Facial massage for wrinkles with spoons

Facial skin types

China is considered the birthplace of this massage, where it has been used for many decades, using a specially shaped spoon.
However, there is an opinion that the discoverer of this procedure is Rene Koch, a famous doctor in Germany. This massage is an almost universal remedy for all skin types. It is used:

• to improve the condition of young skin;
• to get rid of facial wrinkles;
• for mature skin after 40 years.

The results of the massage will be noticeable after just a few procedures, as evidenced by numerous reviews from women of different ages. This procedure helps to get rid of age-related problems, thanks to it the skin of the face will be fresh, tightened and rejuvenated.

Since childhood, the famous cosmetologist Rene Koch observed his mother’s behavior during bruises: she applied cutlery to the damaged areas, then the skin smoothed out and excessive pigmentation disappeared. This method later became Dr. Koch's patented technology, and his achievement contributed to personal care procedures.

Natural facial skin tightening with a spoon and changes in the décolleté area have become available. Problem areas with cellulite are treated, the contours of the face become clear, the oval and cheekbones stand out. The long history has preserved the basic technology, which has been improved over time by specialists.

Such self-massage will be effective only if all the above recommendations are followed. As a result, after regular testing you can expect the following:

• Improves complexion
• reduction of reporting,
• turgor and skin tone increase,
• the oval tightens,
• expression lines and age wrinkles disappear,
• your face will look younger.

It is important that this procedure for self-massage of the face is regular.

In these photos it is easy to see the effect of massage with spoons. This improved condition of facial skin is easy to achieve thanks to the circulation of blood and lymph, which undoubtedly has the most positive effect on all metabolic processes in the body and facial muscles.

Carrying out self-massage using spoons will give a noticeable effect. The effect is complex, so a wide variety of facial problems are solved in this way.

The devices are immersed in a cold mixture: water or herbal decoction with ice. This technique works with pigmentation (reduces bruising, constricts blood vessels), improves skin tone, swelling of the eyelids, dark circles under the eyes and near the nose go away. The cold surface relieves irritation and soothes the skin. In the morning, such a massage invigorates and tones. It is important to maintain an average temperature; if the instruments are icy, there is a risk of chilling the nerves and causing herpes.

It is difficult to find a simpler procedure than spoon massage. You can master its techniques at home. To do this, just watch a video with detailed instructions on how to perform the manipulation. True, to perform the procedure you will need to prepare equipment - ordinary tablespoons.

1. Cold technology. To perform it you will need: ice water, a couple of large spoons, heated oil (any vegetable). To maintain the desired water temperature, add a few ice cubes to the container.

2. Hot method. Mandatory set for this type of procedure: warm water, the same oils and a single spoon.

3. The combined method involves alternating the described methods. Accordingly, for such a complex procedure you will have to prepare double equipment.

Of course, it is possible to judge whether massage with spoons of one type or another helps or not only after practical experience. After all, every woman is individual. Therefore, for some ladies, for example, the first option is optimal, while for others a combination of two main methods will help improve their skin condition.

During therapy with hot spoons, the pores are steamed and become susceptible to the effects. The sculpture is created independently: outlines, contour. After dipping into warm water or tincture, check the temperature, smooth out wrinkles in the direction from the bridge of the nose to the temples.

You need to monitor the water temperature and immediately wipe your face dry after the procedure, otherwise the water will quickly cool down and the massage will lose effectiveness.

For the neckline

Often open, these areas require equal care. The neck and décolleté are more voluminous areas; the pattern involves movements from the chin to the ears, then down. The muscles should not be completely relaxed, a little tone is needed, then the skin will be taut, making it easy to work with. In these places you only need warm utensils, it is better to add olive oil.

The structure can naturally change due to active facial expressions, this can be corrected with natural plastic surgery. The movements must be synchronous, both hands work simultaneously. There will be a start at the wings of the nose, then smooth lines smooth out the cheeks. Now we go lower, the area above the lip easily falls, then the corners of the mouth lead to the neck, ears, down to the collarbone.

For an oval face

Facebook building is not a new trend in the beauty industry. But complex facial gymnastics with spoons will become a modern method. The contour is outlined along the jaw, affecting the cheekbones. Circular movements affect the lymph; as a result, the shape and outlines are clear, with smooth transitions.

