How to make good use of quarantine: 10 beauty tips

Shouldn't we replace cosmetic industry products with natural products for facial and body skin care? Many women think about this, but often do not know where to start, what vegetable and essential oils to use. Beauty trainer Natalya Dichkovskaya created an eco-rejuvenation program for herself, got amazing results - and wrote a book about it. Here are simple tips for rejuvenating the skin of your face and body—and even boosting your immunity.

General recommendations

To keep your face well-groomed, stop the aging process and avoid premature fading, you should know the secrets and follow a number of simple tips:

Smoking and alcohol constrict blood vessels, as a result of which the epidermis receives less oxygen and nutrients, and moisture loss occurs. This leads to a decrease in sagging tone, the formation of wrinkles, and a deterioration in complexion. To delay old age, you need to give up bad habits.
Stress and lack of sleep negatively affect the skin around the eyes. Dark circles appear in the lower eyelid area, dullness and a kind of bruising appear. It is important to provide the body with good quality sleep and relaxation, and to avoid stress. You need to sleep on your back, using a comfortable pillow.
The sun's rays dry out the skin, which leads to its rapid, early sagging. Before going outside, it is important to use products containing SPF filters.
The face needs daily care: cleansing, moisturizing, nutrition. To do this, you can use professional or folk recipes.
To saturate the epidermis with oxygen, you need to regularly exercise and walk. This leads to improved blood circulation and stimulation of regeneration processes in the body.
The epidermis and dermis need water. To avoid dryness, decreased turgor and other unpleasant consequences, you need to drink a couple of liters of clean filtered water every day.

To maintain youth and attractiveness, you need to establish proper nutrition. The body must receive vitamins, minerals, Omega polyunsaturated fatty acids, protein and other substances that have a positive effect on the epidermis.

Various procedures, performed at home at regular intervals, help to achieve a well-groomed appearance. It all depends on the degree of neglect of the problem and the chosen methods.

Facial rejuvenation from 40 years old

By this age, the rate of cell renewal slows down, the stratum corneum thickens, and the epidermis and dermis become thinner. The skin loses moisture faster. Blood flow in the body slows down, which means the skin is less well supplied with blood. Because of this, they fade, as well as the first deep wrinkles and sometimes pigmentation. The production of collagen and elastin decreases. Therefore, after 40 years it is necessary to compensate for the lack of these substances.

So, anti-aging products from the age of 40 should include collagen, vitamin C, which rids the skin of toxins, and moisturizing components.

Benefits of home treatments

Using homemade formulations has many advantages:

Simplicity. In the refrigerator and on the housewife's bathroom shelf there are ingredients that can be used to nourish the skin and saturate it with essential substances.
Safety. Homemade cosmetics do not contain preservatives, dyes or other dangerous substances that negatively affect the condition of the skin and health in general. It is made on the basis of natural ingredients.
Convenience. To perform manipulations, there is no need to go to the salon, waste time and be distracted from other matters. The procedures can be performed while cooking, surfing the Internet, etc.
Saving. Homemade cosmetics are cheap and accessible. The ingredients are purchased at a traditional grocery store and are inexpensive.

Often, leftover food is stored in the refrigerator, which is not enough to prepare a full meal, and it’s a pity to throw it away. To make a cosmetic product, ingredients are required in minimal quantities. The stored residues are quite sufficient for this.

Cosmetic rejuvenation procedures

As already mentioned, beauty injections have a more global effect on the skin, but they should only be done by a professional. Some women, wanting to save money, try to inject themselves with hyaluronic acid, Botox, etc., or ask a friend to help in this matter. Both women may not have a medical education and may not know the basic principles of introducing drugs into the skin of the face. Such procedures can only harm the skin and lead to side effects and complications.

For example, an allergic reaction may occur to any intervention. And, if the skin application of the cream that caused the rash can be dealt with by washing it off the skin and taking an antihistamine, then it will no longer be possible to remove the product from the deeper layers of the skin. Moreover, in the most severe cases, emergency anti-shock therapy may be required.

Incorrect injection technique, poor-quality drug, improper care after home procedure - all this can contribute to the occurrence of inflammation from the injection of fillers.

Do not forget that any part of our body is innervated and supplied with blood. The location of blood vessels and the course of nerves can only be known by a person who has thoroughly studied anatomy.

