First, apply a hot compress for 2-3 minutes, then apply a cold compress for a few seconds. The compressed package needs to be replaced 5-10 times, and this procedure should be performed no more than 3 times a week.
Facial lifting exercises
Weightlifting gymnastics is another effective cosmetic treatment. It must be done every morning and evening. Before exercising, clean the skin and moisturize the skin with cream. A lesson will not exceed 30 minutes. To start practicing, sit in front of the mirror in a comfortable position. Observing which facial muscles are involved will help you perform the exercises correctly.

- Then place the fingers of both hands on specific points. Place the middle finger in the middle of the forehead, the index finger a little higher, the frontal bulge, and the ring finger against the root of the eyebrows. All fingertips should be facing upwards.

Exercise the upper eyelids. The skin on the eyelid is very delicate and thin, and the first wrinkle is formed on it. In order to prevent this change, it is necessary to:
