Face yoga - is it a con?

I keep on getting targeted ads for "Luvly" (no doubt editing this post will not help matters) which claims that if I use its app to do face yoga I will be able to get rid of my turkey neck / double chin etc.

99% of my brain says their before and after photos are total bullshit and it's absolutely a con.

1% really wants to get rid of my double chin though 😂

I accept that exercising face muscles must help in some way but I doubt it could create the effect they claim.

Thoughts?

There’s a load of free YouTube videos on this. I got in to gua sua and my research suggests it works for only as long as you keep it up. I found it relaxing but hard to keep up.

Ok thanks I'll do some searching. Just wondered if anyone had personal experience of seeing a noticeable difference too

I’ve wondered too. Only thing I’ve read is it can also cause lines/wrinkles.

Looks up Pilates by Lisa on you tube and do the video with her in a black top. Works

I’ve done it for years for my jawline & jowls and it definitely works. It makes sense - your muscles grow with exercise everywhere else so why not your face? My facial muscles are definitely stronger now and give my face more definition. I used to do it by reading a book by Eva Fraser but more recently follow this:

The women in my family have jowls, so I started Eva Fraser years ago. I'm 53 and have no signs of them yet....

Don't laugh, but I tried some face exercises wear you pull and push around the month, I have the problem of a down turned month, well I obviously done it wrong, I ended up with two lovely bruises around my mouth, not doing that again.

Oh dear @lindyloo57 !

Thank you @hollyandivyknickers @Solonomi and @Mercurial123 I have looked at those suggestions. Interesting! I will give it a go. I realised I actually do some of these things naturally anyway but not routinely.