Therefore, there are cases where an injection with a cosmetic drug was administered in such a way that it resulted in paralysis of any part of the face, or caused extensive bleeding and hematoma. This once again confirms that all injection procedures can only be done in trusted beauty salons and cosmetologist’s offices (preferably with a higher medical education).

Facial care methods

There are various available methods of facial rejuvenation using folk remedies. So, you can make masks, scrubs, tonics, herbal ice cubes containing medicinal plants, etc.

At the initial stage, care should be taken to thoroughly clean the surface of dirt, sebum, and makeup.

For this, olive oil, grape seed oil or any other vegetable oil is used. Additionally, to remove the stratum corneum, a scrub based on honey, strawberries, and sour cream is used.

Residues of care products are removed with mineral water. Washing with ordinary liquid from the tap is not recommended.

How to care for your hair with natural remedies

How to improve hair growth? Spray rosemary or sage hydrosol on your scalp and hair after each wash - this will make your hair thick, strong and shiny, and accelerate its growth.

How to use excess cream. Have you applied your evening cream and still have some left over on your hands? Rub them into the ends of your hair - the next morning there will be no trace of the cream left, and your hair will become flexible and elastic and will stop splitting.

Regenerating mask-scrub for scalp care. This mask will strengthen the roots, make the hair strong and elastic, cleanse the scalp and restore cellular respiration.

Ingredients:

sea salt (sieve through a fine sieve) - 1 tbsp. spoon,
sour cream/yogurt - 2 tbsp. spoons,
Bay essential oil - 3 drops,
petitgrain essential oil - 3 drops.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly, apply to scalp and massage lightly. Rinse with warm water, then wash hair with shampoo.

Compresses

To expand pores, eliminate sebaceous plugs, tone, increase elasticity, various compresses are used. The finished composition is applied to the skin warm. In this way, maximum efficiency is achieved.

There are various techniques for creating compresses that promote rejuvenation. To do this, you can use the following components:

Green tea. For preparation you will need a leaf product. The tea must be poured with boiling water and cooled to a temperature of 40 degrees. The composition in compress bags is not suitable. A teaspoon of tea is brewed in a glass of liquid.
Chamomile. Pour boiling water over the herb. Pour into a thermos. Let it brew for 20 minutes. Strain. Use warm. The product tones and soothes the skin. As a result of application, a feeling of coolness and cleanliness is created. For cooking you need 1 tsp. herbs and 250 ml of boiling water.
Aloe. Pour the plant juice with non-carbonated mineral water in the ratio of tsp per glass of clean water.
Rose hip. Dried berries are brewed in boiling water and infused for 30 minutes. To prepare the mixture you need 2 tbsp. berries per 200 ml of water.
Cucumber. The vegetable is a universal anti-aging product. It is used to create tonics, masks and compresses. For the compress you will need the juice of one ripe fruit mixed with a glass of purified water without gas.

Before applying the compress, the fabric is additionally soaked in vegetable oil and only then with the resulting mixture.

To increase effectiveness, after using a warm compress, it is recommended to wash your face with cool water or treat your skin with an ice cube. This will help close pores and tone.

CLEANSING

Cleansing is carried out in two stages - we wash off the cosmetics and then carry out a deep cleansing of dead cells using a scrub or special masks. You can wash off cosmetics with your usual product; if your skin is sensitive, it is better to take special lotions; oily and normal skin can easily tolerate various foams, etc. This is the ABC, I won’t go into detail on it - take the product that you usually use, it will do just fine .

The next stage is the removal of dead cells. You can’t get away with foam here, you need a stronger impact. I’m not a fan of homemade recipes like cucumber rubs or Indian gull poop masks, but when it comes to scrubs, folk recipes are most often quite adequate. You can choose professional cosmetics (you need products that say “exfoliator”), which can be in the form of a scrub, a hardening film mask, etc., or make your own potion. Here are a few recipes that I sometimes use:

classic scrub:

• a quarter cup of oatmeal • a quarter cup of powdered milk • a tablespoon of sea salt

To enhance the effect, you can add finely ground coffee, but only if your skin is not sensitive. Place all ingredients in a blender or coffee grinder and grind until smooth. During the grinding process, you can add a few drops of essential oil; choose what you need depending on your skin type and the desired effect. Pour a little mixture onto a damp palm and spread it with your finger until it becomes a paste, then apply it to your face and rub in in a circular motion. Did you rub it? Let's wash it off!

