With the appearance of wrinkles, the life of a woman is filled with the search for that very magic cream that will remove the signs of aging and prolong youth. But do not forget - cosmetic products give only a superficial, and therefore a small effect. More effective is a rejuvenating facial massage, which tightens not only the skin, but also the muscles. Just a few simple movements, five minutes of privacy in front of a mirror and a desire not to grow old - that's all it takes.
Classic rejuvenating massage
Traditionally, rejuvenating massage includes the following exercises.
- On the area near the corners of the lips put four fingers of the left and right hands on both sides respectively. Moving in a spiral we move to the outer corners of the eyes. Exercise is repeated in the opposite direction.
- The same is done, moving from the corners of the lips to the lobes of the ears.
- We carry out similar movements, massaging the middle of the forehead and moving to the temples. Repeat in the opposite direction.
- Movements from the bottom up (not the other way!) Stretch the skin of the face.
- Close your ears with your hands, then rub them, pinch your fingers with your lobes.
- The final exercise is tapping with the pads of the fingers. This "finger" rain is done all over the face.
Attention! Doing a rejuvenating face massage, you can not use force. Movements should be gentle and smooth. The effect of the procedure is manifested only when it is repeated daily.
Japanese anti-aging facial massage
Everyone knows the beauty of the "ageless" eastern faces. The reason for this is not so much a genetic predisposition, but a systematic and comprehensive care for oneself. For Japanese women, for example, facial massage is also an obligatory daily procedure, like brushing your teeth.
Now Japanese self-massage ZOGAN is very popular (literally translated as "creating a face"). Another technique is called Asahi massage. Some beauty salons actively offer such procedures, but the prefix "self-" speaks eloquently that the Japanese massage is designed to rejuvenate the face at home, and it is done without anyone's help.
Features of Japanese massage
Conditionally, all Asahi exercises can be qualified as:
- lymphatic massage - normalizes the lymph flow, improves the nutrition of tissues, stimulates the excretion of toxins and excess fluid;
- rejuvenating facial muscles massage - relaxes muscles, favorably affects the vessels and skin.
The technique of massage ZOGAN is very different from the European one. For example, those wishing to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes, as a rule, use the scheme:
- upper eyelid - circular movements from the inner corner to the outer;
- Lower eyelid - from the outer corner to the inner.
Japanese technique in both cases implies movement from the inner to the outer corner of the eye.
How to do Japanese massage?
The essence of the technique - stroking the skin of the face in the course of the location of the lymph nodes. Movements should be smooth and gentle, strength only harm.
Before the procedure, it is important to thoroughly clean the face. For a rejuvenating massage, you can use regular cosmetic milk. If desired, you can prepare oatmeal milk - flakes "Hercules" tie in a bundle of gauze, wet. During the procedure, the nodule is squeezed into the palm, and the resulting liquid is massaged.
Who does not have a Japanese massage?
Rejuvenating massage ZOGAN can not be done with:
- ENT diseases;
- inflammatory processes on the face;
- poor health;
- diseases of the lymphatic system.
Women with a very thin face should perform a massage less often and adhere to a specially developed technique. Its author is now the late Yukuko Tanaka, who popularized the Japanese anti-aging facial massage. A video clip with one of its master classes can be viewed right here - it will help you to master the simple ZOGAN technique.
Before the procedure begins, it is extremely important to study how the lymph nodes on the face are located (see the picture).
