Lift your cheeks: top 3 exercises for wings and folds of sadness
Nothing betrays age like a floating oval of the face and pronounced nasolabial folds, which form, so to speak, a mournful expression.
At the same time, every woman grieves for the lost elasticity and tightened skin. But you can improve the situation without resorting to cardinal methods – thread lifting and fillers.
Hold the fabric with your fingers and try to smile
Of course, thread lifting is a kind of savior of a floating oval, but it cannot be treated as a simple cosmetic procedure. Here, not only the professionalism of the specialist is important (and this is a doctor with medical education, not a salon or, even worse, a home “expert.” After the procedure, rehabilitation and care are important, but, unfortunately, some girls ignore these moments or simply get tired of following instructions And then sometimes the threads have to be removed.
Use your knuckles to spread the fabrics slightly
And how, in this case, to help the face regain its former freshness and elasticity? First, it is important to remember about prevention – in other words, take care of the skin (and not only the face) from a young age. This applies not only to care and cosmetics, but also to the correct lifestyle in general. For example, a long-term habit of burying your face with your face in pillows will provide you with flews, nasolabials, and even creases and wrinkles. Secondly, you need to calmly relate to age – all of us will grow old anyway, there is no getting away from it. Therefore, you should not run chaotically in a panic around the offices of cosmetologists and try everything rejuvenating. So you can do harm.
Blow out an imaginary candle 20-25 times
To begin with, the emerging flews spoil the so-called triangle of beauty. Over time, with the loss of collagen, it also loses its corners. Goodbye chiseled cheekbones and hello soft flews! Moreover, they can appear at a fairly early age and not necessarily after 35 years. This is due to many reasons: genetic inheritance, excess weight, a tendency to swelling, and even the absence of molars.
So, what kind of salutary methods can you count on?
Lymphatic drainage massage
It will help to lift not only the cheeks, but also, with constant practice, will smooth out the nasolabial folds. The main thing is consistency. Enough for five minutes every morning and evening – and you will forget about the puffiness, the cheeks will stop drooping, the swelling under the eyelids will disappear, the face will become fresh. Bend your arms into fists and use your knuckles to slightly spread your cheeks to the side, slightly lifting the tissues to the outer corners of the eyes. Using your thumb and forefinger (place both hands on the chin line, as if pinching the fabrics a little), work the lower part of the chin – from its middle to the ears. At the end of the massage, pat your cheeks lightly to disperse the blood.
Slightly pinching movements should go through the entire chin line up to the ears.
Posture exercises
Everyone has long known how bad posture, strained neck and curvature of the spine affect the face. For example, some girls notice that they have a pronounced nasolabial on only one side – this may indicate scoliosis, which makes not only the body asymmetrical, but the face. Include in the usual exercise (and if it was not, then start practicing!) The simplest exercise therapy exercises, known since Soviet times. This is a banal “boat”, for example, light push-ups (you can on bent knees), stretch on the horizontal bar (just hang, and not try to pull yourself up – you can only make it worse).
Gymnastics for the face
The three simplest exercises will help restore tone. First, try blowing out an imaginary candle (20-25 repetitions), second, take in some air and inflate your cheeks, and roll the air from side to side – 10 times in each direction. And finally, third – press your index fingers to your cheeks and try to smile through resistance.
