We'll begin by learning specialized movements based on facial anatomy. It's important to understand how fascia and muscles are layered over the face. For example, when you understand how the muscle that runs from the brow bone up to the forehead is the area to work in order to lift a heavy eye lid, you don't waste your time on movements that won't help.
I'm sharing the following videos because it's often easier and faster to learn by watching than by reading. Watch each video below to learn how to treat each section of your face using Pro techniques.
First Things First - Always Start with the Anma
The Anma is an ergonomically designed gua sha device used to mimic the fingers tips and thumbs in a time-tested technique used prior to any contouring massage to drain lymph and release stuck fascia. It may seem counter-intuitive but you will apply a very light pressure when using the Anma. The pressure applied should not stretch the skin. The goal is to skim the surface of the skin when using the Anma.
Watch this video to learn how to use the Anma in your at-home facial contour massage.
Pro Release Techniques
The following videos demonstrate the techniques needed to release and lift specific areas of the face and neck. Get comfy and follow along with me.
- Frown Lines (Forehead lines)
- Release Cheeks (Lifting cheeks makes nasal labia folds less noticeable.)
- Release Mouth Area (Marionette lines, frowning face)
- Release Jaw Part 1 (Release furrowed brows, crows feet and a pulled down facial expression some call Pain Face.)
- Release Jaw Part 2 (Techniques for inside the mouth.)
- Release Neck Area (Release and lift the neck area)
Using Microcurrent for Facial Toning
Now that you have blood flow going and you've released stuck fascia, it's time to work on the muscle toning.
Microcurrent is the most effective technology for toning. I love the simplicity of the Clareblend Mini Microcurrent. Watch this video to learn the perfect technique called 'Lift and Hold".
Important Note. Some will see a slight immediate lift, while others will require a few to several weeks of consistent treatments to achieve lift. Remember, aging doesn't happen overnight, neither does reversing the signs of aging. Your commitment will pay off - if - you do not give up! Aging gracefully is a ongoing commitment.
