There is a rejuvenating facial massage, which was created by a Japanese beautician, called Yukuko Tanaka, which promises to reduce the signs of age, such as wrinkles, sagging, double chin and dull skin, without the need to use anti-aging creams.
This massage of about 3 minutes long, should be done every day, before bed, with a cream adapted to the type of skin or a sweet almond oil, for example, so that you can better perform the movements. In two weeks, you can already see visible results, less flabby skin and more beautiful and luminous.
The massage, if performed correctly, stimulates the lymph nodes and helps to remove excess toxins from the face. In addition, it promotes lymphatic drainage, also helping to reduce swelling, also improving the appearance of dark circles and puffiness in the eyes.