The problem area worries women who have a sedentary job or a tendency to develop a double chin. Facial massage at home will fix this. Light pressure is applied, then slight stretching from the chin to the ears. Separately, it will be useful to do exercises for this zone, keep your head straight. You can't slouch.

Forehead massage

Zigzag movements combat creases and wrinkles. This procedure includes massage of the eyelids, work with the temples, and lowers blood pressure due to the outflow of lymph. Facial muscles begin to function stronger and support the skin. And from those who were overstrained, the tension is relieved. Thanks to reduced pressure on blood vessels and precise technique, women get rid of the impending eyelid by the end of the course.

The technology will seem difficult for beginners, but after the second session they can safely start using it. Combination therapy is carried out after familiarization with the principles and the body’s reaction. Plates with cold and hot water are placed side by side; you will need four spoons. Each pair in turn is lowered into the container, movements are performed, then this is repeated by another pair, the plate will also be different. This contrast tones the skin and forces the cells to work independently.

With this massage the following effects are noted:

1. First of all, this procedure perfectly enhances lymph flow and blood circulation in the cells.
2. Effectively removes toxins from epidermal cells.
3. Accelerates metabolic processes, resulting in natural rejuvenation.
4. It relaxes well and has a sedative effect, so this type of massage is best done in the evening.

When carrying out such a procedure, it is possible not only to improve the health of the skin and body, but also to restore the nervous system and normalize sleep.

An important point when preparing an anti-aging procedure is the correct tactics in the selection of cosmetics. First, determine your skin type.

There are 3 skin types:

• normal;
• dry;
• fat;
• combined.

Women with normal skin type are suitable for all procedures with any cosmetic products, which cannot be said about representatives of oily and dry skin. For the latter type, the use of nourishing creams is necessary. The main techniques are kneading and rubbing. The best products for this procedure are natural plant oils, such as sea buckthorn, almond, and walnut.

For ladies with oily and combination skin types, the tactic of pinching with two fingers is used. This technique does not require the use of additional funds. The procedure takes 10 minutes.

• Add 2-3 drops of mint, lemon balm, rose, chamomile or lavender essential oil to the base.
• Take a spoon, hold it in hot water, then wipe it dry, dip the convex side into the oil.
• Start circular movements with warm spoons with light pressure along the lines of the facial muscles. Do not stretch the skin around the eyes, just press with the convex side of the device.
• After treating the face, proceed to the neck and décolleté area.

How to do a massage correctly:

1. Place the spoons between your eyebrows, massage into wrinkles, then move them towards your temples until hair grows.
2. Move the spoon from the wings of the nose to the top of the ear, from the chin to the earlobe, massage under the chin, then move to the ear.
3. Start from the bridge of the nose and move along the upper eyelid to the outer corner of the eye, then under the eyes.
4. From the wings of the nose, move to the temples, from the tips of the mouth in the same direction, and from the extreme points of the chin, in circles, also move to the temples.
5. Wrinkles on the neck are removed from the lower part of the neck, following up to the chin.

What does a massage with a warm beauty device provide:

• promotes blood flow to the skin,
• strengthens the upper layers of the epidermis,
• smooths out wrinkles,
• the skin becomes velvety, a blush appears on the face.

Another type of massage that I would like to highlight. This procedure is based on Vedic Old Russian traditions. In ancient times, if someone in the family was sick, they tried to cure him with the help of wooden spoons.

It was believed that wood is the strongest energy element that helps fill a person with a feeling of harmony, vigor and well-being, as well as remove negative energy, something like the evil eye, fears, negative thoughts and other things.

Massage could be performed in two ways:

• through fabric (clothing), which should be natural;
• over the naked body, in this case oil or honey was used.

The technique is quite close to gua shu and Japanese massage with bamboo sticks. Spoons are used for scratching, tapping, pinpoint pressure, and spanking.

Today you can receive a recommendation from a cosmetologist to take an effective course of anti-cellulite massage with wooden spoons. You can read about it in detail in other publications on our blog and watch training videos. One thing can be said, the result will be amazing. The skin will become elastic, smooth, and unlike the palms, there will be no bruises left when patted with a spoon.

