How to Slim Down Your Face

In order to give your face a nice trim shape, you must begin by changing your habits in everyday life.

• Apply UV protection cream often.
• Drink a lot of water.
• Get adequate sleep.
• Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
• Massage your face often.

The Benefits of Facial Massage

Massaging helps increase the metabolic rate and improve blood circulation, and not only does it slim the face - it also improves your skin. Try massaging your face with your favourite skin care products, as this will help your skin absorb them better.

Massage your face every evening to help tone facial muscles and slim your face.

Massage Techniques for the Face

• Using the middle part of your middle fingers, press on different parts of your face. Press each part 20 times. Start from the bridge of your nose, pressing upwards to your eyebrows and outwards to your forehead. Then start from the corners of your mouth and press towards the inner corners of your eyes. Finally, press from your chin to the sides of your face all the way to your ears.
• Use the back of your hand and rapidly pat your chin 30 times. This helps to firm the chin.
• Use your middle finger and massage your face starting from the bridge of your nose, tracing the eyebrows and then tracing back to your nose. Repeat 10 times. Next, place your middle fingers onto the bridge of your nose, and slide vertically to your forehead. Place all fingers onto your forehead, and massage gently outwards to your temples, then stop and apply light pressure. Next, massage down the sides of your face, and trace back to your nose. Repeat 10 times.
• Lean back and use your palm or fingertips to press on the middle of your eyebrows and push upwards. At the same time, use your tongue to press against your upper jaw, pressing your molars together. Remain in this position and count to 10. Gradually relax. After several repetitions, count to 20 instead of 10.
