Effective Facial Massage Tips for Slimmer Cheeks

High cheekbones can make women appear older than their actual age and affect their confidence. That’s why many women turn to facial massage techniques to refine their features and achieve a more youthful look. Join The East Rose Dental Clinic to discover effective cheek-slimming massage tips you can try at home!

Cheekbone-lowering massage method with moisturizer

According to aesthetic experts, high cheekbones occur when the cheekbones are higher than the nose and close to the lower eyelids, or tend to shift outward, causing the face to lose harmony and appear prematurely aged. This cheekbone massage method not only helps improve the appearance of high cheekbones but also promotes blood circulation and enhances the skin's firmness and elasticity.

The bone-shaping cheekbone slimming massage is performed through the following steps:

• Step 1: Wash your hands and face thoroughly to remove dirt and bacteria from your skin.
• Step 2: Choose skincare products made from natural herbal extracts, such as peppermint, chamomile, and birch, and evenly rub them between your hands.
• Step 3: Gently apply the cream evenly onto your face. Close your fingers, with your palms facing inward towards your eyes, and start massaging from the nose down to the temples.
• Step 4: Continue by bending your index finger into a "C" shape and massage the cheekbone area from the inside out. Then, fold your hand and use the back of your hand to massage from under the chin up to the cheekbones. Repeat these massage steps about 30 times and continue consistently for one month. 

Bone-shaping method for cheekbone slimming

The bone-shaping method for slimming cheekbones is widely used and can effectively improve the appearance of high cheekbones. However, consistency and long-term practice are key to seeing results. The method is performed as follows:

• ●    Use your index, middle, and ring fingers of the left hand and place them near the temples.
• ●    Apply firm pressure with your fingers and gradually move them down your face, across the front of the ear, down your neck, and below the collarbone.
• ●    Place your thumb between the cheekbone and nose, apply pressure, and move your hand up and down around the cheek area. Keep your hand in place, continue applying firm pressure, and move your hand to both sides (below the cheekbones). As your hand moves toward the ear, reduce the pressure gradually.
• ●    Continue pressing your thumb on the lower cheekbone and move slowly outward along the sides of your face, up to the temples. When you reach the ears, gradually reduce the pressure with both hands.

Jawbone massage for cheekbone slimming

The jawbone massage method is another popular technique shared by many women to help lower high cheekbones. This method helps balance and harmonize the face. Here’s how to do it:

• ●    Gently rub both hands from the front of the ears down to the jawbone area.
• ●    Place your thumbs in the center of your lower jaw, close your fingers, and position them along the sides of your nose, as if you are about to shout.
• ●    Gradually move your fingers outward toward the temples, then massage along both sides of your ears down to the collarbone area. Perform this routine consistently for 15 minutes a day to see results.

Other methods for slimming cheekbones

In addition to the cheekbone-lowering massage techniques, there are many other effective methods to enhance the appearance of your cheekbones. You can explore the following options to find the method that best suits you.

Cheekbone-lowering exercises

Performing cheekbone-lowering exercises is a simple method that can be done every morning after you wake up. Here are the steps:

• Step 1: Sit up straight, extend your chin forward, and make sure the lower jaw teeth touch the upper lip. Repeat this 30 times.
• Step 2: Pout your lips forward, then lower them as much as possible while puffing out your cheeks. This exercise helps to make the facial muscles more flexible and significantly lowers the cheekbones.

Makeup for slimming cheekbones

Makeup is an effective method to instantly achieve a balanced, harmonious face. Women with high cheekbones can use these makeup tips to conceal the imperfection:

• Cleanse your face and apply foundation evenly.
• Contour, focusing on highlighting the eye area.
• Apply bronzer (dark contour) from the edge of the ears to the cheekbones and blend evenly. Continue with your usual makeup routine.

Combining a proper diet

Weight gain is one of the reasons for high cheekbones. Therefore, adjusting your diet is a simple and effective way to lower cheekbones. You can:

• Step 1: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and vegetable smoothies.
• Step 2: Increase your vitamin intake through vegetables and fruits, and incorporate more fiber-rich foods into your diet.

Golki Therapy

Golki therapy originates from South Korea and was introduced in 2017. This massage method should be performed by skilled professionals to significantly improve imperfections in the cheekbones and create a more harmonious face. Although it is a non-invasive technique, it requires clients to visit treatment centers, as it cannot be done at home.

Therefore, The East Rose Dental Clinic has compiled simple and effective massage tips to help slim cheekbones. While these methods may not fully meet your expectations, you can consider surgical options for a quicker way to achieve your desired facial appearance.
