How to look 7 years younger with the help of Korugi Japanese facial massage

With age, the skin on the face stretches, and not just because the facial muscles are weakened or the production of collagen and elastin is reduced. Another cause of aging is displacement of the facial bones. The contour of the face is less defined, the cheeks and chin drop. To combat this problem, the Japanese Chiyo Hayash developed a facial massage technique designed to restore the location of the bones in the skull and thus improve microcirculation in the tissues. The system was called Korugi.

O awesome.club discovered how to properly perform this type of massage and we look forward to sharing it with you.

Over the years, muscle tone decreases and fat is redistributed (during youth it forms a fairly even layer, while in old age it accumulates in specific areas).

Before starting the procedures, it is necessary to have a mirror and massage oil at hand. This will help you to monitor the correct execution of the movements and thus avoid excessive friction. The skin must be clean for the process.

This practice is prohibited if you suffer from diseases specific to the area of ​​ENT, lymphatic system disorders, chronic skin pathologies or facial injuries.

The pressure that will be exerted on the face must not be too weak, nor too strong, to avoid pain.

The Korugi massage contributes to the thinning of the face.
