Before moving on to hyaluronic acid injections , you have heard of anti-wrinkle facial massages. Indeed, several techniques exist to obtain results easily with simple facial gymnastics to reproduce. For redesigned features, find out everything there is to know about these massages as well as the Nubiance anti-aging duo as a beauty routine. [BLOCK-ARTICLE-PRODUCT-LIST] Definition of skin aging Originally, the skin has the capacity to renew itself every 28 days. Little by little, this process increases to more than 30 days. The oldest cells accumulate, the sebaceous glands play their role less well, the number of melanocytes responsible for skin pigmentation decreases… The first sign of sagging skin is undoubtedly wrinkles. But the slowdown in the metabolism of skin cells combined with certain external agents, particularly the sun, expresses itself in other ways. The complexion loses its radiance, the skin its elasticity. For their part, hyaluronic acid and collagen become scarce. The tissues of the face slacken. What are the benefits of anti-wrinkle facial massage? The benefits of anti-wrinkle facial massage are: Stimulation of blood circulation : facial massage promotes the expansion and contraction of blood vessels, which causes oxygenation for cell regeneration . Lymphatic drainage : facial massage eliminates toxins accumulated in skin cells, allowing detoxification. Stimulation of collagen production : anti-wrinkle massage activates fibroblasts , the cells responsible for collagen synthesis, which triggers the natural process of skin regeneration . The different anti-wrinkle massage techniques for the face Classic self-massage Self-massage is a gentle practice that uses delicate movements to massage the skin on your face yourself. Its goal is to smooth and relax the muscles of the facial skin without ever irritating it. From the base of the nose to the temples, tap your skin with your fingertips at the level of the orbital bone, located between the underside of the eye and the top of the cheek. Still at the level of the orbital bone, with the back of the first phalanx of your thumbs, always massage your skin from the inside to the outside. Place the phalanges of the index finger under the chin and those of the middle finger above the chin as if you wanted to pinch it. Smooth the skin with your phalanges, from the inside to the outside, keeping your mouth closed. With your index fingers, massage in a zigzag motion , from top to bottom and from left to right to relax all the muscles of the forehead, often used and contracted during the day. Finally, using the palms of your hands, smooth your entire face, from the nose to the extremities to drain toxins. You can do the same on the neck, always from the bottom to the top and outwards. Anti-wrinkle facial yoga Facial yoga is an ancient practice that is increasingly popular for its anti-aging benefits . Unlike cosmetic surgery, facial yoga offers a natural approach to firming and toning skin , reducing wrinkles , and improving the overall health of your face. There are several techniques you can use depending on the area of your face you want to massage. For example, a firm, toned neck can contribute to a more youthful appearance. To strengthen your neck muscles, sit down and gently tilt your head back. Tilt your chin toward the ceiling and hold for a few seconds. Repeat this exercise several times to strengthen your neck muscles and prevent sagging skin . The lion smile is an effective facial yoga pose for toning the cheek and lip muscles, helping to reduce fine lines around the mouth. To practice it, sit comfortably and smile broadly while extending your tongue downward. Hold this expression for a few seconds, then release. Repeat this sequence several times for optimal results. Facial reflexology Facial reflexology , particularly the Kobido method , is known to reduce the effects of aging . The combination of facial reflexology treatment and anti-wrinkle products is beneficial in several ways: Stimulation of collagen production. Attenuation of wrinkles, even expression lines . Tissue oxygenation . Increased blood circulation . Elimination of dead cells . Complexion illumination .
