Lymphatic Drainage, Face Lifting Massage.

Hi everyone and welcome to my channel. Today I'm going to demonstrate to you an anti-aging lymphatic drainage facial massage that is amazing for the contours of your face, to getting rid of any signs of aging, to improving those wrinkles, but also this is amazing if you suffer with allergies, if you have any congestion around your sinuses, if you have headaches, because we are going to be working with the lymphatic fluids that are close to the surface of our skin and we're going to try to drain those toxins out and bring the fluid down because lymphatic system is actually one of the key systems for our immune system. So if you guys are interested, then keep watching. So first thing we need to do is apply some oil or some lubricant. So whatever you prefer using, you can use a cream, massage cream, you can use oil. I'm just going to be using one of my face oils that I know works for me. So I'm just going to press it in so that when we do the massage, the skin doesn't drag. The first thing we're going to do is warm up our lymph ducts and we're going to be draining towards the supraclavicular nodes and they are located just above your collarbone. If you put all the fingers inside of a collarbone, we're just going to apply really light pressure and we're going to do this about five times just to warm them up. And the first movement we're going to do is we're going to place our fingers just by our ears and then we're going to go in a downwards motion towards our clavicles and we're going to do this three times. Now we're going to put three of our fingers just in the middle of our forehead and we're going to drain towards our temples. You can apply a little bit of pressure around your temples and then we're going to go down towards our collarbones again. And we're going to repeat this three times. This is amazing if you have any frown lines, if you have any wrinkles on your forehead, but also if you get headaches and tension. I carry a lot of tension around my forehead so this is a great exercise. Now we're going to do a lifting motion for our forehead. We're going to start in the middle of our brows and then with feather like motion we're just going to lift the skin. Just make sure it doesn't drag. You can go over your brows as well if you want to open your eyes a little bit more. Now we're going to do our eyes. So I'm going to take the ring finger, place it at the outer corner of my eyes and then with very very light pressure I'm going to go underneath my eye, stop at the brow bone, put a little pressure here, go around the brow, a little pressure at the temple and then we can go down to the collarbone. Now I'm going to go in the inside corner of my eye and go outwards, a little pressure at the temple and drain towards the collarbone. Outer corner to the inside, around the eye and down to the collarbone. Next thing I'm going to do is work on the crow's feet that you sometimes get around your eyes. I'm going to put my fingers in a v-shape and apply them on either side of my eye and I'm going to pinch my fingers together. I'm going to put them just in the corner between my fingers and in an 8, number 8 shape I'm going to go like this about 10 times. So this is the motion that you are doing. You're just doing it here. Make sure nothing is dragging, nothing is and going down a little bit to the cheekbone. This will help you with any puffiness around your eyes, any swelling. Next thing we're going to do is do a pinching motion. We're going to start in the middle of our brow, go down to the corner of our eyes. It needs to be a very light pinch, don't grab onto too much skin and we are going to go up and down like this three times. You can do all these exercises separately if you just want to get rid of any puffiness or improve dark circles around your eyes one morning. You can just do this eye massage. I'm going to put my fingers again in a v-shape. The middle finger is going to go in the corner of our eye so we're going to make a v-shape and with very light pressure I'm going to press and release, press and release. We're going to do this two more times. Next we're going to massage our nose. I'm going to take the ring finger and I'm going to go on just the base of our nose and I'm going to go around it three times and then I'm going to push to the bridge of my nose three times and then we're going to go up towards our temple and down to our collarbone. I'm going to go again, push towards the bridge of your nose, up towards your temple and down to your clavicle. We're going to go around our mouth so I'm going to place my fingers on either side of my chin and I'm going to go around my mouth and stop here for a little bit of pressure and do it three times. Now we're going to work on the nasolabial folds and I'm going to place the fingers in the same position. We're going to go gently around the mouth, push towards the inner corners of your eyes, go up to the temple and drain towards your clavicles. We're going to repeat this three times. Make sure that you stop here for a couple of seconds with light pressure and then go up to the temple and down to your collarbone. Next I'm going to place one of my hands just on this side of the face and with the other hand I'm going to go from the chewing muscle here towards the inner corner of my eye, press here a little bit, turn my hand towards my ear and then go down towards my clavicle. Just make sure you are not dragging your skin, make sure you're applying very light pressure. We're going to do this three times. Now we're going to do the other side. Now we're going to work again on those nasolabial folds, so I'm going to press my fingers just on either side of my nose and with light pressure I'm going to go down towards my ears and then down towards my collarbone. Your hands need to be horizontal, stop at the temple, apply a little pressure and then go down. For our next step I'm going to take the base of my hands and I'm going to apply it just in the folds around my mouth and my cheeks and I'm going to relax my neck and I'm going to apply pressure into my hands and you can just hold this position for about three seconds and then we're going to go up towards our ears and down to the collarbone. So push lightly into your hands and drain towards your ears and down your neck. You can also do this exercise by placing your elbows on the top of the table then just lowering your face into your hands. The next thing I'm going to do is place my fingers like that, so this finger is bent. I'm going to pinch my jawline just around my chin and I'm going to go up towards my ears and then we're going to go down. So pinch at the chin, the thumb is on the other side and go down and one more time. Before we were focusing more on this fold of our cheeks, now we are going to place the bases of our hands lower around our mouth and you can do exactly the same thing by just putting your elbows on the table, lowering your face into your hands. Push your face a little bit into your hands and then we are going to go up and drain down. We're going to do that again and when you get to your ears lift up your chin and then drain. Next we're going to work on our jawline and with the base of our hand we're going to press towards our chin and following the jawline we're going to go up and your thumb is just going to go behind your ear. Now we're going to do this three times and then we're going to do the other side exactly the same way. This is great for tightening your jaw, getting rid of any double chin, toning your neck and jawline area. Next I'm going to open up my palms and I'm going to place the thumbs just underneath my chin and I'm going to place the edge of my fingers just on this line here, just underneath my cheekbone and applying a little bit of pressure we're going to slide towards our ears, open our hands and then we're going to slide down the neck towards our collarbone and then we're going to do this motion three times. Make sure there's not much space between your hands and your face and in a continuous motion go towards your ears, open up your hands and go down your neck. We're going to go back to our forehead, a vertical motion. We are going to go towards one temple and then back towards the other temple and I'm going to go back forward three times. To finish off our massage I'm going to place my fingers in the middle of my forehead, I'm going to go down towards my temple, apply some pressure here and go down towards my collarbone and the last thing I'm going to do is a sweeping motion across my forehead, down my neck, towards my shoulder.