How to massage

Before the massage, be sure to disinfect the spoons by wiping them with alcohol or alcohol wipes. The skin of the face should also be cleansed.

Then we lubricate the face with oil or cream in such a way that when passing a spoon over it, the spoon glides easily, and the skin does not move or stretch in any way. Another option is to apply the cream to the spoon itself, and if we are talking about oil, then you can dip the spoon in it.

The entire massage comes down to simple pressure, tapping and stroking with the back of a spoon along the massage lines of the face. The best time for a massage procedure is immediately after waking up. Half an hour in the morning will fly by unnoticed, and the effect will be in just a few days.

Depending on the desired result, a cold or warm spoon is used, which, if necessary, before applying to the face, we will immerse in cold or hot water/decoction. If we put the spoons in hot water, we need to wait a couple of seconds so that they cool down a little. Spoons should be warm, not hot, otherwise we will harm ourselves instead of benefiting ourselves.

Warm spoons do an excellent job with nasolabial folds, wrinkles on the forehead, and crow's feet. However, they should not be applied to the eyes, with the exception of the edges of the eyes, where crow's feet form.

Cold spoons help restore skin turgor, relieve irritation, and remove bags under the eyes.

Facial massage with spoons

Massage with spoons can be done for the whole body, but in this article I will focus in more detail on facial massage.

What do we need to massage our face with spoons? Just a little - 2 spoons (it’s better if they are silver, but if you don’t have them you can get by with regular ones), face and eye cream, 2 containers for water and 20 minutes of free time.

The general procedure is as follows: pour cold water (or put ice) into one container and hot water into the other. The spoons will need to be dipped into these containers. After the spoon is removed, you need to blot it with a napkin.

The cream can be applied directly to the back of the spoon, but it is more convenient to apply it to the face and apply cream or eye gel under the eyes.

One more word of caution: when using a hot spoon, first make sure it is not too hot by touching your wrist.

Always remember that any facial massage can only be done along the main massage lines, and not against them! Read more about this here.

Now I’ll move on to specific recommendations on how to massage your face with spoons.

Basic method

The originality of the method lies in its unusual tools. Chinese massage uses special devices, while Japanese and European methods involve the use of ordinary dessert spoons. With their help, lymphatic drainage massage of the face is performed, nerve endings are stimulated, and the regeneration process is activated.

The massage is carried out at home or in a beauty salon; points that are actively involved in facial movements are worked out. The effect is enhanced by temperature contrast and the addition of care products. Facial massage with silver spoons and essential oils create an amazing combination.

Standard technology is performed using stroking, tapping and pressing movements. They are performed with a medium degree of pressure; it is important to avoid deformation of the dermis and excessive pressure.

1. The procedure begins with the area around the eyes, after several strokes on one side - everything is repeated symmetrically on the other;
2. Then draw lines from top to bottom from the ear, tension is relieved;
3. Next, the bridge of the nose and forehead area are involved, lines extend from the nasolabial folds to the side;
4. Finally they start on the neck and décolleté. The first session will last about five minutes, the next one will increase slightly.

Basic massage complex

The complex technique, even in one session, will help get rid of several problems - dark circles under the eyes, and will also relax the facial muscles and reduce the depth of wrinkles. It is better to perform a cutlery session in the morning.

If you use honey instead of cream, your skin will be saturated with all the beneficial substances that this product contains. Alternating hot and cold appliances will help your skin

• come to life
• nourish yourself with useful ingredients,
• remove swelling,
• improve lymph circulation,
• support the rejuvenating effect.

It is better to massage the eyelids with teaspoons, and the rest of the face with tablespoons.

To perform the honey procedure, use the following oils:

• sesame and almond (for oily epidermis);
• lavender (for sensitive);
• peach, apricot, olive (for dry).

Apply appropriate oil to your face, then apply honey with hot spoons. Release her into honey, then walk along the massage lines.

The following elements can be included in a basic massage complex, easily performed at home.

To relieve puffiness around the eyes.

