Facial massage - your charm is in your hands

Facial massage is one of the most necessary and important cosmetic facial care procedures, which allows you to look fresh and young every day. In addition, metabolism returns to normal, blood circulation improves, helping the skin breathe. A correctly performed procedure improves lymphatic drainage, which leads to the removal of swelling.

A correctly performed procedure will help get rid of many defects.

Some of the massage techniques are aimed at increasing the tone of the skin and muscles, thereby forming the correct “framework” of a toned face.

Massage of the face and neck prevents the appearance of cosmetic imperfections, slowing down the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.

Types of facial massage: from simple to complex

This cosmetic procedure is divided into several types. Separation occurs according to the principle of exposure to the skin. Let's look at each of them in more detail.

1. Classic facial massage

The easiest to use, but no less effective type of massage. This type is used to prevent skin aging, which significantly improves skin tone. Also, swelling goes away very well. The procedure is recommended for women over 25-30 years of age.

The essence is this: stroking and rubbing the facial muscles with your fingers. All movements are made in the direction of the lymphatic ducts. Duration of the procedure: 5-15 minutes per day.

1. Plastic massage

The technique of plastic facial massage is much more complicated than the previous one. The difficulty is this: the purpose of this massage is to get rid of facial wrinkles. The technique, of course, is much more complicated. Here it is necessary to perform deep pressure on certain points of the face, rubbing, and vibration. The direction of the skin lines must be taken into account. This procedure must be carried out after 35 years. We do not recommend performing plastic massage on your own, as you will not get the result you expect.

1. Jacquet pinch massage

Jacquet's pinch massage was named after the man who discovered this type of massage. The technique is quite simple: you pinch the skin with your thumb and index finger. This type of massage will be very useful for people with problem skin, since when gripping the skin, not only the outer but also the inner layers are activated. Blood microcirculation improves, which helps activate the sebaceous glands.

It is recommended to combine pinching with stroking and rubbing, with a total duration of no more than 20 minutes.

1. LPG

It refers to a hardware type of massage. Using this method, the skin acquires tone and elasticity. You can forget about wrinkles. This type should be used after 25.

The procedure consists of the following actions: high-frequency vibration is carried out together with vacuum, the movement of the plates conducts three-dimensional stimulation.

Before you begin the facial massage technique, it is necessary to carry out preparations that will best prepare your face for the upcoming techniques.

1. Preparing the face

1. Cleanse your face: remove makeup, cleanse your face of dirt and sebum.
2. The face should be completely open: pull all the hair back.
3. Perform all massage techniques with smooth, light movements.
4. The procedure should last no more than 20 minutes.
5. Use cream or olive oil for massage.

Let's move on to the exercises themselves. They will very well relax tense facial muscles, stimulating blood circulation.

1. We begin the massage with light stroking. Light movements are carried out with both hands along the neck, chin, cheeks, slowly moving to the forehead. We proceed to massaging the temples, applying light pressure.
2. We clench our hands into a fist and slowly massage our cheeks, chin and neck with our knuckles.
3. Let's move on to pinching: using your thumb and index finger, gently pinch the skin on your cheeks and chin. This perfectly prevents the appearance of a double chin.

1. Forehead massage

Place your index, middle and ring fingers together, place them in the middle of your forehead and slowly smooth the skin above your eyebrows, towards your temples.

At the end of the massage, perform tapping movements with your index and middle fingers on the forehead, around the eyes, on the cheeks and chin.

You can perform a forehead massage yourself by learning classical techniques

Facial massage with spoons perfectly fights wrinkles, sagging and even cellulite. No special skills required to use. But a few tips and tricks won’t hurt.

1. We begin the procedure by cleansing and moisturizing the skin. You can use creams and essential oils to moisturize.
2. First of all, we get rid of swelling with spoon massage. To do this, you need to cool the spoon very much. Then apply it to the upper eyelid five times. This method will perfectly tighten the skin.
3. Afterwards, apply the spoon to the lower eyelid using the same movements - this will relieve swelling and get rid of dark circles under the eyes.
4. If you want to get rid of wrinkles, use a heated spoon. To do this, heat a spoon and grease it with cream. We apply a spoon to the base of the eyebrows and move slowly in a circular motion towards the temples.
5. Afterwards, use a warm oil spoon to move from the base of the neck to the chin.
6. Let's move on to the nasolabial folds: we move with rotational movements from the lips to the ears.
