A week is long enough to build a rhythm and short enough to stay motivated. This plan uses a few gentle moves a day, about 5 minutes each, with a rest day. You do not need any tools. Your hands are enough.
Before you start
- Wash your hands and relax your face. Use light pressure and slow, controlled movements.
- Stop if anything hurts. Skip any move that feels uncomfortable.
- If you have had injectables or surgery, or have a jaw (TMJ), facial nerve or skin condition, check with your doctor first.
Your week
Day 1: Jawline and neck
Jawline Micro-Scoop, 8 slow reps. Ceiling Kiss, hold 10 seconds, 6 reps.
Day 2: Cheeks
Cheek Apple Sculptor, hold 5 seconds, 10 reps. Air Pocket Transfer, 30 seconds each direction.
Day 3: Eyes
Lower Lid Squeeze, 15 small pulses, then hold 10 seconds. Upper Lid Lift, hold 5 seconds, 8 reps. Never press on the eyeball.
Day 4: Forehead and release
Forehead Anchor, hold 5 seconds, 10 reps, relaxing fully between reps. Finish with a minute of slow, light massage along the brow and temples.
Day 5: The 5-minute mix
One move from each area: jaw, cheeks, eyes and forehead. Follow your first 5-minute face fitness routine.
Day 6: Rest
Muscles need rest days too. If you like, add a gentle face massage with your hands or a tool, see facial massage best practices.
Day 7: Check in
Repeat your favourite moves from the week. Notice how your jaw, brow and neck feel. Did any area feel tense, or any move feel awkward? That tells you where to focus next week.
What to expect
A week will not change your face, and we do not promise visible results. What you can expect is a feel for the moves, more awareness of tension, and a routine you can keep. Consistency and gentle technique matter more than intensity. Read more in does face yoga really work?