Classic mask:

• a quarter of a mango or 2-3 strawberries (winter ones are possible) • half a teaspoon of lemon juice • 2 drops of lemon oil

Everything is crushed in a blender and applied to the face with a special brush, left for 10-15 minutes and rinsed off thoroughly. Berries and fruits contain acid, which gives the effect of a mild chemical peeling and removes particles of dead skin. Attention: after this mask you should not go out into direct sunlight; there may be problems with pigmentation (reaction to vitamin C).

Attention: when choosing from the mass of “folk” recipes that are abundant on the Internet, be very careful. Most of them are based on a combination of yolk or white, honey, cereals, fruits, dairy products - in fact, great allergens. If you have problems with allergies, then it is better to choose professional products, carefully reading what is included in the composition.

Massage

Special massage techniques are used to rejuvenate the face and speed up blood circulation. They help tighten the muscle frame, reduce wrinkles, eliminate jowls and a double chin.

Massage procedures are carried out daily at a time convenient for the person. However, it is advisable to do this in the morning. Movements are carried out along massage lines, starting from the forehead and gradually moving to the chin. It is important to avoid stretching the skin.

To eliminate age-related changes, you can use the simplest and most common set of manipulations:

Fingers should be placed on the bridge of the nose. The pads apply pressure to the surface, drawing a kind of line from the center of the forehead to the temples, and then back, but without pressing. Repeat the procedure 5-7 times.
Gently tapping movements massage around the eyes. The execution begins on the upper eyelid, after which it moves to the lower eyelid.
Use your index fingers to make circular movements in the area of the nasolabial folds. The effect is carried out until a feeling of warmth or burning occurs.
Using pressing movements, walk along the contour of the lower jaw 7-10 times.

At the final stage, light pinching is performed. It is important to do it strictly along the appropriate lines.

Structure and types of facial skin to know how to care

Skin is one of the organs of our body that we see. It performs the protective function of the body from weather conditions, anthropogenic factors, the penetration of pathogenic bacteria, various types of pollution, etc. Therefore, you need to take proper care of it so as not to cause more harm.

To answer the question “How to care for your facial skin?”, you need to know about its structure, the functions it performs, in order to know which care regimen is optimal for you.

So, our skin has three layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Let's look at them in more detail.

Epidermis layer

, consisting of five layers of cells, is responsible for various functions of the skin as a whole. It also carries melanin, which is responsible for the possibility of an even tan under ultraviolet rays and, accordingly, for the color of human skin.

Dermis layer

, consisting of connective tissue, sweat and sebaceous glands, nerve endings and receptors, blood vessels and hair follicles, represents our skin. This layer is most responsible for preserving her youth.

Hypodermis layer

(sub-dermis or subcutaneous fat) stores and accumulates necessary nutrients.

Sweat glands

eliminate and partially remove water-soluble waste from our body.

Sebaceous glands

The fat released from them lubricates the surface of the skin. This saves it from excessive dryness and cracking. Our many facial skin problems arise from blocks and congestion in these glands.

Consequently, the solution to the problem of how to properly care for facial skin depends on the intensity of the work of the sebaceous glands of the face. Thanks to them, four types of facial skin are distinguished: normal, dry, oily or combination. You can find out your type yourself at home or ask a specialist who just needs to conduct a visual inspection.

Dry skin

It is distinguished by its special tenderness and subtlety. In adolescence, it pleases its owner with beauty, the absence of acne, comedones, etc. However, over the years, it begins to lack the available moisture and nutrition, as a result of which rapid withering occurs. It is also characterized by sensitivity, a tendency to frequent peeling and irritation. Therefore, you need to take care of your facial skin using appropriate cosmetics.

Oily skin

complete opposite of the previous one. It has a denser and coarser structure and an abundance of enlarged pores. The big advantage of this type is the protective film that is produced, as a result of which it, unlike other types, is most protected from external, harmful environmental factors. Therefore, her youth lasts longer than dry skin. However, oily skin is prone to frequent pimples and blackheads. Excessive sebum production on the face is to blame for this. Another disadvantage is enlarged pores, which tend to become clogged with dirt, and therefore cause a lot of trouble for their owner. Therefore, with this type you need to properly care for your facial skin so that it has a clean and well-groomed appearance.