Apply, gently pressing, a cooled spoon to 5 points around the eyes in the following sequence:

• from the outer corner of the lower eyelid (where crow's feet usually form),
• to the middle of the lower eyelid
• to the inner point of the lower eyelid at the bridge of the nose
• to the inner point of the upper eyelid at the bridge of the nose,
• to the middle of the upper eyelid
• and again to the outer corner of the lower eyelid.

We finish this “bypass” by draining the lymph along the line of the lymph flow - by lightly sliding the spoon from the outer corner of the lower eyelid, then along the ear and neck to the collarbone and to the sides. It is recommended to do this exercise 5-8 times simultaneously on both eyes, but if it is more convenient for you, do it alternately with each eye. If the spoon becomes hot during the massage, cool it by periodically dipping it into a cup of cold water.

We will fight crow's feet with warm spoons: apply them to the places where crow's feet appear and make light circular movements, moving towards the temples. Do this at least 3-5 times. Warm spoons are ideal for massaging the area around the eyes.

To smooth out nasolabial folds, we also arm ourselves with warm spoons. We apply them with light smoothing movements in two main directions:

• from the wings of the nose along the cheeks up to the temples
• from the corners of the mouth to the earlobes.

You can draw a spoon along these lines while drawing small spirals.

Another good trick against nasolabial folds. Puff out your cheeks so that the area of ​​the nasolabial folds is slightly tense, and lightly tap the folds with a spoon from bottom to top and back. This tapping can be done first with warm spoons and then with cold ones. Due to the temperature contrast, the effect will be enhanced.

We smooth out wrinkles on the forehead with warm spoons, making circular or “radial” movements from the bridge of the nose towards the center of the forehead and further to the temples.

To tighten the double chin and make the oval of the face clearer, you need to place a warm spoon under the chin and move it in one of two directions:

• from the middle of the chin to the edge of the chin
• from the middle of the chin to the sides and up

Techniques for performing spoon massage at home

Basic massage movements during the procedure:

• tapping,
• stroking,
• trituration,
• indentation (pressure).

It is important, after one movement is completed, to divert the lymph from the facial area towards the main lymph flow, for example, to the neck and collarbones. To do this, complete each movement towards the ear, then down to the neck and collarbone.

You can choose not only warm or cold massage of the facial skin with spoons, but also a combined one. It is the combination of simultaneous use of heat and cold that will help get rid of excess fluid, thereby improving lymph and blood flow.

Hot technique will get rid of the double chin and tighten the skin in the lower facial area. It will even help cope with facial wrinkles and give the correct oval contour.

A cold spoon will relieve irritation and soothe the skin. After such procedures, skin turgor will increase, bags under the eyes will become less noticeable or disappear completely. All facial lines become more clearly defined.

The best time to do it is in the morning. This is due to the fact that it is in the morning that the skin in the facial area responds best to such a procedure due to the fact that it will function normally during the day. Don't massage too often. Consistency is important here. The course should be completed for 10 sessions, after which you should take a break.

Lymphatic drainage

The best type of spoon massage for correcting the correct oval of the face.

1. In order to speed up lymph flow, take one heated and one cold spoon.
2. Connect them with their edges and apply them to the central part of the chin.
3. Next, in a circular motion, they pass from the lower jaw to the earlobe, and then along the outside of the neck to the collarbone.

The movement must be repeated 3 to 4 times on each side.

In this case, all excess liquid is removed from the facial area by pressing with spoons in the right direction.

This massage can be deeper and more intense, unlike other types.

For puffiness under the eyes

You can eliminate swelling with cold spoons. The massage algorithm is as follows:

1. Using light movements from the inner corner of the eye along the lower eyelid, we move towards the temple.
2. Then it should immediately go down to the earlobe and to the base of the neck.

This movement of spoons along the facial contour also helps remove excess cerebrospinal fluid.

Against forehead wrinkles

A contrasting massage technique or moving heated spoons is perfect. In this case, the facial muscles become less tense, they relax and wrinkles are leveled out.

The movement of the spoons on the skin should be moderately pressing, in a circle from the center of the forehead to the temples. In order to eliminate vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, it is necessary to press on them alternately with a warm or cold spoon.

