My mom taught me a free technique that improves wrinkles – I also make a DIY face mask to brighten and tighten
A BEAUTY fan has revealed how their mom’s inexpensive anti-aging hack has helped to keep their skin youthful.
They said a routine full of skincare products isn’t as effective as their lifestyle tips.
They shared the secret to their ageless appearance on Reddit’s 30 Plus Skincare forum.
MOM’S MASSAGE
Among the Redditor’s list of tips was one they learned from their mom and another that hydrates skin.
“For me, skincare isn’t enough to maintain my skin health,” they said, writing under the handle Aware-2709.
“These tips can help you to improve wrinkles.”
The beauty fan raved about exercising regularly, drinking water, and green tea for its antioxidant properties.
They make a DIY face mask using egg white with “tightening and brightening” benefits.
“My mom also taught me the technique of facial lifting massage it’s different from yoga massage which uses wide circular strokes,” they said.
“Massage along the sides of your jaw, past the corners of your mouth, next to your nostrils, and over your cheekbones, creating upward lifting.”
The Redditor linked to a blog post on Abigail James, explaining that face massages can reduce puffiness, lift, and increase skin cell turnover.
According to the post, optimal results are achieved by doing a face massage for 10 to 20 minutes once a week.
“I also added to my skincare routine by sleeping on a satin pillowcase,” the Redditor said.
“You will get better results if you can sleep on a smooth surface like a satin.
“You want to be on the lookout for fabrics that are hypoallergenic.
“Satin creates less friction on your skin, so it doesn’t fold up or tug on your skin while you sleep preventing the famous sleep wrinkles and keeping your skin healthy and hydrated while you sleep.”
They linked to Olki Beauty’s satin pillowcase, which is currently reduced to $38.95.
