Ageing skin happens to be one of the most discussed problems for women these days. The wrinkles, the pigmentation and the spots seem relentless against a host of creams and treatments. If a treatment proves effective it requires continuation, but again, what can be achieved without persistence? So, if you are the type to persist to achieve younger skin and avoid the side-effects an anti-ageing cream can cause, here is your solution to a younger skin. The following steps can help you maintain your skin and it is absolutely doable on your own.
Step one
The first step is to choose the ingredients you need to use for this treatment. The best thing to use to fight ageing is massage oils. Some of the popular suggestions are the grape seed oil, coconut oil or rosehip seed oil. These can be used individually or in a mixture. For those who have and oily skin, YlangYlang oil can be used. These oils contain antioxidants, moisturizers and vitamins that fight wrinkles and provide elasticity to the skin.
Step two
This would include preparation to start the massage. Wash your face with a cleanser and lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Place a warm towel over the face for some time to warm the skin slightly. Now your skin is ready for the massage.
Step three
The massage follows up in step three. The procedure of this massage is as follows. Follow carefully and watch your skin shed years.
Apply the oil to the first two fingertips of both hands and start at the chin. Rub out and up from the chin all the way to the temples. Then move up to your upper lips, rubbing out and upwards as before. When you have reached the forehead, sweep back downwards. Repeat it.
Place your thumbs at the base of your cheekbones near the nose. Apply as much pressure as you can without hurting yourself. Slowly pull your thumbs upwards towards the temples. Repeat it.
Place the forefingers below the eyebrows on either sides of the nose. Firmly put pressure and pull outwards to the temples in the same pattern as the arc of the brow bows. Repeat it more than 3 times.
Use the knuckles of the index and middle fingers and place them under the chin behind the jawbone. Move the knuckles slowly upwards along the jawline up to the ears. Repeat this step.
Follow this regime 2-3 times a week. If you do not have enough time to follow the whole 5 step process, pick 2 or 3 moves from the procedure. Happy anti-ageing!
