Facial drainage: step by step to deflate the face –

Body lymphatic drainage is already a well-known treatment and aims to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is the body’s main defense system.

The facial drainage gained attention with the popularization of metal, jade or quartz rollers that help to perform movements on the face. In this region, benefits include:

improve swelling; soften lines of expression; oxygenate the tissues; to relax; help in the prevention and treatment of acne (by stimulating circulation).

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A FACIAL DRAINAGE

According to biomedical, specialist in aesthetic health and Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Ana Clara Brathwaiteit doesn’t take much to insert drainage into the routine.

“It can be done with a moisturizing or anti-aging cream that the patient already uses in her routine.”

HOW FREQUENTLY DO THE FACIAL DRAINAGE

“Drainage can be done every day, preferably in the morning, because it helps to improve swelling when waking up. The important thing is to clean your face with the right soap, apply the cream, drain it starting at the neck and reaching the forehead, ending with the application of sunscreen”, he says.

Facial drainage begins on the neck in the region just above the collarbones.

There, you must make circular movements six to ten times, with your fingertips and slowly and steadily.

Then, it is necessary to drain the lateral region of the neck and the back of the neck, with movements from back to front, as if you were “pushing” the lymph from the entire neck towards the clavicle.

The next step is to drain the chin.

With the index and middle fingers forming a V, fit the center of the V on the sides of the chin and make upward movements (upwards) to the end of the right cheek.

Then do the same on the left side.

To drain the mouth, place the tips of the fingers under the lower lip, sliding the fingers to the base of the chin.

Then make circular movements from the corner of the mouth to the center of the chin.

Then, place your fingers between the base of the nose and the upper lip and contour the mouth with circular movements to the center of the chin;

To drain the cheeks, place four fingers (minus the thumb) below the ears at the end of the jaw and press six to ten times.

Also with the fingertips on the side of the nose, take the lymph to the corner of the ears.

To drain the eye area, place your fingers on the side of the face and slide from the outer corner of the eye to the back of the ears.

Repeat the same movement on the lower and upper eyelid with circular movements.

Finish with the drainage of the forehead with the tips of the fingers centralized near the eyebrows with movements upwards and towards the ears, “pushing” the lymph.

Finally, again stimulate the proximity of the ears and the top of the collarbones.
