Smoothing out wrinkles with a spoon

This rather interesting and original massage technique was developed by German cosmetologist Rene Koch. It is based on a fairly simple but effective way to get rid of bruises - applying an ordinary cold spoon, which his mother used. Koch expanded this method to the boundaries of massage practice, which quickly gained popularity in the world. One of the ardent fans of this technique is Benita Cantieni, a cosmetologist and author of facial gymnastics “Faceforming,” who recommends combining a spoon massage from Rene Koch with her own development to greatly enhance the effect.

For massage you need to get spoons of different sizes: coffee, tea, regular dining room, for ice cream, salads. Also for each session you will need a terry towel, hot water - 1 glass, cold water or finely crushed ice - 1 glass, any base oil and essential oil (select according to skin type), a table lamp and color film.

Why do we need multi-colored light?

Color therapy by Rene Koch

Color therapy, as an effective method of healing the soul and body, came to us from ancient times. Many healers claimed that various ailments in people are a consequence of a lack or excess of one color or another in the body. To bring a person’s well-being back to normal, it is enough to simply restore the color balance. This is achieved by irradiating the patient with a lamp of the required color.

The combination of massage + color therapy gives a fantastic effect. The color must be selected depending on the desired result and the spoons should be irradiated with them before the massage. So, yellow will help remove swelling on the eyelids, and red will help to restore warmth to cold feet.

You can irradiate spoons like this: put colored films on them and direct the light of a table lamp onto them.

Now let’s talk about the effects of color on the body:

1. Red – activates energy flow, improves immunity, and has a warming effect.
2. Orange – enhances sexual attractiveness, warms.
3. Yellow – improves mood, warms, has an exciting effect.
4. Green color – relaxes and calms, brings the soul and body to harmony.
5. Blue (turquoise) – imparts optimism.
6. Blue – gives a feeling of calm, security, pleasure, causes joy.
7. Purple – helps with stress, calms.
8. Pink – relieves feelings of fear and anxiety.

Massage technique

Spoon massage must be performed with soft stroking movements or with light pressure on the massaged area, followed by



rotational movements. Do not press or hit the skin with force!

The goal is to stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluid and eliminate lymphatic plugs in tissues. By massaging areas of the skin with spoons, you can get the so-called lymphatic drainage effect. To stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluid, you need to massage towards the center from the periphery.

For greater effect, you can use various massage oils or mixtures of essential oils. Regular use of massage with oils helps tighten facial skin, smooth out wrinkles, and improve skin color.
The advantage of massage with spoons is that it is easy to perform independently and thus control the degree of pressure, which allows you to avoid injuries and bruises.

Exercise 1 - smooth out wrinkles between eyebrows

Take two tea (coffee) spoons. Dip one into a cup of cold water, the other with hot water and, quickly blotting them with a towel, lubricate the convex side with a mixture of oils or a special cream. Place a cold spoon on the base of the nose for a few seconds, lightly pressing this point several times. Then move the spoon up onto your forehead.

The same procedure is carried out with a hot spoon.

Caution: first check the degree of heating on your hand so as not to burn your facial skin.

Repeat the exercise three times, changing heat to cold. While you are working with one spoon, the second can be heated or cooled, depending on what is needed at the next stage.

Exercise 2 – smooth out wrinkles on the forehead

Repeat twice.

Reheat the spoons, dry them and grease them. Then place your right hand with a spoon on the left temple, make three rotational movements, move across the forehead to the right temple and there again perform rotational movements.

Do the same with another spoon, taking it in your left hand and placing it on your right temple: rotational movements - along the forehead to the left temple - rotational movements.

Greetings to all readers of my blog. The mood today, to be honest, is not very good. And all because I noticed wrinkles on my face. It is clear that the process is inevitable, but is there really nothing to be done? But there is a way out. This is a facial massage with spoons, the reviews and results on the Internet are very positive. Let's find out how to make it at home and which devices are best suited.

There are 57 muscles under the skin of our face. Not all of them are involved. Those who are unemployed become weaker over time.

This is how the corners of our lips droop, our cheeks and eyelids sag. Facial massage with spoons tones our muscles. This means it tightens the contour of the face and smoothes out wrinkles.

The German cosmetologist Rene Koch was the first to suggest using spoons for facial massage. The cosmetic procedure is carried out using two spoons. And also two glasses - with hot and cold water. Use spoons at different temperatures to warm up the facial muscles. This leads to improved skin nutrition and drainage of excess lymph.

Features of the technique

It is optimal to carry out the procedure daily, immediately after washing. You can heat and cool spoons under running water. The manipulation techniques are different: tapping, stroking, pressing. The main thing is without fanaticism.

Puffiness, dark circles under the eyes, and soothe irritated skin will help cold spoons

Get rid of facial wrinkles, tighten the contour, skin on the neck - heated spoons

They can be heated up to 50˚C. Cutlery should not burn your face. The massage should be comfortable.

