What even is face yoga? Are we all just supposed to sit around contorting our faces like we’re Jim Carrey in some ’90s movie to avoid wrinkles? The idea that wiggling your eyebrows and puffing out your cheeks will somehow be the magic bullet against aging is just… wow. Yeah, let’s all pretend we don’t end up looking like a fish out of water while doing it. It’s plastered all over these so-called pro-aging advice columns and really, it’s just another excuse to make us work out every single part of our body—even our stressed-out wrinkles.
People are out here saying this is a natural alternative to Botox. Sure, because spending a small fortune on injectable toxins doesn’t sound half as silly as getting in front of a mirror and contorting your face like you’re having some sort of breakdown. But hey, at least it makes you look ridiculous for free, right? How is this even trending? Oh, right, because everyone’s a wellness guru these days.
Whatever. Keep scrunching and stretching your face if it makes you feel like you’re doing something productive. I’m done.
