How to stay youthful with self-massage of the face

The face of every person is his business card. The better our appearance, the more attractive we are to the interlocutor, which means that we are more disposed to ourselves. And this applies not only to communication with other people. The more attractive image in the mirror, the more confident we feel in society.

Is there a way to prolong youth without anti-aging injections? Face-lifting and face-building trainers have long answered this question. With the help of simple exercises and manipulations, you can reduce the number of wrinkles, tighten the oval of the face, and make the cheekbones more expressive.

However, do not forget that different techniques have a positive effect only if they are practiced systematically and done in an integrated approach to solving a problem.

A comprehensive approach to getting beauty

How to prepare:

Pay attention to food. It is very important to balance the diet. The consequences of malnutrition and alcohol consumption affect the condition of the skin and swelling.
Eliminate lack of sleep. This leads to bags under the eyes.
Moisturize and protect skin. Dry skin ages quickly and is prone to new wrinkles.
Massage regularly.

To make beauty procedures a habit, determine the exact time for them. Set aside fifteen minutes in the morning, after your morning routine, or at night before bed. The skin should be cleaned of makeup, dust or cosmetics. Your hands should also be clean. Do not do a massage in a hurry, take full time only for yourself. Let this be a rest. Use a special oil or cream so as not to stretch the delicate skin and damage the blood vessels.

How to prepare:

Pat your cheeks and forehead with your fingertips to stimulate blood flow.
Stroking gently, move strictly in the direction of the massage lines.
Make vibrating movements with your fingertips. Try to move from the center to the periphery.
Pay special attention to smoothing deep wrinkles. But do not apply force, so as not to lead to injury to the muscles.
Massage your temples in circular motions for 30 seconds.
Stretch the area between the eyebrows with smoothing and pinching movements.
Pay attention to the hairline. Walk along in small circular rotations with very small amplitude.
Smooth out your chin.
With the palms of both hands, stroke from the center of the chin to the auricle clearly along the oval of the face.
End the massage with pats.

Follow this complex and in two weeks you will see the result. When self-massage becomes a habit, expand the list of exercises, add techniques and increase the duration of the procedure.

Face always needs support

It would be a mistake to pay attention only to the facial muscles. The neck plays an important role in supporting our head. And therefore it is important to pay attention to it and work it out well. Lymph flow passes through the neck, which directly affects swelling.

With stroking movements, walk along the entire surface of the neck from top to bottom. Turn your head in different directions, move it up and down. Pull your chin up and stretch the front muscles of your neck.

If there is a problem with double chin, then you should know that this is also due to the incorrect position of the cervical muscles, called the “computer neck”. A simple set of exercises will help reduce the manifestation of the problem.

Beauty hacks

The beauty industry is developing dynamically with the introduction of innovative technologies. There are many gadgets that make life easier. For facial massage, jade rollers and scrapers are popular today, which greatly facilitate the procedure. You can use vacuum massage jars, but it is worth remembering that the smallest size is selected for the face and applied by zones.

In the market of beauty devices, you will also find many different massagers roller, with microneedles, 3-D and others. The use of any of them will positively affect the condition of the skin. For the effect to appear as soon as possible, it is important to perform massage on a regular basis.

How to prepare:

If for some reason we don’t have enough time for a full massage, but we don’t want to neglect the procedure, we can perform a “soapy massage”. The execution technique is similar to the standard procedure, but it is done while washing. This process takes significantly less time and you do not miss a session.

Contraindications

There are some reasons for refraining from the procedure. It is important in no case should you neglect them:

cold or feeling unwell, fever;
skin diseases;
the presence of wounds or inflammation;
fragility of blood vessels;
recovery after deep peeling and other salon procedures.

Incorporate self-massage into your daily self-care routine. After all, we deserve attention and care for our body, and sometimes only we can give it to ourselves. Spend time with benefit and pleasure. Love yourself!
