• eyes and eyelids;
• nose;
• cheeks;
• lips and chin;
• neckline.

Lymphatic drainage massage

It is carried out along lymphatic drainage massage lines and helps to remove excess fluid from facial tissues. The main stages of massage:

• By rolling movements of the fingers, up and down, they pass along the lateral lines of the neck. The movements are soft, slightly pressing.
• Next, go to the bottom of the face. The same kind of movements pass through the mandibular lymph nodes. The skin is not stretched and not shifted. Finish walking down the side contours of the neck.
• Starting from the auricles with soft, rolling movements, they miss the middle of the cheek and the nasolabial of the face. All movements are directed upward to the lymph nodes. Finish also by walking down the side contours of the neck.

  

• From the area of the ears, moving the fingers smoothly, moving to the lower eyelid. Then they return back to the ears, because, in this zone, the parotid lymph nodes are located. The movements are repeated several times and again pass to the neck.
• The upper eyelid is also treated. From the area of the auricles through the temple, along the bone of the upper eyelid, gradually pass to the inner corner of the eye. The skin is not pulled or squeezed. Finish on the neck.
• Then massage the forehead area. From the ears, with quiet rolling movements of the fingers, they move to the center of the forehead and fall along the lateral lines of the neck.

Japanese Tsogan (Asahi)

Translated from Japanese, the word “Tsogan” means “creating a face.” It is sometimes beautifully called “Asahi”, which means the massage of the “morning sun.” At home, any woman can perform this massage.

Touching the muscles, skin and even bones of the face, it helps smooth wrinkles and make an emergency lift. Regular treatment with Asahi resets the “visual” age of a woman by 10 years.

Japanese massage is associated with the human lymphatic drainage system. Therefore, before the procedure, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the location of the lymph nodes on the face and neck.

Oil, moisturizer or cosmetic milk is applied to clean skin. After the procedure, you must remove this product with a napkin and wash with warm water.

The basis of this technique is extremely slow, planar pressure and sliding.

They are performed with outstretched fingers or the entire surface of the palms. Sometimes use the back surface of the third phalanx bent into a fist palm. During the session, it is recommended to sit or stand, keeping a straight back.

After working on a separate zone, the same final movement is performed. This is a slight pressure on the lymph points near the ears and the subsequent movement of the palms to the collarbones.

Spanish facial massage technique
