What is the Chinese Spoon Massage? 

For years, facial massage techniques have been recognized as effective methods of reducing and preventing early signs of aging, manifested in the appearance of dark circles, concaved eyes and loss of elasticity of the skin. In a trend that began to break out in recent years, The Chinese spoons massage has joined the ranks of other known and common facial massage methods. The treatment is based on facial massage done by pulling two Chinese spoons along the skin and applying pressure on various key points. At first, the technique spread only across Asia, but today people from all over the world can be found practicing it using regular kitchen spoons, which is evidence of the effectiveness and benefits of applying moderate pressure to the skin.

Benefits of the method 

As a general rule, facial massage is commonly attributed to a wide range of benefits that preserve and promote the health of the skin. First, the pulling movements help increase blood flow to the facial skin tissue, giving the skin a radiant, healthier look. In addition, applying moderate pressure to various points in the face helps to remove excess fluids and infections that accumulate in the tissue and aids in accelerating the absorption of natural nutrients in the skin. 

Another excellent advantage is the ability of the facial massage to elasticize the skin, which helps prevent and reduce wrinkles. All these advantages can also be attributed to the Chinese spoon massage, however, this technique is also very attractive to many because of the relative ease of doing it to oneself in the comfort of one’s home, with little investment of both time and money.

So how do you do it? 

The Chinese spoon massage is easy to perform and usually doesn’t require more than 10 minutes a day. Many suggest that the earliest results of the massage should occur after about ten days, but this depends on the type of skin and its state of health. 

What do you need? 

Two kitchen spoons – make sure to look the spoons over and check carefully that they don’t have a pointed tip that can scratch and injure the skin of the face. 

Alcohol for disinfection 

1 cup cold water 

3 ice cubes 

1 cup olive oil - olive oil is known as a great natural addition to your daily grooming routine, providing a wide range of different health benefits. Among other things, olive oil contains antioxidants that work against free radicals that damage the skin tissue, helps eliminate the accumulation of excess fat and provides moisture absorbed through the skins pores, which gives it a smooth and pleasant texture.

How to do it: 

 1. The treatment is recommended to perform before bedtime after carefully cleaning the face of makeup and dirt that has accumulated throughout the day. 

2. Sterilize the 2 spoons with alcohol and set them in a glass of water with ice for about 10 minutes. 

3. Then, close your eyes and place the cooled spoons on the upper eyelid area for approximately 15 seconds.
 

4. Cool the 2 spoons in the water cup for about 15 seconds and repeat this action 5 more times and then 6 times more on the lower eyelid area as a treatment for swollen eyes and dark circles. 

5. When you finish the first part, place the spoons in a cup of olive oil at room temperature or alternatively slightly warmed. If you decide to heat up the oil a bit, prevent burns and other risks by making sure it isn’t too hot. 

 6. Now treat the rest of the face. Move the backs of the spoons along the nose and from the nasal area to the cheeks, in circular movements from the chin and sides of the lips along the cheeks, from the center of the eyebrows along the forehead, around the eye sockets and from the base of the neck to the chin.

7. Repeat each movement between 5 and 10 times, keeping the spoons lubricated to maximize the effectiveness of the pull movements and prevent superficial injuries to the skin. 

8. After treatment, wait 5 minutes for the olive oil to be absorbed into the skin, and then wash your face with warm water.

10 of Grandma’s Home Remedies for Mature and Loose Skin

Our skin’s appearance and qualities constantly change throughout life. Already in our 20s, we see wrinkles around the eyes, which then spreads to the rest of our face, and in later stages, we notice changes in our facial structure which are tied to a slow drooping of the skin. 

 

Along with these natural changes, changes in the appearance of the skin are also related to a host of negative factors that we are exposed to throughout life: excessive exposure to sun, smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, poor nutrition, and more. Although there are many expensive treatments on the market, there are also natural solutions that can prevent and delay the damage caused to the skin, and help it look tighter and smoother. The following 10 natural remedies can treat various symptoms associated with loose and drooping skin.

1. Lemon - to increase the production of collagen 

 

 

Throughout the aging process of the skin, collagen, the protein responsible for the skin's elasticity and tightness, goes through changes that slow down its processes and cause the skin to lose its elasticity and moisture, creating a more lax appearance. The vitamin C in lemon helps increase collagen production, which helps tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles and other early signs of aging. 

 

Squeeze fresh lemon juice, and gently rub it against the skin of the face and neck with your hands. 

 

Wait for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse your face with water. Repeat between 2 and 3 times a day. 

 

You can also add juice from half a lemon to a glass of cold water and spray the mixture on a wet face. Allow the mixture to dry for a few minutes and then wash it.

2. Aloe Vera – to firm up the skin  

 

 

 Natural aloe vera is one of the best solutions for firming up loose skin. This is due to malic acid, an acid-regulating substance that is abundant in aloe vera, which helps strengthen the skin and adds natural moisture to it. 

