#171  - No Injections, No Filler, No Filter: The Truth About Face Yoga and Facial Aging

Is it possible to tone and lift your face without fillers, surgery, or a drawer full of pricey serums? According to face yoga experts—and growing research—it just might be. In this episode of Pretty Well, we’re diving into what face yoga actually is, how it works, and why it’s being called the natural alternative to injectables. I break down the science behind aging skin, fascia, and facial muscle atrophy (it wasn’t going to happen to us, I know), and how regular facial exercises may support lymphatic drainage, collagen production, circulation, and that elusive youthful glow. We’ll also talk about what face yoga can’t fix—and what foundational habits actually make the biggest difference in skin health (great news: it’s not another serum). Plus, I share the underrated clinical pearl I’ve been using on my own skin with surprisingly great results. If you love natural beauty, anti-aging strategies, and simple habits that make a real difference, you’ll love this episode. Tune in—and maybe even snap a few “before” photos. Your cheekbones may thank you later.
