1. Skincare Products: Select moisturizing and firming skincare products to serve as massage lubricants. These will hydrate the skin during the massage and deliver optimal skincare benefits.
2. Lift cheek fat upward with fingers: Place index, middle, and ring fingers on the cheeks extending outward from the corners of the mouth. Apply gentle upward pressure to lift the cheek fat.
3. Gently press the cheekbones beside the nostrils with your thumbs: Spread your palms outward. Use the pads of your thumbs to lightly press the cheekbones beside the nostrils. This promotes facial blood circulation and helps slightly relax and soothe the muscles.
4. Massage upward from the cheekbones beside the nostrils: After gently pressing beside the nostrils, massage along the cheekbones toward the front of the ears. You'll feel the cheeks being gently lifted upward for a firmer sensation.
5. Lift the forehead using the web of your hands at the hairline: Place the web of each hand at the hairline on your forehead and gently lift upward. Moving from the outer corners of the eyes upward will create a noticeable lifting sensation across the face.
6. Tilt your head back for relaxation: Finally, tilt your head back and gently press the web of your hands onto your scalp for a final relaxation. Noticeably feel your face become firmer and nasolabial folds less pronounced.
II. Tongue Exercises You Can Do Anytime, Anywhere
1. Start at the top of the right nasolabial fold: Use your tongue to press outward against the right nasolabial fold inside your mouth, moving it up and down. Visually, the right nasolabial fold area will appear less pronounced.
2. Repeat on the left side: After completing the right side, move your tongue to the left and perform the same motion. Visually, the left nasolabial fold area will also appear less pronounced.
3. Rotate outward with tongue pressure: Use the outward pressure of your tongue to rotate inside your mouth. This simultaneously engages the facial muscles around the lips, achieving a skin-tightening effect.
4. Rotate left using the same method: After rotating right, repeat the motion rotating left. Perform 5 repetitions in each direction to gradually firm the nasolabial fold area.
III. Combining Lips and Hands to Exercise the Upper Lip Muscles
1.Stretch downward from the philtrum. Place both index fingers on either side of the nostrils while forming an "O" shape with your mouth. You should feel the nasolabial folds from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth being "lifted."
2. Maintain the "O" shape with your mouth. Press your hands against the lowest point of the nasolabial folds. You'll feel the muscles extending downward, which can improve the nasolabial folds from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
IV. Targeted Moisturizing and Nourishing Techniques for Nasolabial Fold Masks
1. Apply eye masks to nasolabial folds: Using eye masks specifically on nasolabial folds provides targeted care, delivering ample hydration and nourishment to this area to reduce wrinkles.Eye masks conform well to the nasolabial folds, making application easy. They can be applied after the eye area without compromising effectiveness, effectively reducing nasolabial lines.
2. Use firming masks: Many masks containing peptides or collagen are excellent for diminishing nasolabial lines. Those with pronounced lines should incorporate these masks regularly to gradually soften their appearance.
