Breathing techniques

Most people breathe wrong without even realizing it. Mouth breathing ruins your face and weakens your jawline. It makes your face look longer, softens your features, and even affects your posture.

If you want a sharper, more defined look, you need to breathe through your nose — 24/7.

Why Nose Breathing is Important

✔ Improves facial structure – keeps your jawline strong and midface well-developed. ✔ Prevents a weak chin and long face syndrome – common in chronic mouth-breathers. ✔ Enhances oxygen intake – leads to better focus and energy. ✔ Reduces puffiness – filters and humidifies the air, improving skin and eye area.

How to Fix Your Breathing

1. Keep Your Mouth Shut

Your lips should be sealed at all times unless you’re eating or talking. If your mouth is slightly open when you’re resting, you need to fix it.

2. Breathe Through Your Nose Only

  • Keep your tongue in the correct posture (remember the previous lesson).

  • Breathe slowly and deeply through your nose.

  • If your nose feels blocked, work on clearing it (more on that below).

3. Tape Your Mouth at Night (Optional but Effective)

A lot of people mouth-breathe while sleeping. Mouth tape helps train you to keep your lips sealed. Use medical tape (not regular tape) and place a small strip across your lips before bed.

4. Fix a Blocked Nose

If you struggle with nasal breathing: ✔ Use a saline spray or rinse with a neti pot to clear mucus. ✔ Try breathing exercises (like the Buteyko method described in the video below) to improve nasal airflow. ✔ Stay hydrated — dry sinuses cause congestion.

Make This Automatic

Check yourself throughout the day – If your mouth is open, close it. Breathe through your nose even during workouts. And finally fix sleep breathing – use tape if needed.

This is one of the easiest, high-impact changes you can make.
