Brow Lift

Targets: Brow, corrugator, orbicularis oculiDuration: 60 secondsReps: 10 reps — hold 3 seconds each

A heavy or hooded brow is partly a function of skin laxity and partly a function of how much support the surrounding muscle is giving. The Brow Lift adds light resistance work to the orbicularis oculi — the muscle ring around your eye — to build a bit more lift from underneath.

How to Do It

Put index fingers just under your eyebrows and gently lift. Close your eyes slowly against the resistance, then relax.

Why It Works

Working a muscle against gentle resistance, the same way a physical therapist trains a joint, can improve local muscle tone over weeks of consistent practice.

FAQ

Can face yoga really lift a hooded brow?

It won't replace a surgical brow lift, but consistent resistance training of the surrounding muscle can make a visible difference in how lifted and awake the eye area looks.

Is it safe to do this near my eyes?

Yes — use light pressure only, and always work on clean skin or with a light eye cream to avoid tugging.
