Greetings to all readers of my blog. The mood today, to be honest, is not very good. And all because I noticed wrinkles on my face. It is clear that the process is inevitable, but is there really nothing to be done? But there is a way out. This is a facial massage with spoons, the reviews and results on the Internet are very positive. Let's find out how to make it at home and which devices are best suited.
There are 57 muscles under the skin of our face. Not all of them are involved. Those who are unemployed become weaker over time.
This is how the corners of our lips droop, our cheeks and eyelids sag. Facial massage with spoons tones our muscles. This means it tightens the contour of the face and smoothes out wrinkles.
The German cosmetologist Rene Koch was the first to suggest using spoons for facial massage. The cosmetic procedure is carried out using two spoons. And also two glasses - with hot and cold water. Use spoons at different temperatures to warm up the facial muscles. This leads to improved skin nutrition and drainage of excess lymph.

Massage with spoons is a great way to maintain elasticity and youthfulness of the skin. It will enhance the effect of cosmetic products and restore the skin, as if after a spa holiday. You can master the simple technique yourself by using it for home care.
Instructions for cold massage
A cold spoon is designed to treat circles and bags under the eyes. To do this, before the procedure, the instrument is cooled in finely crushed ice.
Remove makeup from the face and apply moisturizer. Two tablespoons are disinfected in alcohol and soaked in ice water. The cooled massage instrument is applied to the upper eyelid and held for several seconds. The second spoon is used for the lower eyelid area. The procedure reduces puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
Dip a cold spoon into warm oil and begin the massage. The cutlery is moved along the massage lines, pressing lightly on the skin. The technique is the same as for the hot procedure (video below).
If the spoon does not glide across the surface of the skin, use more oil base. The massage takes about ten minutes.
The first procedure lasts 1-2 minutes, the same amount is added every day. After 10 days, the procedure will take 10 minutes. With the correct technique, you can feel the relaxation of the facial muscles immediately after the first use.
Jowls and nasolabial folds are formed from constantly tense muscles; a cold spoon helps them relax. Constant use of the original technique helps not only to get rid of wrinkles on the skin and sagging cheeks, but also to feel a pleasant feeling of relief from tension in the face.
How to remove stagnation in lymph using your hands
If stagnation forms in the lymph, waste and toxins accumulate in it, as a result the face becomes swollen, flabby, and has an unhealthy color. Lymphatic drainage massage will help correct these shortcomings.
First you need to make circular movements along the massage lines, then light pressure along the same lines. They are followed by tapping the skin and stroking.
Does lymphomassage help restore lymph flow or not? It turns out it will help! As a result, the movement of lymph is activated, excess fluid is removed between cells, and the walls of blood vessels become toned.
In addition, metabolic processes improve, the skin begins to breathe freely, wrinkles are smoothed out. Just 10 minutes a day is enough to cleanse the lymph.
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.
The secret of combined massage
Silver spoons bring benefits during massage; they have a positive effect on skin cells. Manipulations with cold and hot metal stimulate nerve endings - the skin comes to life and returns to normal. Under the influence of different temperatures, essential, vegetable oils, serums, creams are absorbed deeper and faster into the epidermis. Alternating hot and cold spoons revitalizes, saturates, moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Combined massage with spoons has a positive effect on the appearance of the face. The procedure reduces swelling - removes excess fluid under the skin, improves blood and lymph circulation, and maintains a rejuvenating effect.
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.

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.
Massage along these lines will help reduce age-related changes
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.
A few important points
Before you start massaging your face against wrinkles with spoons, consider a few important details that will make the procedure easier and more effective.
- It is best to massage in the morning, thus dispersing the blood.
- During the massage, try to distance yourself from the whole world. Turn off your phone, lock yourself in your room, and focus solely on the procedure.
- The facial skin must be completely cleansed before the massage. There should be no makeup, fat, or any other components on it. After cleansing, moisturize your face with the cream you use daily.
- It is recommended to warm the oil before use so that it can cleanse the skin of excess impurities.
- Before massage, spoons are thoroughly washed and wiped with alcohol.
- You need to prepare two tanks with ice and hot water. Each of them should contain two spoons.
How to prepare the skin?
Any cosmetic procedure requires certain preparation.
Wash your face and apply nourishing cream. You don’t have to hide it in the closet, because it will come in handy later.
Prepare containers with water. The procedure is always started with warm spoons, not cold ones. Make sure it is not too hot before using it.
To avoid accidentally introducing infection or simple dirt, wipe each spoon with alcohol. Drop a couple of spoons into each container (the number of spoons may vary depending on technique).
Smoothing nasolabial folds
This defect is almost the most deplorable for most women. Nasolabial folds make the face gloomy and sad, “throwing on” an extra ten years. Moreover, this is an unfortunate place for foundation to accumulate. Such wrinkles can appear even at a very early age - at 30, and sometimes at 25 years. You can get rid of them using the following manipulations:
- Using heated spoons, we make spiral movements from the center of the upper lip to the earlobes. The exercise is repeated 5 times.
- We puff up our cheeks and start patting them with heated spoons for 10 seconds. Then take a short break and repeat the manipulation. There should be 5 repetitions in total.
- The mouth should be opened in the shape of the letter “O”, and hot spoons should be placed on the wings of the nose. Now we move them in a circular motion to the corners of the open mouth and back. This needs to be repeated 3 times.
What is the procedure?
The whole process consists of simple stroking with spoons. You need to press them with the reverse side. Just don't press too hard!
This massage is practiced not only on the face, but throughout the body. It’s just that the effect is most noticeable in the face area.
It is worth warning that you should not expect a miracle. Still, this is not an expensive cream that acts “instantly.”
But this method definitely works, which cannot be said about various cosmetics.
By performing simple steps daily, you will notice improvements within a month.
What are the results
The procedure has a relaxing effect, which has a positive effect on the skin, making it much younger.
Good results are noticeable after the very first procedure: physical fatigue goes away, the overall tone of the body increases. A more visible effect is noticeable after about the fifth session.
The secret of this result is good conduction of cold and heat to all nerve endings. Thanks to this procedure, creams, oils and various serums penetrate deeper into the skin.
