A good facial shape is a hard standard for attractiveness. Without a good facial shape, even if one has a good figure, it cannot withstand harsh aesthetic standards. Nowadays, many people choose facial scraping to slim down their face. Can this method really stand up?
Can Facial Scraping Slim Down the Face?
Facial scraping can indeed slim down the face.
When slimming down the face, it is about reducing facial fat and making the skin tighter. To reduce facial fat, it is necessary to speed up the consumption of fat cells. Facial scraping can accelerate the microcirculation of facial blood vessels, increase the oxygen supply to facial fat cells, and accelerate the metabolism of facial fat cells. This promotes the consumption of facial fat cells and achieves the goal of slimming down the face. Additionally, facial scraping can stimulate epidermal cells and make the skin tighter, which is also helpful for slimming down the face.
Methods of Facial Scraping for Slimming the Face
1. Start by scraping the forehead. Apply scraping cream to the important parts of the entire face, without spreading it evenly. Start scraping from the middle of the forehead to the temples. Pay attention to keeping the angle of the scraping board and the skin within fifteen degrees.
2. Areas around the eyes: For the upper eyelid, scrape from the inside to the outside, smoothly dragging the scraping board. Be gentle and slow as the areas around the eyes are sensitive. For the lower eyelid, scrape from the inside to the outside in the same way.
3. Cheeks: From the upper part of the nose to the outer side of the cheeks, all the way to the temples. From one side of the nose to the front of the ears. Be careful not to pull the skin too much, but apply pressure.
4. Areas around the mouth: From the center of the upper lip to both sides of the mouth, and from the lower lip to both sides of the mouth.
5. Nose and mouth: From the center of the forehead to the tip of the nose. Be gentle in this area due to the presence of the nasal bone to avoid causing damage.
6. Jawline: Use the corner of the scraping board to scrape the cheeks to the front of the ears, both upper and lower.
7. During the scraping process, do not worry if there is some resistance. There may be some issues with the skin, so gentle scraping is recommended in such cases.
The Best Methods for Slimming the Face
Facial Exercises
Procedure: Slightly clench the teeth and the masseter muscles will appear under the sides of the face. Use both hands to form fists and press on the masseter muscles with the knuckles.
Effect: This exercise works on the entire contour from the ear roots to the jawline, tightening the jawline and making the face appear slimmer.
Tea Massage
Ingredients: Green tea powder, coix seed powder (millet flour, soybean flour can also be used) in appropriate amounts.
Procedure: Put the green tea powder in a bowl, add some roasted coix seed powder, mix well with cream, and brew with hot water (40-60 degrees Celsius) for drinking.
Effect: Catechins in green tea have antioxidant, metabolism-boosting, and free radical scavenging effects, reducing the accumulation of fat cells and achieving weight loss. Coix seed can promote water metabolism and reduce facial water retention, helping with face slimming.
Precautions for Facial Scraping for Slimming the Face
1. Facial scraping is not suitable for people with allergies, inflammation, or damaged skin, as scraping directly contacts the skin.
2. Use the different-sized heads of the scraping board skillfully. Adjust the larger head to target the lymphatic system of the face, lifting and tightening the facial contour. The smaller head can be used to press acupoints and relax the skin.
3. Facial scraping does not necessarily require the appearance of "sha" (redness or bruising). It is sufficient to achieve a warm effect. When you feel a slight warmth on your face, similar to the sensation of using a hot face mask, it is enough.