Combination skin

- the most common type. Sometimes it can be confused with normal facial skin type, which is close to the truth. In the middle area of the face, the skin is usually oily, and the cheeks are most often prone to dryness with this type. Therefore, you need to take care of your facial skin, paying attention to oily and dry areas.

Normal facial skin is even, smooth, soft and elastic, just like that of children. Unfortunately, it is very rare among the adult population.

Masks

Face masks are the most common means of rejuvenation. To prepare them, you can use almost all the products in the refrigerator.

So, most often honey, sour cream, eggs, yeast, flour, etc. are used for this.

Before applying the mask, the skin should be thoroughly cleansed. It is advisable to scrub and remove keratinized areas.

Afterwards the skin needs to be steamed. To do this, make a compress based on herbs.

The mask is applied to steamed skin. This increases its effectiveness and promotes the penetration of beneficial substances into the deep layers of the epidermis. It is recommended to do the manipulation in the evening. After this, a thick layer of night cream is applied.

When using masks based on components that cause allergies, the composition must first be tested on a small area, preferably on the wrist. If there is no reaction, the mixture is applied to the face.

Effective formulations

There are many recipes and techniques for rejuvenating facial skin at home using various masks. Thus, it is recommended to use the following compositions:

Lemon juice or fresh cucumber will help even out your skin tone and lighten age spots. The fruit can be grated and applied to the face or cut into thin slices. Leave for 20-30 minutes. Rinse with water. When using lemon, the skin is provided with vitamin C, which has an antioxidant and regenerating effect.
To eliminate excessive dryness, use a mask of regular boiled potatoes. The fruit is boiled and kneaded to a pulp. The mass is applied warm for 15-20 minutes, after which it is washed off.
To increase elasticity and normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, a mixture prepared from full-fat kefir, chicken eggs and honey is used. For a teaspoon of honey you need 3 tablespoons of kefir and the white of one egg. The components are mixed until a homogeneous mass is formed and applied to the face for 15 minutes. Next, the mixture is washed off with warm water.
Add 5 grams of dry yeast to 2 tablespoons of warmed milk. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Mix and apply the mixture to your face. Leave for 30 minutes. Yeast increases blood circulation and stimulates cell division, restoring structure.

Masks are not prepared in advance. It is advisable to use only fresh mixture and not store the composition in the refrigerator for more than a couple of days.

To get results, it is recommended to repeat anti-aging masks once or twice a week. After the procedure, decorative cosmetics are not used for several hours.

Masks can be alternated with each other.

Pros of use

Regular use of masks for home has a significant number of positive aspects:

Normalization of sebum production. Eliminates oily shine.
Smoothing wrinkles. Small ones are smoothed out, large ones become less obvious.
Improvement of the oval. The oval of the face is noticeably tightened, the skin becomes elastic, and its elasticity increases.
Hydration. Cells receive active substances and moisture, which leads to smoothing of the surface and improved turgor.
Getting rid of dryness and flaking. The feeling of tightness and discomfort is eliminated.
Preventing early aging. Skin saturated with vitamins and moisture fades more slowly.
Regeneration. As a result of eliminating dead skin and stimulating metabolic reactions, cells are formed quite quickly.
Shade alignment. Masks help eliminate hyperpigmentation and improve complexion.

With regular use of household products, the use of professional cosmetics can be minimized.

Restrictions on use

It is important to know not only the secrets of preparing homemade masks, but also to follow the recommendations of professional dermatologists:

To achieve maximum quick results, masks should be done in courses 2-3 times a week. After a two-month cycle, you need to take a break for 4-6 months. Next, the course can be repeated.
Masks are washed off with mineral unsalted water. Using tap water is not recommended. It contains bleach and other harmful components that worsen the condition of the epidermis.
Allergen-based products are used as carefully as possible. The composition cannot be kept for more than 20 minutes.

If you have herpes, eczema, rashes and other surface damage, the use of such compositions should be temporarily abandoned.

Also contraindications for use are allergic reactions, severe kidney and liver diseases, and blood clotting disorders.

Facial rejuvenation after 60 years

By the age of 60, hormonal changes are completed. The skin loses collagen and elastin, so it becomes very thin, hypersensitive, dry and prone to peeling. The clarity of the oval face also disappears.

