What is the most effective way to slim the face? The face-slimming editor tells you that face-slimming massage can effectively stimulate facial acupoints, reducing facial puffiness, especially the pesky double chin! Come join in the face-slimming massage exercise; these 5 movements will surely transform you into a beautiful small-faced person!
The four major factors of a chubby face
1. Fat: Body fat does not only manifest in the waist and limbs; the face is also the most obvious area. Excessive facial fat, combined with little exercise, can easily lead to a chubby apple face!
2. Facial bone structure: If you are naturally blessed with a “big face” or “large bone structure,” then no matter how thin you get, you cannot become a small-faced beauty.
3. Muscle: Well-developed masseter muscles are also a significant factor contributing to a chubby face.
4. Edema: The most common period for facial swelling is the two days before menstruation. During this time, estrogen levels in the body are abnormally high, causing dysfunction in the lymphatic system, making it difficult for water and toxins to be expelled, resulting in blood vessel dilation and fluid leaking out to remain in the tissues. Of course, if you neglect your diet and indulge in high-salt and spicy foods, swelling can trouble you at any time.
When others see your chubby face, they might say it’s so cute, but baby fat is now out of fashion; a slim oval face is what pretty girls pursue. Below, let’s look at a set of face-slimming massage methods that will help you quickly achieve a slender face.
5 face-slimming massage methods
Meridian stimulation method
Close your eyes and breathe, relax your face, make fists with both hands, place the second knuckles of your fingers on the left and right cheeks, gently press to stimulate the facial muscles and the “exit” for old waste, enhancing the swelling reduction effect from the massage.
Bend your head to one side, place the knuckles behind your ear, and massage down along the sternocleidomastoid muscle to the collarbone.
Cheekbone lifting massage method
Evenly apply massage cream on your face, using the pads of your fingers to push upwards on the cheekbone area. Move slowly and continue the massage for one minute.
Cheekbone tapping massage method
After applying massage cream, use your fingers to rub along the eye sockets, then gently tap the cheekbones with your fingertips, moving outward. When you massage the temples, you’ll feel a refreshing sensation.
Horizontal tightening method
First, wash and dry your hands. Gently place them on your cheeks, moving to the wrinkles of the nasolabial folds and the fine lines around the nostrils. Lightly stretch the skin horizontally for one minute.
Vertical lifting method
First, evenly apply massage cream on your face, then pull down the excess flesh along the cheekbones, simultaneously extending outwards, all the way to the nostrils. Each pull should last 5 seconds to achieve noticeable results, and the entire vertical lifting massage should last for one minute.
