Face Yoga Techniques To Practice For A Sculpted Visage Before Your Wedding
Internet’s favourite face-sculpting strategy might just be what you need to sculpt, glow, and firm your face ahead of the big day.
You may have seen endless Reels with many holding a Gua Sha to sculpt and reduce puffiness. And if you are worried about needles and injectables, there is nothing better than face yoga. It is a more holistic approach to face sculpting than fillers and injectables. And with late nights, endless planning, and emotional highs, the face often shows it all.
With my knowledge, I want every bride to not just look beautiful but feel powerful in her skin. These rituals are not just skincare, they’re a celebration of self-love and confidence.
