Face Yoga Vs. Botox: Which Is Really Better?

 

Many interesting trends are going viral nationwide nowadays, and we go crazy to try to get the solutions in no time. But it is hard to decide which one is fruitful from the never-ending waterfall of information.

 

And aging is the biggest problem people are having nowadays. With the passage of time, we all get visible lines on our face, wrinkles, shabby skin. It’s natural for our face to lose a number of its youthfulness. We notice our skin becoming more delicate and drier. Our genes mostly restrain when these changes occur. Medically this sort of aging is known as “intrinsic aging”.

We can influence another sort of aging that affects our skin. Our environment and lifestyle choices can cause our skin to age before time. The medical term for this sort of aging is “extrinsic aging.” By taking some precautionary actions, we will slow the consequences that this sort of aging has on our skin. That’s why people tend towards quick solutions; they want to look younger and graceful even in their 70s.

 

Facial yoga is a treatment offered by some skincare experts, in which a “face trainer” provides us with the best face moisturizers and some face exercises to relax and tone our muscles.

 

On the other hand, Botox and other facial fillers like Juvederm or Voluma are a great option if you don’t have the time to sit for multiple, long facial sessions, if you are unable to afford weekly treatments, or if you actually want to see a remarkable difference after only one session.

 

But the question is! Which one is better for you? Which one is good for the skin? And which one is harmful.

 

For all of you who for once considered changing something on your face either naturally or surgically, here may be a must-read. Take a glance and choose which one is for you!