It is worth noting that the middle facial area of ​​the forehead is quite intensively susceptible to the formation of wrinkles. The skin here is thick, so pressure with spoons can be carried out quite intensely.

In the nasolabial folds

First, you need to stretch the nasolabial muscles and folds - move the spoons in a vertical direction, alternating the sequence.

1. The massage should be performed from the nose to the cheeks or starting from the corner of the mouth, leading a line to the earlobe.
2. When heating the spoon, with puffed out cheeks, you should move in a circular motion along the nasolabial fold from the wing of the nose to the chin and move towards the ear along the lower jaw.

To rejuvenate the skin around the eyes

Use cold spoons to massage the area around the eyes.

• Begin to move the spoons over the skin from the inner corner along the brow ridge to the outer side.
• For crow's feet, alternately apply hot and cold spoons in the corners of the eyes.
• You can also use spoon massage with light circular movements in a clockwise direction around each eye, starting from the bridge of the nose.
• The movements should start from the middle, the pressure should not be too intense in the eye area, since the skin here is especially delicate.

For this massage technique, you can choose teaspoons.

This massage will help get rid of dark circles under the eyes.

Reviews

• Wonderful massage! Nothing complicated. Pleasant to perform and excellent results.
• I suffer from facial swelling. I started doing a decongestant massage every morning before work. The face really became fresher and more beautiful. Before work is the sweetest thing.
• But I was convinced that it was not in vain that it was written about silver spoons. At first I made the most ordinary ones. I didn't notice anything. No, you could just barely see that your face had tightened up. But for this it was necessary to do 10 sessions. I recommended it to a friend. She just has silver spoons. So, her results were noticeable on day 4!

Contraindications

Spoon massage is not recommended for rosacea, ENT diseases, diseases of the lymphatic system, the presence of inflammatory processes and skin damage, when the vessels are located close to the surface of the skin, or in the presence of a large number of spider veins.

Before the session, you should protect yourself and familiarize yourself with the conditions that are prohibitions for the procedure. First of all this:

• Mechanical damage to the skin: you need to wait until scratches or wounds heal;
• Cuperosis and herpes also interfere with obtaining the desired result, as do colds and problems with the organs of the ENT system;
• The lymphatic system must function without interruption, otherwise facial massage with spoons at home can lead to failure and increased blood pressure.

Otherwise, there are no precautions for starting the session; if you feel unwell during the session, a pause is made.

The benefits of massage against wrinkles and its effect

During the massage, some processes begin to occur, which we will try to briefly describe:

• one of the main effects is proper blood circulation and the desire for normal metabolic processes;
• the second and visible effect is skin tone, since after massaging the skin begins to tighten and ceases to be saggy;
• puffiness of the facial skin goes away, which allows you to get a fresher look;
• One of the pleasant bonuses can be getting rid of acne. Sometimes this happens if the rash is caused by small capillaries close to the skin;
• the contours of the face begin to take on a distinct, more collected appearance, which makes the face slimmer;
• relaxation and smoothing of the skin by relieving tension from the skin.

In order for anti-wrinkle massage to be effective at home, it must be performed seriously and regularly. It is regularity that will allow you to achieve results that you can brag about.

Refers to anti-aging techniques. A positive effect is observed due to the acceleration of blood circulation and lymph outflow. As a result, cells are saturated with nutrients and oxygen, renewal processes and collagen synthesis are accelerated. The lymphatic drainage properties of a spoon massage remove fluid from the subcutaneous tissue, relieve swelling, and restore tone.

It is recommended to use the procedures after 40 years, also to prevent the first age-related changes. The technique is used not only for the face, but also for body correction.

Instructions for implementation

For a cosmetic procedure to be beneficial, you need to adhere to basic recommendations. This is one of the few techniques available for home use. The result can be compared with hardware lymphatic drainage massage; the effect will be noticeable after the first sessions.

