Before you get botox... understanding 11 lines and how to smooth them naturally
11 lines are natural, you’re a beautifully expressive, living human being. Doesn’t mean you love it, I get that.
But before you try to freeze them into place or “prevent them” from getting more prominent- get curious about the deeper meaning behind them, gain awareness and then soften and chill them out naturally!
Seriously you deserve better than Botox. And your body’s sharing some vital info for your overall wellbeing.
Physical and energetic reasons you could be seeing deep 11’s:
- A tight neck and shoulders: this place on your face represents your neck and shoulders and if you’re chronically tense and tight, it can show up on your face.
- Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, trying to “do it all yourself” not asking for help, or delegating when you need to, and then harboring frustration and anger because of it.
- Tech life, staring at screens all day without taking the brakes you need or pacing out your energy output. -Pushing through projects that are frustrating you instead of taking a moment to walk away, reground into your goddess bod, and then coming back to it refreshed.
Just to name a few.
Ways to soften them naturally!
- Facial yoga (gaining control and awareness of these muscles so that they aren’t compulsively furrowing every time you’re looking for your keys in your purse)
- Facial massage and Gua Sha: to relax your facial muscles, smooth out the fascia (connective tissue that holds the expression) stimulates collagen, and elastin! This creates bouncier, healthier and more resilient skin.
- Facial kinesiology taping: works overnight to smooth skin & fascia.
- Taking time for yourself, to breathe into your body, relax your shoulders, stretch and soften your overall being
- Enforcing your boundaries and not pushing yourself past your limits, delegating, letting people help you, and dropping the addiction to the validation you get from doing the most all by yourself…