Cosmetic care products for women 60 years of age and older should well moisturize and nourish the skin, tighten and make it denser. This can be facilitated by components such as collagen, vitamins, antioxidants, and natural extracts.

Pharmacy drugs

To reduce the manifestation of age-related skin changes, inexpensive products are used that are sold in traditional pharmacies. Products can solve a lot of problems. It is used not only to prevent aging, but also to eliminate inflammatory processes, stimulate cell renewal, and get rid of tumors.

Such means include:

ointments;
creams;
oil;
acids, etc.

It is worth talking about each of the varieties separately.

Oils and acids

Oils have a positive effect on tone and turgor, improve the oval shape, and help reduce the number of wrinkles.

The compositions are not used in their pure form. 2-5 drops of oil are added to a traditional skin care product. The resulting substance is applied to the surface.

To preserve beauty and make your face look young again, use the following oils:

Peach. The product eliminates excessive dryness and starts metabolic processes in cells.
Rosemary. The composition increases blood circulation, promotes the formation of new cells, smoothes out fine wrinkles.
Orange. The oil saturates the epidermis with vitamin C, improves the complexion and eliminates puffiness.
Geranium. The plant reduces redness, increases elasticity, and prevents the epidermis from aging.

Various acids also restore youth. The most popular is hyaluronate or, as it is also called, hyaluronic acid. The product promotes the production of your own collagen and retains moisture in the cells. As a result, the skin becomes elastic.

The product is applied before bedtime. To increase efficiency, a mesoscooter is used. Thus, the acid penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis.

You can rejuvenate your face and restore its freshness by using lactic acid. The product eliminates sagging, sagging and fine lines. Acid provides renewal at the cellular level.

Creams and ointments

Pharmacy ointments and creams help restore a smooth structure. For this you can use:

Heparin ointment. The composition eliminates dark marks under the eyes and puffiness.
Relief. The drug is used primarily for the treatment of hemorrhoids. When used on the face, the product helps accelerate healing and stimulate cell regeneration.
Solcoseryl. The ointment promotes the formation of collagen in cells, improving blood microcirculation and metabolic processes.
Panthenol. The drug eliminates skin rashes, heals and promotes metabolism in cells.
Baby cream. A product that many people unfairly ignore, it nourishes, soothes and rejuvenates the skin.

There are other products based on vitamins, essential oils and acids. Such products have a positive effect on the condition of the face and have an anti-aging effect.

Facial rejuvenation after 50 years

The main feature of the body of women at this age (for some earlier, for others after 60 years) is the onset of menopause, which is characterized by a decrease in estrogen production. This entails the cessation of natural lipid production. Due to these processes, the skin becomes even thinner, drier and less elastic. It is also now more susceptible to ultraviolet rays.

Cosmetics labeled “50+” should replenish the skin’s moisture and also contribute to the long-term hydration effect. It is also necessary to choose creams and masks that accelerate cell regeneration. And, of course, the products should tone aging skin.

Thus, it will be great if the composition of skincare cosmetics contains plant proteins, collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins and natural extracts.

Additional ways to rejuvenate your face at home

Homemade anti-aging recipes are not able to provide an immediate effect. To improve the characteristics of the skin with folk remedies, it is necessary to use them for a long time.

However, sometimes results are required in the shortest possible time. To quickly rejuvenate the face, various modern procedures are used.

To do this, you can resort to the following cosmetic manipulations:

Mesotherapy. The procedure helps make the skin youthful in just a few sessions. To do this, various cocktails are injected under the skin using a thin needle. The composition depends on the desired effect.
Botox injections. The administration of botulinum toxin reduces muscle motor activity. Muscles relax, skin wrinkles decrease.
Laser rejuvenation. The procedure involves removing the top layer of skin. This stimulates its renewal. To get the result, one manipulation is enough.
Radio wave lift. The face is exposed to short and long radio waves. Thus, blood circulation improves and turgor increases. The effect is noticeable after the first procedure.

Most salon treatments have a quick, long-lasting effect. To improve results, it is recommended to combine home techniques with professional preparations and manipulations, carefully treat the surface with cream and adhere to general care recommendations. As a result, your face will look fresh and youthful for many years.

With an integrated approach, it does not age and has a stunning, radiant appearance.

