A tightened and clear oval of the face, elastic skin without wrinkles and creases, an even radiant tone – who does not dream of looking like this after 30-40 years? Let’s see what you can do yourself at home to get the effect of a face lift.
What is face lifting
Of course, it is unlikely that it will be possible to return a clear oval to the face in one day. But if you act consistently and, most importantly, regularly, you can achieve good results. And it is not at all necessary for this to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon or to do “beauty injections”. The latest achievements of cosmetology and some massage techniques allow you to maintain the skin in excellent condition.
During self-massage and applying the cream, it is important to move clearly along the massage lines.
Surgical
These are radical methods that we will not consider today. Moreover, the fashion for plastic surgery is gradually receding. Today, naturalness is held in high esteem.
Cosmetology
All the achievements of modern cosmetology, from injection programs to procedures using ultrasound and laser devices, are aimed at stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin, rejuvenating the skin and getting rid of wrinkles.
What can be done at home
Regularly caring for your skin at home, you will achieve noticeable results.
To maintain clear facial contours and resist age-related changes, the main thing is to be patient and regularly perform the necessary manipulations. Which?
Do facial exercises.
Perform self-massage.
Use cosmetics suitable for your skin type.
Apply masks with a lifting effect.
The most effective is an integrated approach that combines all these actions.
How to tighten the oval of the face at home
Social networks are full of advice from fitness trainers and cosmetologists of varying degrees of authority. After consulting with experts, we chose two methods.
Self massage
Before embarking on self-massage, we recommend finding a certified face-building fitness trainer, preferably with a medical background. The specialist should conduct several lessons to tell and show how and along which lines one should move in order to tighten the oval of the face at home. The massage algorithm is usually the following.
Skin cleansing. Once a week, this procedure can be supplemented with peeling, that is, exfoliation of the skin. Read more about home peels here.
Applying cosmetic oil or greasy cream for better gliding of fingers.
Stimulation of certain points on the face with the help of various movements: pressure, tapping, patting, stroking.
The direction of movements is along the massage lines from the center of the face to the periphery.
Self-massage takes from 10 to 30 minutes, it all depends on your desire and patience. Exercises are recommended to be carried out 5-6 times a week, taking a break for 1-2 days.
Cosmetic care
Good cosmetic care keeps the skin of the face in good shape.
To care for skin that loses firmness, tone and elasticity, it is necessary to choose an effective cosmetic care. We suggest paying attention to Lancôme lines Rénergie.

Instant face lift at home
Let’s not be deceived: perhaps only masterful make-up with facial contouring and cosmetics with an optical lifting effect give an instant result.
However, you can achieve a fairly quick and relatively stable result with the help of certain exercises and, for example, contrast massage.

Performing these three exercises several times a day, you will quickly notice that the contours of the face have become clearer.
