- Place your palms on your face and then rub from bottom to top, from inside to outside so that your skin can relax before performing the next steps. You should do this step 15-20 times before officially starting to massage each area of the face.
- For the chin, make a circle with your hands and roll back and forth on the lower cheeks, right next to the chin. Do this every day, this will help burn excess fat, reduce wrinkles, and prevent sagging lower cheeks. You can do this 15-20 times each time.
- The skin around the eyes is most prone to wrinkles, so anti-aging facial massage for the eye area is extremely important. Use 2 fingers to place at the corner of the eye and then gradually stroke towards the tail of the eye. Repeat this action 20 times a day to effectively reduce eye wrinkles.
- For the forehead and temples, use the middle fingers of both hands to clasp together and place them in the middle of the forehead, then massage in a spring-like motion from the inside out. Do this 15-20 times a day for the best wrinkle reduction effect.
- For the nose and mouth area, first use your fingers to stroke along the bridge of your nose from top to bottom. Next, use your fingers to massage the area around the nose from top to bottom and from bottom to top. Finally, massage the skin around the mouth from the inside out. Do each movement 10-15 times for best results in reducing wrinkles.
- For the cheek area, you can massage by rubbing your palms together to warm them up, then pressing them along the cheeks, then using these hands to lift the cheek muscles, repeating the movement. After about 5 minutes, continue using your index finger to press into the middle of the cheek. If you do this repeatedly every day, it will help create neat cheek lines, reduce wrinkles without sagging over time.
2. What is the best time to massage?
Massage is best done in the morning while you are still in bed. At this time, you should stretch and massage as a way to warm up the energy circulation and warm up the body. This is especially good when you have to wake up early. Avoid massage in the evening, because massage makes the nerves feel excited, which can cause difficulty sleeping.
If you are worried about oily skin, you should use a towel to wipe it off and then massage. Do not massage after washing your face, it will be difficult to do because your skin is quite dry at this time.
Many people have the habit of washing their face with warm water in the morning, which helps blood circulation and also washes away overnight creams, but if you do facial massage early in the morning, you can skip this step. The effect and benefits are equally good.
For areas of skin that are red or swollen, do not massage the area but wait until the acne is stable.
When performing massage movements, you should keep your mind and mood as comfortable as possible, combined with deep and gentle breathing to create the best effect for your massage process.
In addition to massage, you can combine some ingredients such as coconut oil or fresh milk, honey... However, each different skin type will have different suitable ingredients, so before you want to combine it with any ingredients, you should consult a dermatologist.
Massage does not bring immediate results. So be patient, you will definitely see the great effect that this method brings in reducing wrinkles and anti-aging.
