My grandmother had the most beautiful flawless translucent skin.
I used to sit in front of the dresser mirror with her. Before putting on her blush, loose powder, and lipstick, she did little exercises with her face. Pushing parts of his face in one way or another. Hanging upside down on the bed. Sticking out tongue. Generally making faces.
I would imitate her and we would both laugh a lot. It was fun and entertaining when I was little, but now I realize why I had beautiful, flawless, translucent skin. She was working on it.
As we both grew older, I began to notice that her face still had a youthful appearance. I realized this most when I was entertaining a group of friends the same age. I’m pretty sure they didn’t do the grandmother’s facial exercises. I remember those exercises and I am going to share some of them today in this article.
One that I remember well is the one he did with his dark circles. Using both hands, he placed the first three fingers of each hand under his eyes. He said you have to be very careful because the skin under the eye is the most delicate and easily damaged skin on the body. Keeping her eyes open, she used her fingers to gently lift the skin under her eyes. It would hold the count of ten. Then she would remove her fingers, letting the skin under her eyes relax for a count of ten. She repeated this twenty-five times. This prevented blood from pooling, he said. That blood is what makes the under eye area appear dark.
The next one is done eye to eye. Place the first two fingers of your left hand over the left eye on the brow bone. Place the thumb of your left hand under the left eye, just above the cheekbone. Now try winking your left eye. Do this wink exercise fifty times on each side. Now for the neck. This can make you a bit dizzy, so plan to do this when you have a few minutes to regain your balance. Lie on your back on a bed or sofa or anything that allows you to hang your head up and down. Now raise your head slowly and hold at least ten. Up to twenty counts would increase the benefits of this exercise if you can. Repeat this fifteen to twenty times. This will firm your neck and jawline. It also works to tighten the double chin over time.
These beauty tricks will enhance your appearance if you do them regularly. As a bonus, the above techniques can be used to entertain young children. Happy laugh lines to you.