 

Gently rub a teaspoon of aloe gel on the face and neck or on any other area. 

 

Wait 15-20 minutes and rinse your face with lukewarm water. 

 

Repeat several times a week.

3. Cucumber – to tighten loose skin 

In order to tighten loose skin, it is strongly recommended to use a face mask that includes cucumber. This vegetable has a positive effect on strengthening the connective tissue of the skin cells and therefore helps to keep the skin in place and doesn’t allow it to succumb to gravity.

Grate half a cucumber and strain the gratings to collect the resulting juice. 

 

Dip a cotton pad in the juice and wipe your entire face with it. After the skin has dried, wash it with cool water. 

Do this once a day. 

 

At the same time, you can also make a face mask on the basis of cucumber with two tablespoons of fresh cucumber juice, an egg white and 3 drops of vitamin E. Apply the mask on the skin of the face and neck, wait 15 minutes and then rinse the skin with cold water.

4. Olive oil - to keep skin smooth and shiny 

 

Massaging the face and neck with olive oil helps make loose and wrinkled skin smoother, and restore its glow. This is due to antioxidants such as vitamin A and vitamin E found in olive oil which turn it into a natural and effective anti-aging product. 

Heat some extra virgin olive oil in the microwave and apply it to the face after making sure it’s not too hot. 

 

Massage the face in circular movements with your fingertips for 10 minutes. 

 

Repeat once a day before bedtime. Other natural oils that can be used as a substitute for olive oil are avocado oil, coconut oil, grape oil, jojoba or almond oil. 

 

All oils are effective for loose skin not only of the facial area but also of the hands and feet.

5. Honey - to add moisture and color to the skin 

Honey contains antioxidants and is characterized by anti-aging properties that together help moisturize mature and dry skin and eliminate the pale and unnatural appearance that may characterize it.

Mix 2-3 teaspoons of honey with a few drops of lemon juice. Apply the solution to the face and neck or arms and legs. Allow it to dry and then rinse the skin with warm water. 

 

Repeat once or twice a day for the best results. 

 

You can also mix half a tablespoon of honey with a teaspoon of turmeric powder, apply the mixture on the face for 15 minutes, rinse it with lukewarm water and then splash a little cold water on the face. This mask should be used once a week.

6. Rose water - for taut and glowing skin 

Rose water is a liquid that causes skin cells and enlarged pores to shrink, especially in the facial area, making it very useful for the appearance of taut skin and in fighting infections. In addition, rose water also helps the skin maintain its natural glow. 

 

In order to enjoy the benefits of rose water, you can wash your face with it before bedtime, or mix it with a few drops of almond oil into a mask that you keep on your face for about 20 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water.

7. Baking soda – to soften worn out skin 

 

Mature skin changes not only in its appearance but also in the way it feels. Baking soda helps mature skin become soft by removing dead skin cells and tightening the pores. 

 

Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with water. 

 

If you have not tried the treatment before, start by applying the solution to a small patch of skin on the inside of the elbow, and wait to see that you don’t have a reaction to it 

 

If all is well, massage the solution on your face or any other areas for a few minutes. 

 

Wait a few more minutes and rinse the skin with lukewarm water. This can be done once a week.

8. Cinnamon – to restore the natural elasticity of the skin 

 

 

While the natural elasticity of young skin helps it "stay" in place, reduced collagen production causes the skin to lose this feature resulting in sagginess. Cinnamon helps restore the skin's natural elasticity, thereby contributing to a younger appearance. 

 

Mix one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, half teaspoon salt and 2 drops of olive oil into a salve. 

 

Rub the salve gently on the face and neck area for a few minutes, then rinse it off with lukewarm water. 

 

Use this natural exfoliator once or twice a week.

9. Milk - to restore skin vitality  

One of the problems of mature skin is that it often looks dry and lifeless. Milk and other dairy products have earned a place of respect in skin care thanks to their high protein and antiseptic content, and they can be used to prevent the accumulation and promote the removal of dead skin cells. You can use plain milk, but it is recommended to use yogurt or camel milk. 

 

Use a cotton round to apply the dairy product of your choice to your face. Let it sit on your skin for 15-30 minutes. 

 

Rinse it off with lukewarm water and wipe your face dry.

10. Strawberry - to improve the overall appearance of mature skin 

 

 

Mature skin may look dull and thin, and may also be more sensitive to the touch and less weather-resistant. Because they are rich in vitamin C, strawberries work just like disinfectants on the skin. In addition, they also contain alpha-hydroxyl acids that enhance the overall appearance of mature skin. 

 

Mash 2-3 ripe strawberries and mix them with a teaspoon of yogurt and a teaspoon of honey. 

 

Place the mixture on the desired area, wait 5 minutes, and then rinse with lukewarm water. 

 

Repeat once a day, and you’ll start noticing changes in your skin’s appearance after a few weeks.
