We all know that skincare isn’t just about creams and serums—it’s also about how we care for the muscles beneath our skin. And yes, that includes your nose. As we age, the nose can slightly change shape due to muscle relaxation and loss of collagen. The good news? A few simple face yoga moves can help tone and lift the area naturally.
Why Nose Ageing Happens
Just like other parts of your face, your nose is supported by muscles and skin that can weaken over time. This can cause the tip to droop a little or fine lines to appear around it. While it’s a completely normal part of ageing, face yoga offers a gentle, non-invasive way to help strengthen those muscles and maintain a youthful appearance.
The “Nose Lift” Exercise
This move helps strengthen the muscles at the bridge and tip of your nose, giving it a slightly lifted look.
How to do it:
-
Sit comfortably and relax your face.
-
Smile gently while pressing your index finger lightly on the tip of your nose.
-
Try to push your nose tip upward using your finger while resisting with your nose muscles.
-
Hold for 5 seconds, then relax.
-
Repeat this 10 times.
You’ll feel a small tension in the area—think of it as a mini workout for your nose!
The “Nose Smoother” Technique
This one helps reduce the appearance of fine lines around the nose and improves circulation.
How to do it:
-
Using your index and middle fingers, gently massage the sides of your nose in small circular motions.
-
Move upward toward the bridge, then back down.
-
Repeat for about a minute.
This boosts blood flow, relaxes facial tension, and gives your skin a natural glow.
The “Breathing Boost”
Deep breathing through the nose not only calms your mind but also tones the tiny muscles around it.
Try this:
-
Inhale slowly through your nose for 4 seconds, expanding your chest.
-
Exhale through your nose for 6 seconds.
-
Repeat 10 times.
It’s a simple way to keep both your nose and your mood lifted.
Final Thoughts
Face yoga is all about consistency. Just a few minutes a day can help tone facial muscles, enhance circulation, and keep your features looking fresh and youthful. The best part? You don’t need any tools—just your hands, your breath, and a little patience.
Ageing is natural, but taking care of your face through gentle movement can help you feel more confident in your skin. So the next time you do your skincare routine, try adding these quick nose exercises—you might be surprised by the results!