Facial skin rejuvenation at home is a great opportunity to save money and time. Moreover, the procedures do not cause physical or psychological discomfort. A person does not have to listen to a cosmetologist’s complaints about a hard life and ungrateful clients, as often happens when visiting a salon.

Skin cleansing at home

At any age, the first step in facial skin care is cleansing. Many women neglect this. They do not understand that it is useless to apply cream or serum to skin contaminated with makeup, sebaceous products and simply dust and dirt accumulated throughout the day.

You need to wash your face every day, morning and evening, using gel or foam. If decorative cosmetics have been applied to the face, they should be removed with a cotton pad moistened with micellar water or makeup remover lotion.

Makeup that you do not wash off before bed can lead to clogging of the pores, dryness and inflammatory processes in the form of acne. The regularity of such situations leads to premature aging of the skin.

1-2 times a week, the skin requires deeper cleansing through scrubs, peelings or film masks. Do not use them more often and do not rub the skin vigorously when applying, this can cause damage to the epidermis. The essence of using deep cleansers is only to exfoliate the dead top layer of skin.

When choosing a scrub, you should give preference to those that contain smooth particles. Products with artificial abrasive grains better meet this requirement. Scrubs based on apricot kernels and coffee beans often have sharp edges, so they easily injure the skin.

Regarding peelings, it should be noted that the most gentle of them are enzyme peels. They are recommended from a young age until about 40 years of age. In older adults, enzyme peels are unable to remove large numbers of dead cells. Then peelings with enzymes obtained from fruits (for example, kiwi, papaya) come to the aid of women aged about 45 years.

Using acid-based chemical peels at home is dangerous. Such products have a rather deep and aggressive effect on the skin. The cosmetologist prepares the client’s skin for their use in 10-14 days. Only an experienced dermatologist will be able to select the appropriate formulations specifically for your skin to ensure thorough cleansing, but at the same time prevent the occurrence of burns, dryness and irritation.

If you choose a mask as a cleanser, you need to know that it is applied in a thick layer for 5-10 minutes. During this time, try not to smile or laugh in order to prevent excessive stretching of the skin. If the mask has a film structure after hardening on the face, then it must be removed from the bottom up (from the chin to the forehead).

FACE MASSAGE

In fact, massage is included in the full range of procedures indicated in the salon’s price list as “facial care”, or should be included there. Regular massage is one of the serious conditions for maintaining skin tone; no wonderful creams and serums will be able to maintain this tone for a long time. Massage can and should be done regularly on your own, but it’s even better to learn together with a friend and help take care of each other’s faces on a barter basis. The rules are simple:

oil.

To massage your face, you need massage oil or massage emulsion, and this is where I advocate professional cosmetics. No, you can also use olive oil if your skin is dry. But it clogs pores and leads to the formation of blackheads. Grapeseed oil is better, avocado, jojoba - there are a lot of options, study the effect and choose the best. I prefer light, natural massage oils; some manufacturers have series specifically designed for facial massage (look for the “facial” label). You can’t take the cream for massage; it will be quickly absorbed and you will begin to stretch the skin.

2. skin.

The skin should be cleansed, if you have not done the previous procedures, then simply remove makeup and dirt from your face (using lotion or any basic cleanser such as rose water).

hands.

Before starting the massage, warm up your hands - rub them together to keep them warm. Pour a little oil into your palm and rub it, it should also be warm. You don't need a lot of oil, the main thing is that your hands slide freely.

movements.

The direction of movement should always be from bottom to top. We are struggling with the effects of gravity, so for obvious reasons there is no point in further pulling the skin down. If you are giving a massage to a friend, then lay her on the sofa and stand behind her, then all your movements should be from yourself to yourself.

pressure.

Start with stroking movements and gradually increase pressure. It is important to maintain a balance - the massage should be effective (we need a significant increase in blood circulation), but at the same time you should not additionally stretch the skin with your movements.

eyes.

The skin around the eyes is NEVER massaged. We can work along the edges of the orbit of the eye - along the bottom and along the line under the eyebrows. Under no circumstances rub cream or oil with intense circular movements, only point, very gentle pressure. The skin is a living organ, all nutrients circulate in it. The working finger is the ring finger. We perform all movements only with this finger, it is the weakest and is difficult to harm.

These are simple rules that you need to understand before moving on to practice. If you are ready, then go ahead to a toned face!
