Hi Paulina. Thank you for this lovely exercise. I've been crying a lot lately because of a life crisis, and I was shocked to see my puffy eyes this morning. Not only did this exercise reduce the puffiness, but also supported my spirit in doing a little bit of self-care. I see you posted this a long time ago, but hopefully you still receive comments. ❤
Hi Karen, thanks so much for your feedback 🌸 Sorry to hear life has not been kind to you lately, I'm happy this video has helped you to find a well-deserved me-time and lifted your spirits 💜 well done for carving out time and space for self-care and nurture 💆♀
Hi Polina, thank you for making this video. It was slightly different than other exercises I had tried for malar bags and was an excellent workout for the eye muscles and cheeks. Plus, I felt my stress levels dissipate. I plan to add it to my daily routine. My malar bags developed almost overnight (4-5 days) after having Botox in my crow's feet, and the bags are still there 6 months later. I tried laser resurfacing, and the laser resurfacing made the malar edema even worse. Since it happened, I have incorporated eye exercises and face massage into my daily routine, sleeping in an elevated position, and less successfully, eliminating alcohol, sugar, and highly processed foods from my diet.
Thanks for your feedback Paris, I’m glad you found the video useful and sorry to hear your malar bags have developed after Botox. Sometimes our bodies react in the ways we don’t expect, the oedema under the eyes sounds like your lymphatic system’s reacting to the presence of Botox ingredients in the face. I would also recommend trying a gentler lymphatic drainage massage (no oil), with rhythmic pumping movement over the face to stimulate the flow of lymph and removal of toxins and for better cellular turnover. You can see it in my recent video of Face Yoga for Better Sleep. I salute the nutritional pivots you’ve made in your diet, that’s brilliant, I think it will be really helpful in minimising the malar bags and oedema. Polina
@@ElementalFaceYogawithPolina Thank you for recommending this video for the no-oil lymphatic drainage massage. I will try it tonight. And again, thanks for sharing these videos with others.
That' great to hear, I'm delighted you feel better🌸 giving oneself attention and time really does wonders for our self-esteem, mood and outlook on life 🌼😀
Thank, I've just found ypur channel and am amazed at the tesults after just one go😂 the puffiness has diminished immensely from under my eyes.I will subscribe and check out mote of your videos. Thank you for your tome and expertise, greatly appreciated.
Hi Debbie, I'm delighted to hear it !🌸 thanks for practicing with the video and applying the exercises to your face correctly. I hope you'll find more of my other videos that you'll enjoy !🌷
Thanks for your comment Felicia. Hopefully by doing the video regularly you will be able to lessen the molar bag on the right side of the face. Your might also need to do specific techniques that help you de-puff the face if you have fluid retention as a result of allergies. Keep an eye out on the video coming soon with very specific de-puffing techniques. Hope this helps. Polina
i'm 20 and i'm gonna start doing this exercise with other lifestyle changes because in the past 2 years my eye hollows got really bad due to malar bags shifting down and it's affected my appearance. Do you have specific video recommendations i feel like my cheek areas not as lifted as before and everything looks pulled down + my skin looks dull
Thanks for your questions 🌸 yes absolutely, start including the exercises daily and also include a face massage to create more glow in the skin. For cheeks, you can work with any of the videos in my Cheek Section, find the ones that resonate with you and alongside lifestyle changes, you should be able to see an improvement in a few weeks time💆♀
I just discovered you and this process seems very doable. My problem is the muscles in my face are different from my friends. I have no pad in my cheeks. I have longer upper lip. I never got the wrinkles around my eyes and the edge of my face and have always looked 10 years younger than I am. But now the tear trough has extended down to the middle of my cheek and made a C down to the corner of my lip. Will your exercise still work for me?
Hi Barbara, thanks for your comments, it's really difficult to say whether the exercises will help with very strong tear troughs but you can give it a go and see if they do lessen. I have a feeling they will be beneficial but don't expect miracles💆♀let me know how you get on and track progress with before and after photos every 4 weeks or so🌸
Thanks for your question and for watching the video 💚 it really depends on the extent of of the under eye fat deposit collapse, the exercises will definitely help to gently tone the eye muscles and improve blood circulation and lymph drainage, so do give these a go and see how you get on 💆♀
Thank you, Polina. This exercise makes so much sense. I am having trouble isolating the muscles but I am hoping that with practice it may become easier.
Hi Jane, thanks for your comment and glad you’re working through the exercise, the muscle isolation is probably the hardest part but once you connect and with practice, it becomes so much easier :) Polina
When i do that second exercise...i feel the back of my scalp contracting...just where the top of the neck merts the skull...am i doing something wrong? Sure is a strange sensation...didnt know i could move my scalp there LOL
Thanks for your question 🌸 interestingly enough what you're feeling is the movement and contraction of your head fascia (connective tissue). When we raise the eyebrows in the second exercise, we engage the forehead muscles which wrap up and over the top of the head all the way down into the back of the neck ! So it's not surprising you feel the pull as far up as the back of the head. What you can do, is to massage your scalp with your fingertips from top of the head to back of the neck (right into hair) after doing this exercise to release any strange sensations in there. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your question🌸 yes you can do this daily until you see improvement. Do also take stock of your nutrition, sleep, lifestyle and inner health as it all affects how our eyes look 💟
After doing this exercises,My face felt so relaxed as if I could take a nap. Is this normal? I plan to spend time every day working on these muscles in my face,Also can these exercises be done upon waking while still lying down?
Hi Samara, thanks for your feedback. It’s not uncommon to feel relaxed after doing Face Yoga, you’re stimulating lots of acupressure points while doing exercises that may help your nervous system to relax, hence that ‘sleepy feeling’ :) yes you can do these techniques in the morning if you like, just make sure if you’re lying down, you apply proper positioning of the fingerpads as indicated, hope this helps, Polina
Thanks for your question 🌸 you’re too young to have malar bags at 17! so if you’re generally healthy, then it might be lifestyle related (sleep, diet, etc), so tweak those and see if it creates results for you :)
Hi Fivi, thanks for your comment. You can do this routine 1-2 times a day, 6 days a week and you should be able to notice improvements within a month. If you have very prominent bags, you may not be able to complete diminish them but it will certainly give the whole under-eye and cheek areas a big boost. Hope this helps. Polina
Love your videos thank you. I have a question, when I do the upwards smile and press uppepr cheek into my fingerpads I don't feel anything. Is this normal or maybe I'm doing wrong? In the video you say "this was quite intense" and I'm always not feeling that
Many thanks for your question :) it's normal for the upper cheek muscles not to feel this at the beginning, as the muscles get more 'primed' you'll be able to feel the connection in them straight away. Try and connect internally to the upper cheeks (mid cheekbones) when you do this exercise and visualise the small lifting contractions there. Visualising the action of the muscle help us connect to it more and it will help with muscle activation and feeling 💆♀🌸
Hi Anjali, I'd suggest looking at your diet, lifestyle, skincare and sleep in the first place, and making some adjustments to see if it improves it, Polina
Wow instant result ....my puffiness reduced to about 70%