Before you begin the procedure itself, you need to do the following:

1. Cutlery for massage should be disinfected before each session. It is better to store them separately from other dishes.
2. Before the session, you need to clean your face and wash your hands.
3. Apply cream or oil so that the spoons glide smoothly over the skin. During a cosmetic procedure, the skin should not be stretched.
4. Cutlery should only slide along the massage lines of the face.
5. You need to press lightly on the skin, you don’t need to press hard. This will avoid bruising and vascular injury.

As for the frequency of sessions, it all depends on the goals. If there is swelling, you can do it daily, in the morning, for 5 minutes. If the goal is to tighten the contour and remove fine wrinkles, a course of 10-15 sessions. In this case, the procedure will be longer

It is good to use different lifting gels and creams during manipulations. After the procedure, apply nourishing cream. Along the way, the vitamin complex will not harm. After the course they take a break. Its duration depends on the condition of the skin. If you are not satisfied with something, the course is repeated.

This type of cosmetic procedure has contraindications. It should not be done if there are rashes and inflammations on the skin. If you don't feel well. Inflamed lymph nodes are also a contraindication. Avoid places with spider veins; you cannot massage them. If you have diseases of the nasopharynx, it is also better not to do the procedure.

What tools are best to use?

Many people are interested in what spoons can be used for manipulation? Silver cutlery is preferable. Silver is an antiseptic and antioxidant. It helps nutrients penetrate deep into the skin. This improves her nutrition. If you don’t have such spoons, stainless steel or plastic will do. Appliances can be cold, warm or room temperature. It is advisable to put ice in a cup of cold water. The second should have hot water.

The sizes of cutlery are selected individually. Start with a teaspoon, try a dessert spoon, then a tablespoon. You yourself will understand which of them is more convenient to use.

In terms of time, it’s better in the morning. This will relieve puffiness and tone the skin. If you don’t have time in the morning, you can do it before bed. But no later than 2 hours before you go to bed. Otherwise you may get swelling.

I subscribed to her video lessons and do the exercises in the morning. Just 15 minutes a day. It's worth a lot. Now I began to understand the blood flow through the lymph nodes. How to do it better and more correctly.

Facial massage with spoons is a rejuvenating procedure that is receiving positive reviews for its stunning results in improving skin health. This technique was known to our grandmothers. Today it can compete with salon procedures, since the rejuvenating effect is achieved easily and without additional costs. Anyone can do a massage at home.

The principle of operation of this method

The essence of the procedure is to stimulate the nerve endings in the skin by stroking, tapping and massaging the face with spoons. This leads to smoothing out wrinkles and improving the color and condition of the skin.

To perform facial massage with spoons at home, it is best to use silver or cupronickel silver cutlery. But if there are none, then you can use steel ones.

To achieve the desired result, spoons of different temperatures are used - cold and warm. This contrast has a positive effect on the epidermis and stimulates the smoothing of wrinkles, increasing skin elasticity and relieving inflammation. In addition, during such massage sessions you can use cosmetic plant or essential oils, anti-aging creams and emulsions. Thanks to such massage procedures, the skin becomes more receptive to cosmetic products, and the smoothing effect is visible faster.

Technique of the procedure

The technology of massage with spoons is very simple and accessible even for beginners. Therefore, it receives rave reviews and is often used at home. The essence of the procedure is to apply the back of two dessert or tablespoons to the skin.

To ensure that cutlery is at the required temperature, use containers with water or herbal decoctions. In one of them the water should be cold, in the other - warm. Please note that if the water or herbal infusion is very cold, it can be beneficial, but a hot liquid can cause the spoon to become overheated and, as a result, cause burns.

So, while each spoon is immersed in its own container of water, cleanse your face with a cleanser. Then you should apply a cosmetic product, unrefined vegetable oil or honey to your face.

After a couple of minutes you can begin manipulations. We begin facial massage with spoons with a warm spoon, after wetting it with a napkin or towel. We go through the massage lines step by step:

1. massage the forehead from the bridge of the nose to the hairline, then in a circular motion from the center to the temples;
2. both the upper and lower eyelids are worked in circular movements slightly upward and to the sides, towards the temples;
3. cheek massage is done with stroking movements from the bridge of the nose to the ears, then from the corners of the lips in the same direction;
4. The chin is massaged by pressing with a spoon in the direction of the mouth, and then in a circular motion towards the temples.

Each action must be repeated 4-5 times with warm spoons, and then the same number with cold spoons. Such sessions should be carried out daily, preferably in the morning. It's easy and only takes 10-15 minutes, and the results will exceed all expectations.

Such home treatments successfully fight wrinkles around the eyes, on the forehead and cheeks, tighten the shape of the face and eliminate other signs of skin aging. That is why this type of anti-aging therapy is gaining more and more followers.