Rules:

• Used spoons should be kept separate from cutlery. Before and after the procedure, be sure to treat with an antiseptic.
• Silver spoons are considered the best, as this metal has antioxidant properties. You can also massage with regular stainless steel ones.
• In the salon it is performed with 2 or 4 spoons, at home you can use only 2.
• Before the procedure, the skin is cleaned and then finished with the application of a cosmetic product.
• For glide, base oils and essential compositions are used. You can use nourishing cream.
• Before the massage, it is necessary to test the compositions. If burning or irritation occurs, only the basics are used - jojoba, wheat or olive oil.
• Like all techniques, it is performed strictly along massage lines. The pressure is of medium intensity and is self-adjustable. This allows you to avoid vascular trauma by affecting the subcutaneous tissue.
• To solve aesthetic problems, various temperature conditions are used. To relieve puffiness - cold, to smooth out wrinkles, combine the effects of heat and cold.
• The temperature of the applied spoons should be comfortable; burns or, conversely, hypothermia of the tissues are not allowed. Before performing a massage, it is worth testing on the elbow bend.

Stainless steel is also suitable, the main conditions are cleanliness of the instruments and an accurate diagram.

Complex massage technique

An integrated approach helps to get rid of various problems in one procedure - remove dark circles under the eyes, relax muscles, remove wrinkles. Perform massage with silver or regular spoons at home. The morning hours are chosen for the procedure. Spending 10-15 minutes before work will relax your facial muscles and ensure a good mood for the whole day.

The massage technique is simple: stroking, rubbing and patting with a spoon. The procedure is performed with the round part of the cutlery. The spoon technique works like a flat iron, gently stroking and smoothing the skin. Regularity of the procedure ensures smoothing of wrinkles, restoration of elasticity of the epidermis, and restoration of shine to the eyes.

Hot and cold spoon

A warm spoon helps to cope with a double chin, tightens the skin on the neck, and helps get rid of crow's feet around the eyes. Effective for removing facial wrinkles. Useful for the oval of the face, restores the rounded shape, removes jowls.

A cold silver spoon removes irritation, soothes, restores velvety and matte skin. Cold metal restores firmness and elasticity, removes bags under the eyes, and relieves irritation from insect bites.

Instructions

In the video above, it is noticeable that the arsenal of movements within the manipulations is extensive, and the execution technique is simple. There is nothing complicated in the technology for beginners; the main thing is to perform movements in the right direction, along the massage lines.

Movements

• gentle friction;
• pushing;
• circular movements counterclockwise and vice versa.

To perform the procedure at home you will need:

• Dessert or tablespoons, ideally silver, but cupronickel or steel are suitable;
• a bowl of cold water;
• container with warm (50 degrees);
• heated vegetable oil;
• honey or moisturizer.

Instead of water, use cold and hot herbal infusion.

Replace sunflower oil:

• sesame, almond - for oily skin;
• lavender - for sensitive;
• peach, apricot, olive - for dry.

Execution technique

Before starting the procedure, cleanse the skin of cosmetics, dirt and dead cells. Moisturize the face with cream and apply honey. Distribute the honey with a hot spoon - stroke your face along the massage lines. The beneficial substances of honey and moisturizer, with a contrast massage, penetrate deeply into the tissue and improve the result in a short time.

Combined massage with spoons is considered advanced, so before use, it is advisable to learn the basics of the procedure. It is performed with small circular movements using spoons of different temperatures.

Place spoons into cold and hot infusions of medicinal herbs. Before starting the massage, check the temperature of the heated instrument to avoid burns. If everything is in order, proceed to the procedure.

Smooth out nasolabial folds

Perform the exercise on both sides of the face at once. Use two hot spoons in turn, then two cold ones. Small circular movements are carried out from the wings of the nose along the line of the cheek, to the temporal region, without lifting the spoons from the skin. They go down to the collarbone area. When driving away the lymph, spoons are carried out from the ear to the collarbone. The first time they manipulate hot and then cold spoons - 3-4 approaches.

The second exercise is performed using the technology of the first. From the corners of the mouth, move the spoons in a circular motion to the earlobe and again down to the collarbone. Repeat 3-4 times.

Tighten the facial contour

Two spoons of different temperatures are connected together with their convex sides. They are applied to the lower jaw, so that one is at the top and the other is at the bottom. Start from the middle of the chin and move in small circular movements along the jaw to the ear. Lymph is driven from the ear down to the collarbone. Repeat 3-4 times, first on one side of the face, then on the other.
