The Asian massage that helps tighten the skin in 2 weeks

The youth and beauty of our skin largely depend on correct blood circulation. A facial massage that accelerates blood and lymph and removes excess fluid can visibly tighten wrinkles and improve appearance. And this can be done with the help of a few simple spoons. “Spoon massage” is popular in Japan, Korea and China, and for some time this technique is also being adopted in European countries: for example, it is promoted by the German cosmetologist René Koch.

There are many “spoon massage” techniques. O awesome.club selected the most popular and effective facial exercises. You can see the changes after 2 weeks of daily running.

Small spoons (tea or dessert). In Asia, ceramic or porcelain spoons are often used, which have a special shape to achieve more pleasant sensations and more precise pressure. But ordinary metal spoons will do very well, the important thing is that they do not have sharp edges or tips. Neutral oil, which does not generate an allergic reaction (eg coconut oil) or face cream. The cream can be applied before the massage, and the liquid oil will serve to dip the spoons as needed. The cream option is more comfortable and takes less time. Cold and hot water. You can add an infusion of herbs (the alternation of hot and cold spoons stimulates blood circulation and nerve endings very well, giving the skin tone).

Spoons should be cleaned with an antiseptic and stored separately. The face must be cleansed before the massage. Apply a sufficient amount of oil or cream for a comfortable glide (avoiding the eye area). Control pressure to avoid blood vessel injury or bruising. The best time for a massage is in the morning. Control the temperature: the hot spoons must feel comfortable to the skin so as not to burn it.

Remove bags under the eyes

Apply the cold spoons from the convex side to the under-eye area and slide them right and left, up and down. If cream is applied under the eyes, the movements may be more intense. The duration of the procedure is 1 to 2 minutes.

Press the heated spoons convex into the corners of your mouth, holding them vertically. Slide the spoons onto the earlobes with circular or undulating motions across the cheek area. Then, heat the spoons again, place them in the starting position and open your mouth in a light smile, as if making the sound “e”. Slide the spoons in a circular motion towards the area under the earlobes. Repeat for 5 or 6 times.
