The Facelift Massage

Sagging jowls is a sure indicator that the aging process is taking place. This sagging is due to the jaw line becoming less firm, which in turn causes the skin to droop. When jowls begin to sag it causes the shape of the face to change and over time makes you look older. This is why people get a facelift. Although getting sagging jowls is a natural part of aging, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t something that can’t be done about it. One remedy for that unsightly sagging jaw line is a good old fashioned natural facelift massage. Massage has been used for centuries as an anti aging technique and works as a natural facelift to combat sagging jowls. Here is a fast and easy, 2 minute massage routine that will naturally reduce and even eliminate your sagging jowls. Do this twice a day.


Choose A Massage Oil

The first thing you need to do before your start your facelift massage is choose a good massage oil. Make sure you choose an oil that won’t irritate your skin or cause any breakouts. The oil will ensure that you are actually massaging your sagging jowls and not just pulling the skin.


Massage In Circles

Make sure your face has been thoroughly cleaned before beginning the massage process. After choosing your massage oil, generously apply it to your sagging jowls. Use the back of your wrists to firmly massage your jowls along the jaw line and in the cheek area in a circular motion for one minute. Using the back or your wrists allows you to apply the right amount of pressure in order for the facelift massage to be most effective.

Massage Up

Once you’ve massaged in circles then you need to massage using an upward motion. Place the back of both wrists at the bottom of the chin. Firmly move up through the cheeks, under the eye, out to the temples and then down the side of your face just in front of the ears down to the collarbone. The path along the side of the face that is just in front of the ears and leads down to the collarbone is the lymph path. By following this path you are ridding your face of waste and toxins that have built up in your sagging jowls. Repeat this process 3 times.

If you use this facelift massage routine twice a day you will start to see your sagging jowls disappear and begin to look noticeably younger. This massage is a great natural alternative to the traditional face lift.

Natural Facelift: Lift Sagging Jowls

Lift Your Sagging Jowls

One of the biggest indicators of one’s age is sagging jowls. Sagging facial skin is an unattractive and obvious sign that a person is getting older and often prompts some to get a facelift. When you look at a person that is 20 years old versus a person that is 60 years old, you will more than likely see that the 60 year old has excess skin in the jowl area. This is a major contributor in making that person look older. At what age your jowls begin to sag depends largely on genetics, your facial muscles and skin type. The good thing is sagging jowls can be corrected with just a few simple facial exercises, massages and adjustments in your sleeping position. There really is no need for a facelift. Here are some natural remedies to help lift those unsightly, unattractive sagging jowls.


The “Vowel” Face Exercise

The popular vowel exercise, although shunned upon by some and taken lightly by others, does work. Say the vowels sounds of a,e,i,o,u. The key to making this exercise effective is to overemphasize and exaggerate the movement of your mouth in order to work your facial muscles. After going through the vowels 4-5 times you will feel the tension and tightness in your cheeks and neck. This is an indication that the muscles are being strengthened.

Wrist Facial Massage

Another good remedy for sagging jowls is a facelift massage using the back of your wrist just below the palm of your hands. The Chinese believe that wrinkles and sagging skin are due to stagnant qui or chi. It is believed that massaging sagging jowls will release the chi or natural life force back into your skin and reverse sagging and wrinkles, thus producing a natural facelift. Before you start, get a good massage oil that is safe to use on your face without harming it or causing any break outs. The oil will make sure you are massaging your face and not just pulling your skin. You want to make sure you use the back of your wrist in a circular motion along the jaw line and in the cheek area. Do this for about 3-4 minutes.

Sleep on Your Back

Most people feel more comfortable sleeping on their sides often in the fetal position. Although this may be comfortable, in the long run you will notice that the side of your face that you sleep on the most probably has slightly more sagging and wrinkles. That is because over time, the smashing of your face even on a soft pillow, will start to leave lines and wrinkles and add to the appearance of your sagging jowls. Whenever possible, sleep on your back. This simple and natural facelift remedy will help to reduce the amount of sagging you see in your jowls.

By using these three techniques daily you should start to see results in the firming of your sagging jowls within a few days. More dramatic results will be seen after a month or so. There really is no need to get a facelift. You can find more info. about natural facelift techniques at http://naturalsolutions4u.webs.com
