Just saw this....soo excited to do! My face is pretty good but those down drooping corners I just really really hate and make me so self conscious 😮 I'm such a happy person...not fair
I can smile again! Thank you for the great excercises. The muscles in my face were becoming very tight and I was having difficulty smiling. I look completely different after doing your exercises just twice.❤
I feel like the most important stretch for my RBF is the one where you tilt your head back. And I really worked that stretch. I turn my head side to side while pulling down and massaging the muscles down the front of my neck, chin and chest.
Absolutely! The tension in the neck contributes greatly to added tension in the face so by releasing the neck muscles you are able to relax the tightness around the mouth corners and lower face will feel and look more balanced 😍
I understand this long time ago, that's why i am never "afraid" of grumpy looking people. I have a friend with the nicest most natural smiley face, yet she is full of negativities and even mild depression. I don't have a happy look though not sad, yet I am very content and easy
So true. I do believe I adapted "Rest Bitch Face" do to feeling so angry and depressed. Now I wanna match my facial expression with my energy now. 😊 I feel lighter and joyful.
@@kachizz28 I'll continue to work on it. All you need to is patice loosening up your eyebrows, lips: constantly frowning. Soon you'll be able to feel the different between tension and relaxing. Always smile; practice. Many people don't tell my I got angry face no more.
Hi Polina, thanks for the great video. My question, do you have a video or technique for asymmetrical mouth corners? I’m struggling to get my right mouth corner to lift as high as my left mouth corner.
Thanks for your question 🌸 I do have a video on the mouth corner lift which addresses asymmetry to some extent, you might like to take a look in the Mouth/Lips Section💆♀
Love your videos can you do any on the nose muscles to keep it from getting wider and for droopy nose tips.... because as we age that slowly changes as well and your is so nice and shaped 😊 like your face if you can would be so appropriated
Glad you're enjoying the videos 🌸💆♀thank you for your good suggestion regarding the nose slimming video, I'll add this to my filming schedule and hopefully will be able to post it soon, stay tuned ! 😀
Unbelievable! Exercises for correcting RBF! (I've never heard of 'resting unhappy face' or 'resting sad face' ... 'resting b*tch face' is, however, very commonly used.)
Whichever way you call it, it's essentially still downturned mouth corners, something that can be corrected with proper face posture and a better state of mind. Polina
Firstly I really enjoy your videos and find them helpful so thank you! However I have a question - in this and other videos there is an exercise involving making the mouth into an "O" shape. I have vertical lines along my top lip and am concerned that this shape is making the lines deeper. I am not able to make this shape without the existing lines on the top lip becoming more pronounced. Does doing this exercise deepen lines around the mouth?
Hi Lynette, and thanks for your feedback 🌸 your question is a good one ! when making the o shape, we try to not over-engage and pull into the existing lip lines. We also don’t stay in o shape for that long as the main exercise is to pull the mouth corners up and back to neutral and when you do this you should be feeling more flatness and tone around the top and bottom lip, rather then gathering into lines. I would recommend you try to make the o shape more flat (use mirror to observe) so that it’s not too tight leading to puckered lips , which hopefully will allow for smoother upper lip before mouth corners move up. Hope this helps!Polina
can u please do one for eyebrows. Cause i have a rbf and its in my brows cause i cant keep raising my brows all day and people think im rude and avoid me
Thanks for your comments. If your eyebrows are constantly raised, it means the forehead is in constant tension plus eye muscles are weak, so doing a video for the forehead (release tension) and eyes (strengthen the eye muscles) will help address the problem. See the forehead section on my channel 🌸💆♀
@@Rajyadav75256 Could you please describe exactly where the anger is shown in the face? How does it make your face feel and which zones on the face? What do they look like? Just trying to understand 🌷
Hi Polina! Since I started looking in the mirror more closely (whilst doing your great exercises), I've noticed that one side of my face droops more than the other-in my mouth and eye corners. I am 54 and due to a hysterectomy, my skin went from youthful to deflated. I hate it. Is this one-sidedness normal or not? I CAN move that side-it is not paralyzed or anything. But seems weaker. Thx! Erika
Thanks for your comments and feedback Erika🌸 I'm so glad you're doing the videos on my channel!💆♀ The droopy side of the face could be due to muscle weakness or tension in the other side of the face (the less droopy one), it is normal just in the same way we have one side of the body more open and flexible than the other side, for example. I would recommend including tension release in your daily workouts (I have couple on my channel) and working both sides of the face evenly - over time the face should balance itself and even out. Hope this helps! 🌷
Hi i just started doing these today because my teacher said to me u look tense and sad i was like I'm perfectly fine and its just my testing face .It took a while for me to discover but all people think like that because my resting face and bec.of tensed musles im facing difficulty with smiling and relaxing my face in normal ways.
Me too I have been through very similar situations so I am happy and relieved but some ask me why are you angry or sad and I am not angry or sad and it took me a long time until I discovered this thing and I sent a lot until finally I was able to find a case similar to mine and I found a solution to it😢
Thanks for submitting a comment. The way our farce looks depends also on our emotional state, so when you’re feeling sad the face will likely to reflect that. It may have nothing to do with the downturn mouth corners and more with your emotions. I hope you find a way to address the sadness to feel happier in yourself and your face will reflect this and hopefully will settle into a more happier appearance. Hope this helps. Polina
@@mygachamultiverse347 If your face needs strengthening, please follow along with this video and it should help. Also, cultivate more happiness in your life in addition to that as much as you can!
I know everyone is different but do you have an estimate on how long to see a difference? I will definitely be doing this as my permafrown affects the way I interact with everyone.
Hi Tess, it’s really individual as you say, but with regular routine of doing the exercises 6 times a week for 4 weeks you should start seeing improvements in the face posture and more strength in the cheek and mouth muscles. Consistency is everything with Face Yoga! Hope this helps. Polina
Thanks for sharing your concern. It might be possible to fill out the sunken temples with some targeted exercises. Keep an eye on my channel for a new video coming soon on precisely this subject ! Polina
I have been doing these exercises 5-6 times a week. Today is the 26th, so it’s about 2 and a half weeks. I do feel the muscles a bit stronger and I am more aware of my expression and fix my resting face consciously, haven’t seen lots of changes since I see my face every day. But I’m waiting if anyone comments on them, then I would be sure it worked haha
@@andreaguerrerovallejo7026 Excellent work Andrea, 2.5 weeks progress is a very good start, and glad to hear you feel the muscles strengthening. It’s always nice when someone you haven’t seen for a while comments on your more lifted appearance! Hopefully such day does come soon enough. Polina
Thank you for your comment🌸 once you've done the video couple of times, you'll remember the exercises so won't need to hear me talk😅 but instead can just do the techniques you memorised and benefit from them 😀
@@ElementalFaceYogawithPolina Well done to you for achieving such amazing results from face yoga. I'm your new subscribers. Your forehead muscles remain still, which is so good as it prevents lines and wrinkles. Do you intentionally avoid using some muscles of facial expressions? Plz guide.

YOU'RE VERY FINE

Your videos are better and better. Somehow they communicate to my top vertebrae responsible for the problems with my face and chacra imbalance.
I appreciate your comments Dana, and I’m happy the videos help you find balance not just in the face but also in the chakra alignment:) Polina
Thank you very much
I'm tired of being unapproachable or looking "ugly" for my resting birch face. Hope this helps
