Massage for the second chin

You should have regular massages for the second chin. It can be done by a specialist in a massage parlor, or you can perform self-massage at home in front of a mirror. Before carrying out a massage from the second chin, you need to disinfect and cleanse the skin. To do this, you need to wash your face, then treat the skin with a special antiseptic tonic or lotion. When carrying out a massage, it is necessary to be sure to use massage creams. It is better to use natural vegetable oils, such as almond oil, grape seed oil, apricot kernel oil, wheat germ oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil. Additionally, they can be enriched with tonic essential oils, vitamins. You can use massage gels, creams. It is better to choose a cream with a lifting effect, which tightens the skin.

Cosmetic massage is recommended for the second chin, which affects not only the chin itself, but also the face. This is due to the fact that the muscles of the chin are directly connected with the facial muscles. Therefore, there is no point in tightening only the chin. You need to correct the shape of the face as a whole. Weakened facial muscles will contribute to sagging skin both on the face and on the chin.

The procedure for cosmetic massage is described below.

Apply a thin layer of cream or oil to the face. After that, light stroking movements begin to spread the cream evenly over the entire face, touching the chin area as well. Movements should be soft, gentle, because the skin on the face is extremely delicate and sensitive. Movements should be performed with fingertips, pads. It is necessary to observe the direction of massage lines. On the face we should move from the middle of the forehead to the temples. From the tip of the nose and the wings of the nose movements also go to the temples, to the ears. From the middle of the chin, the movements must go upwards to the ears.

When massaging the eye area, the movements on the lower eyelid are performed from the inner edge of the eye to the outer edge of the eye. On the upper eyelid, on the contrary, from the outer side to the inner edge of the eyelid. Then we move towards the temples, as if smoothing the skin, eliminating excess moisture and fat.

In the neck and chin area, all movements should be directed strictly from bottom to top, pulling the skin upwards.

Massage movements should not be stretching, pressing or rough. They should be smooth and rhythmic. The optimal duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes. Each movement should be repeated 4-5 times.

It should be borne in mind that cosmetic massage from the second chin may have certain contraindications. For example, it can not be carried out in the presence of acute inflammatory and infectious diseases of the skin, with increased growth of hair on the face and chin. It is also worth refraining from massage if a person has a pronounced vascular mesh, if there are pronounced blood vessels, their expansion is observed. It is not necessary to carry out a massage and with enlarged pores and severe skin contamination.

In case of severely sagging skin and the presence of a second chin, it is recommended to apply a hot compress to the skin before the start of the procedure, and after the end of the massage to apply a cold compress.

Vacuum massage with cans

To eliminate the second chin and tighten the facial oval, vacuum jars can be used. They are plastic jars (or silicone). By principle and mechanism of action, they are similar to the Soviet banks, which were used for colds. The only difference is that they do not need to be ignited. Vacuum is created by contact with the body. The jar as if sucked to the body, pulling part of the skin inside. Some jars have a special piston, which is used to pull out the air, creating an even greater vacuum.

With the help of vacuum jars you can do vacuum and lymphatic drainage massage, which helps to eliminate the second chin by eliminating excess fat deposits, as well as by improving the flow of lymph and blood circulation. Do massage should be a specialist, because it is necessary to strictly follow the sequence of movements, as well as to perform manipulations in the right direction. First you need to prepare the skin: disinfect it by treating it with antiseptics. Then apply a gel-lubricant. This can be a special massage gel or cream, massage or cosmetic oil, as well as an ordinary cream with a lifting effect. Some creams and base oils are enriched with vitamins or essential oils. At first, the vacuum should draw in a small amount of skin. It is important to warm and prepare the skin. A preliminary manual massage can be performed. Then it is necessary to use the jars to carry out light massaging movements: squeezing, alternating with stretching and rubbing with the help of hands. The most intensive treatment of the necessary areas is carried out in the main part of the massage. After the end of intensive massage movements, the skin should be relaxed and soothed. To do this, perform light stroking, low-intensity movements of the jars. After the cans are removed, it is necessary to thoroughly massage these areas, rub (with hands). You can perform a few vibrating movements that relax the skin. It should be borne in mind that after a massage with vacuum jars can remain bruises, or appear a little swelling. This is due to micro-damage to blood vessels, which are almost impossible to avoid. They pass on their own, after a few days. The severity of bruises depends on the individual characteristics of the skin and microcirculatory system of a person.

Neck massage for the second chin.
