Wrinkles around the eyes can appear at a very young age. This is affected by improper skin care, nutrition, and lifestyle. This problem worries not only ladies of “Balzac age”, but also girls of 20 years old.
The skin around the eyes is very thin, delicate and sensitive. So-called “crow’s feet” may appear very early in the corners of the eyes and in the lower eyelid area. Proper and timely care, and in particular massage around the eyes, will help prevent the premature formation of wrinkles and tone the skin around the eyes.
Rules for performing a massage around the eyes
Performing a daily massage around the eyes will relieve swelling, prevent the appearance of wrinkles and give the look a more youthful and fresh look.
If you decide to perform a massage yourself, you definitely need to familiarize yourself with the main important points of the procedure:
- Massage against wrinkles around the eyes is performed only on cleansed facial skin. Hands should also be clean.
- Massage movements are performed very carefully and carefully, since the skin around the eyelids is very thin and sensitive.
- Before the massage, the skin around the eyelids should be treated with massage cream or oil. Almond or peach oil is good for this. The massage product is applied with light tapping movements.
- All movements are performed strictly along massage lines: we start moving from the inner corner of the eye to the outer, then from the outer corner along the lower eyelid to the inner.
Lymphatic drainage massage around the eyes
Massage is performed with fingertips
- Lymphatic drainage massage around the eyes is performed with both hands at once. To do this, use the index and middle fingers. We perform 10 circular movements in the temple area at the outer corner of the eyes. We carry out the movement clockwise.
- Using the pads of the same fingers, we perform pinpoint pressure techniques, moving from the temple along the lower eyelid to the nose. We perform this movement 3 times, then move to the upper eyelid, only the movement will be directed from the nose to the temple.
- Use your fingertips to gently press the skin of the lower eyelid for a few seconds, holding your fingers vertically. We repeat the same technique for the upper eyelid.
- Using the edge of the middle finger, we perform a rolling movement along the bone of the lower eyelid, moving from the temple to the nose. We repeat 5 times, then move on to the bone of the upper eyelid, moving from the nose to the temple.
- Using the pad of your middle finger, perform 10 light pressing movements in the area of the outer corner of the eye. We roll along the bone of the lower eyelid and perform 10 pressures at the inner corner of the eye. Then we repeat the circle. We do such circles 10 times.
- As a final movement, perform a light tapping massage with the pads of your fingers, moving from the temple along the lower eyelid to the inner corner of the eye, from it along the upper eyelid to the outer corner of the eye.
- We wash ourselves with cold water.
A properly performed massage around the eyes has a very beneficial effect not only on the quality of the skin, but also relieves many other ailments. If you suffer from headaches, suffer from decreased visual acuity, want to remove swelling and normalize eye pressure, a massage around the eyes is a must.
