Yoga Academy, demonstrates a five-step massage routine designed to soften smile lines and naturally lift the face. The method emphasizes relaxing the surrounding muscles rather than focusing solely on the lines themselves, promoting a fresh, balanced appearance through gentle tissue manipulation and consistency.
If this part hurts, your smile lines is getting deeper.
Hi, I'm Masumi, the founder of Japanese Face Yoga Academy.
I transform my face from this to this.
Today we are going to do 5 step massage to soften your smile lines
and lift your face naturally.
If you worry about smile lines,
massaging only your smile line is not enough.
We also need to relax the area around your nose,
cheeks, ears, temple and more.
So today, we will relax these 5 areas to help
your whole face look fresh and lifted.
Let's see if you can notice a difference.
So guys, if you're joining, please comment day 1 and let's get started.
But first, let's check your face before we start.
Grab your mirror.
Let's check two things.
Number 1, your smile lines.
Relax your face and look at your smile lines.
Is one side deeper than the other?
Next, check the corner of your mouth.
Relax your face and then compare both sides.
Is one side lower than the other?
so guys please remember how your face looks like right now
so today we're gonna do something very
different so guys let's get started let's start
with the area we checked first right next to your
nose place your index finger next to your nose
and gently lift the muscles slightly upward from here
gently move it from side to side one two three four don't rub
the surface of your skin keep your
finger in the same place
and gently move the tissue underneath if this area is
very tight it may feel a little sore
when you press it releasing this area
can also help soften the appearance of your smile line
but stronger is not
always better so please use comfortable pressure
and slowly relax this area
keep going Wow how do you feel this side
is already lifted next let's move a
little deeper into the cheek area,
place your finger just under the cheekbone.
From here, gently lift
the tissue diagonally upward towards your temple.
Keep the gentle lift
and slowly massage the area underneath the cheekbone. Try not
to slide across the surface of your skin.
Instead, imagine lifting and releasing
the deeper tension underneath.
Take a slow breath in and as you breathe out,
allow the cheek to soften and relax
when this area is tight your cheeks may feel
heavy or harder to lift when you smile
so please keep the pressure comfortable
breathe slowly and gently create more space
in the movement in your cheek yay
what do you think next let's work around
the ear gently hold your ear from
underneath looks like you're scooping up with your hand
then gently lift the
whole ear upward and slowly rock it
or even massage in shaking motion the area
around your ear is connected
to the muscles around your jaw temple and neck
if you clench your teeth
or spend a lot of time looking at your phone this area
can become very tight too relax your face
and gently move the area can you
already feel the right side
of your face becoming lighter please let me know by
leave in comments down below I love
this massage
so much next let's release the
temple area raise the palm of your hand over
your temple from here gently
massage the area in throat circles
almost like you're tracing around the
edge of the muscles this muscle is called
the temporaries and then we use
it every time we chew when this area becomes tight
and overworked the muscles
around your face may not move as freely,
which can make your face look heavier and more tired
over time.
So, keep your back teeth slightly upper,
relax your jaw, and breathe slowly as you massage.
And please remember, consistency is everything.
Have you been doing this every day?
Come back and leave a comment each day
so I know you are staying consistent.
Finally, let's work on the neck,
which is a very important foundation for your face.
Turn your face slightly to the side.
You should see and feel this large muscle on the side of your neck.
Very gently hold the muscles between your fingers.
Slowly move from the top to the bottom.
When your neck becomes very tight,
it can affect your posture and create more tension around your face.
But your neck is a very sensitive area,
so please never press too hard or work through pain.
Keep the pressure gentle and comfortable.
Enjoy the movements
Okay, great
So let's check your face right now
Let's go
Yay
So guys, please remember
We have done this side, right?
So look in the mirror and compare both sides
How are your smile lines?
What about the corner of your mouth?
Compare your cheeks and jawline
Does this side already look a little more lifted?
Please let me know by leaving comments down below.
So this is why it's so important to use the correct technique
and practice consistently.
For example, this is my student Izumi, who is in her 60s.
She has been practicing Muscle Me Face Lift Yoga,
and I looked how much more defined her
jawline looks.
And this is Mika, who is in her 50s.
She has learned to reduce extra tension around her mouth in the jaw,
and now she can lift
the corner of her mouth more naturally.
I'm so glad that with the right technique and consistent practice,
your face can gradually
change too!
So guys, let's borrow both sides
and then do the same 5 techniques on the other side.
Let's get started!
Now let's do the same on the other side.
Place your index finger next to your nose
and gently lift the area slightly upward.
Keep your finger in place and slowly move the tissue from side to side.
This small area can hold more tension than you might realize.
When this area gets tight,
it can become harder to lift your cheeks naturally when you smile.
So rather than pressing harder,
focus on gently losing the tissue underneath your finger.
Relax your mouth, keep breathing, and let this side slowly soften.
This can also help the area around
your smile lines look more relaxed.
I feel much better on this side.
What about you?
Next, move just underneath your cheekbone.
Slowly press into the area
and lift diagonally upward towards your temple, the upward direction
as you slowly massage underneath the cheekbone.
This is a great area to work on if your cheeks feel heavy
or if one side feels harder to
lift when you smile.
Take a deep breath in and slowly breathe out
as you release the tension.
Try to imagine your cheek becoming softer, lighter, and easier to move.
Don't force it.
Small control movements are enough.
Over time, keeping this area relaxed can help you create more balance
and a natural-looking
smile.
Now, let's move around the ear.
Place your hand underneath your ear,
gently scoop it upward, and softly lift it into your
ear.
From here, slowly block the area 1, 2, 3, 4.
We often forget about this area,
but tension around the ear can be connected with tightness
around the jaw, temple, and neck.
If you clench and grin your teeth,
or spend hours looking down at your forehead, this
area can start to feel very stiff.
So this is so important and let your jaw relax completely.
Keep your teeth slightly upward and continue breathing.
As you release this area,
notice whether this side of your face starts to feel lighter or
mouth open.
Place your palm over
your temple.
Using your palm, slowly massage in large,
gentle circles following the shape of the
muscle.
This is your temple muscle.
It works every time you chew, bite, or cleanse your teeth,
or it can easily become overworked.
When this area stays tight,
your face can feel tense and heavy, and it may become harder
to relax your facial expressions.
So don't think this as something you only
do when your face feels tight.
Make it part of your daily routine.
Relax your jaw, separate your back teeth, and breathe gently.
Consistently makes a much bigger difference
than using strong pressure once in a while.
Are you still following along every day?
If you are, please let me know by leaving comments down below.
Finally, let's release the other side of the neck.
Turn your face slightly to the side
and gently hold the large muscles around your neck.
Slowly break it away from the top toward the bottom.
When your neck is tight,
it can create extra tension on the jaw and face.
This and this area can help your whole face feel lighter
and more relaxed.
But please remember, the neck is sensitive,
so never press too hard or work through pain.
Keep it gentle and comfortable.
Now relax your face and notice the difference.
Does your face feel lighter
or easier to move?
Yes?
If you want to continue day 2, please leave a comment day 1 for today.
Look at the difference.
It feels easier to smile and my jawline looks more defined.
Check yours in the mirror, too.
Please remember, correct technique is very important.
If you use too much force or move your face the wrong way,
you may actually create more
wrinkles and sagging.
