Wrinkles, indistinct facial contours and a tired look – signs of aging are now inherent even in young people. How to bring back smooth skin, crisp lines and an even tone, and look good even without makeup? The rubric editor Natalia Udonova found out that massage according to the method of Frenchwoman Joelle Sioko is capable of this miracle.
Sculptural facial massage is a method developed by Frenchwoman Joelle Sioko. The whole of Paris adores her hands, and recently Joelle visited Moscow and gave a master class, thanks to which a unique technique appeared in the capital.
At the Le Colon Beauty Institute, the only place where you can try massage so far, they said that Joel Sioko’s method is aimed not only at the technique of movements. Much attention is paid to cleansing the skin so that during the massage all the beneficial substances can penetrate inside.
All stages of the procedure are carried out using Joelle Ciocco products created from plant extracts. Cleansing is carried out in two stages: first, surface impurities and makeup are removed with special serums. Then oils are applied to the skin to open the pores and cleanse them as much as possible. Interestingly, after removing the oils, the beautician moistens his fingers with water and begins to tap them on the skin, literally knocking out all the impurities out. This is how it is possible to cleanse the pores as much as possible. It should be noted that each remedy during the procedure is selected individually, based on the type of skin and its problems. So already during cleansing, the skin condition improves.
At the next stage, the cosmetologist applies a conductive agent, these are also special extracts that provide a deep massage effect. And so the massage begins: first, the beautician massages the upper back, neck and face, deeply working out every muscle. Then – the same in the reverse order. The number of repetitions of one movement depends on the problematic condition of the muscles. For example, the chin and nasolabial folds may work longer and harder.
The tension quickly disappears and after a few minutes, despite intense manipulations, the head and whole body finally relax. One can feel how all the muscles of the face, which hitherto “slept”, are being worked out, and this sensation brings a lot of pleasure.
Finally, a half-hour face mask, also tailored to your skin type. At this time, it is a sin not to take a nap, especially since awakening guarantees a pleasant surprise: the skin of the face will look radiant, rested and elastic.
