Hey everyone, i'm pretty sure this is my first post ever so far. I am 20 - but due to not using sunscreen everyday of my life (I have been using it everyday basically now for I'd say 2 years) and smoking (which I'm trying to quit) I noticed a couple of wrinkles on my forehead. I have this massage book, and recently noticed a facial massage that I have been doing. I noticed the wrinkles on my forehead diminished after doing this massage everyday with my moisturizer. So here it is:
1. Start by putting your hands over your face, with your fingers on your forehead and the heels of your hands on your chin. Hold them there for a moment, then very slowly and gently draw them out towards your ears. As they move out, imagine that they dissolving all the tension from your face and drawing it away like magnets.
2. Tilt your head to one side and using the back of your hands, stroke from collarbone to chin one hand following the other. Tilt your head to the left and stroke up the right side of your neck and then repeat on the other side. Stroke firmly to stimulate circulation and help keep your neck looking young.
3. Pinch all along your jawline using your thumbs and knuckles of your index fingers. Start under your chin and work out to your ears. Keep the pinching close to the bone so that you don't stretch the skin.
4.Slap gently under your chin with the back of your hands, using your hands alternately. Excerise the muscles under your chin by keeping your tongue curled back in your mouth while you perform this stimulating movement.
5. Make small circular pressures all over your chin and around your mouth with the index and middle finger of each hand. While you do this, exercise the muslce around your mouth by making a large O a nd holding your lips tightly over your teeth. Then exercise the muscle further by exaggeratedly saying aah, ooh eee, uu to stimulate the circulation and help to prevent little wrinkles from developing around your mouth.
6. Stroke from the corners of your mouth to your ears. Use one hand on each cheek and move them both out together. Then both hands on one side, stroke from your mouth to your ear using the back of your fingers.
7. Stroke up your forehead from the bridge of your nose to your hairline, with one hand following the other. Mold your hands to the shape of your forehead, and close your eyes enjoying this soothing movement.
8. Massage the muscle between your eyebrows to counteract frown lines. Put both index fingers on the bridge of your nose and make short firm strokes, upward first then across, then diagonally.
9. Make circular pressures all over your forehead, working in lines from the bridge of your nose to your temples, to cover the whole forehead up to your hairline. Press firmly but do not drag the skin.
10.Stroke your forehead gently with your fingertips to soothe it after the last stimulating movement. Stroke from the center of your forehead to your temples, and finish by pressing gently on the temples. You can strengthen the jaw muscle by clenching your teeth slightly as you press your temples. Feel the muscle working under your fingers. Then hardly moving the skin, circle slowly and steadily to stimulate the muscle.
11. Stroke in a circle around your eyes with your middle fingers. Stroke firmly from the bridge of your nose out over your eyebrows, press on the temples then glide lightly under your eyes barely touching the skin.
12. Pinch along your eyebrows from the center of the temples with your thumbs and index fingers. Then press into the tiny indentation in the bone under the eyebrows at the bridge of the nose.
13. Relax your eyes by palming. Put the heel of your hands into your eye sockets and hold your hands there for a few seconds, enjoying the blackness. Press gently then slowly glide your hands away.
14. Finish by covering your face w/ your hands and stroking gently out to the sides. This simple nmassage should make your skin look fresher and you will feel revitalized.
Ok, all typed hehe. Sorry there can't be any pictures with the instructions, but I feel like the words are easy enough to follow. I have been trying to do this in the morning and at night and have seen a marked difference in my skin's appearance - though, like I said I don't do the healthiest things all the time. So let me know how it goes for u. Ttyl.
