Facial yoga, or Foga, is something Meghan Markle swears by and given her swoon-worthy jawline, we are sold. Hailed as a non-invasive alternative to Botox surgery, a little bit of clowning and frowning can keep both the wrinkles and needles away from your face. But how exactly do these anti-ageing facial exercises help?

Supposedly, they target the hypodermis or the lower layer of the skin, the dermis or the middle layer and the epidermis or the upper layer. By working all these layers correctly it increases the blood circulation, allowing more oxygen and more nourishment to reach the cells of the skin.

What it results in is a clear, healthy complexion with a beautiful glow which has fewer toxins and has a better ability to absorb moisture. Foga is also designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the middle layer of the skin, leaving one with a smoother and tighter-looking skin.

Apply pressure on the corner of the brows. Look at the ceiling, and raise the lower eyelids upwards to make a strong squint, and then relax. Close your eyes tightly for ten seconds and repeat it six times.

Cheeky Face

Inhale deeply, blow your cheeks and hold the air. Push all the air to one side of the cheek, while flattening out the other cheek. Transfer the air from one cheek to the other. Hold for as long as your cheeks and lungs support you and finally release the breath slowly. Repeat 8 to 10 times.

This tones the cheeks and gives you nice, high cheekbones.
