Spoons Can Do Wonders for Your Skin

The health and appearance of our facial skin are crucial, and they largely depend on proper blood flow. A facial massage can boost blood and lymphatic activity, leading to fewer wrinkles, reduced eye bags, and a refreshed appearance with improved skin tone. In the Far East, a unique massage technique has been developed - the spoon and water massage - that can be easily done at home. This method is widely practiced in Japan, Korea, and China and has now gained popularity in Europe as well. To save you the trouble of traveling far for this treatment and to help you achieve great results, we have compiled a list of ten exercises that can help reduce, eliminate, and prevent wrinkles on your facial skin.

spoons Can Do Wonders for Your Skin

Before we begin...

To perform massage exercises that can help reduce swelling and eliminate bags under the eyes, all you need are two spoons that have been tested and found to be free of sharp edges or grooves, along with a glass of hot water and a glass of cold water. The use of both hot and cold temperatures promotes better blood circulation and stimulates nerve endings. It's essential to follow some hygiene rules, like disinfecting the spoons and storing them separately from your other cutlery.
Before each treatment, clean your facial skin, apply oil or moisturizer, and perform the massage gently without applying excessive force. The ideal time to perform these exercises is in the morning, and be mindful of the temperature of the spoons, which should be warm and comfortable to the touch.

1. Eliminate the bags under your eyes and reduce puffiness

If you want to eliminate the bags under your eyes, simply take two cold spoons and place them on the convex side under your eyes. Then, move them up, down, and sideways for a minute or two, as shown in the left picture. To reduce swelling, close your eyes and place two cold spoons on them for a few minutes. Let the spoons warm up slowly, dip them in cold water again, and repeat the process about 5-7 times.

3. Eliminate wrinkles at the sides of the eyes

To get rid of wrinkles on the sides of your eyes, try a similar technique with a cold spoon. Place it on the sides of your eyes and move it gently in a circular motion. Repeat this process for a few minutes every day to see results. To reduce wrinkles around your eyes, try using the cold spoon method. Simply place two spoons on the convex side of the outer edges of your eyes and move them in a circular motion toward your temples with increasing pressure. Switch to warm spoons and repeat the exercise five times, alternating between spoon types each time.

To eliminate forehead wrinkles, take two warm spoons and place them on the center of your forehead, convex side down. Move them in circular motions towards your temples, or stretch the skin with the spoons without circular movements. Repeat the process and reheat the spoons when they cool down, making the total massage time about 3 minutes.

This exercise is designed for people who want to protect the skin of their chest, especially women who walk with cleavage. To perform this exercise, place your palms on the solar plexus area and massage your chest in circular motions toward your collarbones. Then, alternate between hot and cold spoons to complete the massage. For those who have tight neck muscles, using a warm spoon and gently moving it toward the collarbone can help relax these muscles. Repeat this on both sides about 10 times for best results.

In conclusion...

If you have rosacea, lymphatic system issues, prominent veins, or skin infections, it is crucial to seek medical advice before attempting these exercises. However, if you don't have any of these problems, it is advisable to perform these massage exercises daily. If you are unable to do so, create a schedule that fits your routine, as long as it is consistent and regular.
