Many women struggle with having a large face when trying to lose weight. While losing weight can make the body slimmer, a round face can make it seem like the weight loss is not as noticeable. On the other hand, if the face becomes slimmer, the entire person immediately appears thinner. Therefore, women always try various methods to make their faces smaller. However, medications often have side effects, so if you want a safe and natural way to slim your face, you need to find the right method. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends facial massage as a safe and side-effect-free way to slim the face.
【Massage Techniques】
1. Place both hands above the forehead with the index fingers forming a V shape. Use the middle fingers to press down on the nose for about ten seconds. Then, use the middle and ring fingertips of both hands to push from the tip of the nose to the forehead. Hold for about ten seconds and then return to the original position. Repeat this action four times. Remember to do the movements slowly and lightly to achieve better results and help tighten the muscles around the upper lip and nose.
2. Place four fingers of both hands under the jaw, touching the muscles of the chin and neck. Then, use both thumbs to push the chin muscles forcefully towards the sides until the muscles feel tightened. This can reduce the accumulation of fat in the chin, making the face immediately look tighter and smaller.
3. The chin is the key to slimming the face. Close the four fingers together and bend them. Use the middle phalanges of the fingers to support the chin, and then use the thumbs to massage downwards from the bottom of the ears to the chin. Repeat this three times. After completing this, use the thumbs to support the bottom of the ears and use the fingers to pull upwards towards the ears. Repeat this three times.
4. Another method is cheekbone pushing. First, apply some slimming cream on the face to help burn facial fat. Use the fingertips to slowly push up the cheekbone. Continue this motion for about two minutes.
5. Cheekbone tapping is also a good massage technique. First, apply the massage cream as before, then use the fingertips to rub around the eyes, and finally tap the cheekbone lightly with the fingertips, gradually moving outwards. This action should last for about three minutes.
6. The most basic massage actions are rubbing, tapping, and pinching, and the same goes for the face. When doing facial massage, it is important to use a gentle touch and not apply too much force to avoid forming wrinkles. It is recommended to do the massage before bed because after the massage, the face needs sufficient rest.
【Reducing Eyelid Swelling】
Eyelid swelling can also make the face appear larger, so reducing it is also a technique for slimming the face.
1. Use the thumbs of both hands to slide back and forth between the outer corner and the end of the eye. (Similar to eye exercises)
2. Close your eyes and lightly press the upper eyelid with your index finger.
3. Use the index fingers of both hands to massage along the upper eyelids from the outer corner.
4. Finally, lightly press the outer corner of the eye five times with the index fingers of both hands.
【Eliminating Double Chin】
Having a double chin is definitely a woman's enemy, so if you want to have a delicate and slim face, you must not allow a double chin to exist.
1. Use the fingertips of the thumbs to lightly press under the chin for five seconds.
2. Use the thumbs to massage back and forth from the middle of the chin to the sides towards the earlobes.
