Natural facelift: essential techniques

Dreaming of a natural facelift without surgery? It's possible, thanks to massage techniques, targeted exercises, innovative tools, and plant-based active ingredients with firming and anti-aging properties.

Discover the different solutions to reduce wrinkles in just a few minutes and restore smoother skin. In addition to achieving a lifted and reshaped face, treat yourself to a captivating and relaxing moment of well-being, in a salon or at home.

Why choose a natural facelift?

With age, the production of collagen (a protein naturally present in tissues, responsible for the elasticity and tone of the skin, among other things) slows down. The skin then becomes thinner, fragile, lacking in firmness, and wrinkles and fine lines may appear.

The natural facelift combines several techniques without surgery or injections, to maintain a harmonious face filled with light while taking care of your emotional well-being.

Unlike surgical procedures that involve medical interventions and operations, 100% natural lifting methods are risk-free for health and are suitable for everyone.

Natural facelift techniques work deep within the muscles and improve skin quality for an immediate youthful effect. Treatments can be performed in a salon or at home, depending on the method chosen.

The different techniques of natural face lifting

There are several methods and tips for taking care of your face and boosting its firmness naturally.

Let yourself be taken on a captivating journey where you can enjoy a moment for yourself, thanks to unique beauty and well-being rituals for relaxed skin and mind.

Facial massages with a face lift effect

These are manual massages that are both stimulating and gentle and effective for toning the face with precise and controlled maneuvers:

• Kobido : This treatment, which translates as "ancient way of beauty," was invented over 500 years ago in Japan. This ancestral technique is becoming popular in Europe, particularly in treatment centers and institutes. Kobido has regenerative and radiance-boosting properties; it slows down skin aging, promotes collagen production, and reduces tension. Targeted maneuvers are performed on the entire face with different pressures and gestures for a guaranteed draining, lifting, and anti-aging effect.
• Face sculpting: a toning massage that primarily tones the lower part of the face and eliminates toxins. The smoothing movements relax and firm the face for a deep lifting effect thanks to muscle work.
• Facial Shiatsu: This “Japanese facelift” involves stimulating acupuncture points in several areas: face, neck, skull, shoulders, arms and chest, for a complete rebalancing that will affect both the appearance of the skin and inner well-being. The body’s general energy is stabilized, and the nervous, blood and lymphatic systems are improved. The skin is visibly smoother and more luminous, and the effects are also felt on the psyche and emotions: less stress and anxiety, better quality sleep…

Rollers or Gua sha for face lifting

These are tools specifically designed to deeply massage muscles, firm tissues, and brighten the face. Several models and shapes are available, made from lithotherapy stones with different benefits for the skin:

• Gua sha: a natural stone tool, most often rose quartz or jade, used in traditional Chinese medicine. Its ergonomic shape is designed to best fit the contours of the face. In massage, the Gua sha stimulates acupressure points, drains the lymphatic systems, boosts blood circulation, and relaxes muscles. Cells are oxygenated, wrinkles, fine lines, and dark circles are reduced, and the skin is smoother and firmer. The Gua sha can be used daily in synergy with a cream or oil, with smoothing movements from bottom to top on the face, neck, and eye area.
• Rollers: As with Gua sha, rollers are mainly made of Rose Quartz or Jade. They are quick and easy to use and provide a relaxing massage to naturally reveal the beauty of the face. They allow a product (serum, oil, cream, etc.) to penetrate while improving skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of pores, and diminishing wrinkles and fine lines through smoothing movements from the bottom up and from the inside out. Rollers are convenient to use and offer an even complexion, a decongested eye area, and radiant skin at home.

Exercises to firm the face and reduce wrinkles

Yoga and facial gymnastics are face-lifting exercises that can be practiced daily to work the muscles of the head and neck, loosen the tissues and firm them:

• Facial gymnastics: exaggerated facial movements to smooth features and reduce wrinkles. Pursing lips, forcing a smile, sucking in air, raising eyebrows... several methods to practice in the morning and/or evening for visible results.
• Facial yoga: Exercises to firm areas prone to sagging to tone and improve blood circulation. Facial yoga combines several self-massage techniques using hands, a gua sha tool, or a roller to relieve tension and stimulate collagen production. Similar to a body yoga session, this treatment has a positive impact on emotional well-being and relaxation.

Natural care with anti-aging properties

Many natural active ingredients are known for their anti-aging and firming properties. They can be used in oil form, or incorporated into creams or serums:

• Bakuchiol: A natural alternative to retinol (a powerful antioxidant), this active ingredient is used in skincare oils and cosmetics for its benefits on mature skin. It helps combat skin aging, improve skin firmness, smooth wrinkles and fine lines, and stimulate collagen production.
• Rosehip Oil: Its regenerative and anti-aging properties are recommended for reducing wrinkles, improving skin elasticity, and fading scars and marks. Its scent is sweet and relaxing.
• Aloe vera: In gel form, it can be applied to the skin as an alternative to anti-wrinkle and moisturizing creams. Aloe vera helps slow down skin aging and has skin-lifting properties.
• Collagen: Naturally present in human body tissues, collagen levels gradually decline with age. Cosmetic laboratories have created an active ingredient integrated into creams and serums to maintain skin elasticity and firm it. There are several types of collagen on the market; for an ethical and 100% natural approach, choose marine or plant-based collagen, made from algae or plant extracts.
• Caffeine: This active ingredient stimulates the epidermis and fights against sagging skin. It promotes the elimination of dead cells for smoother skin, and restores firmness to the skin while boosting blood circulation.

Remember to check the composition of your products

Certain ingredients found in conventional cosmetics are suspected of acting as endocrine disruptors : parabens, phthalates, silicones, and even chemical UV filters. These substances can unbalance the hormonal system, irritate the skin, and accelerate skin aging. For a truly healthy beauty routine, it's best to avoid them and favor natural formulas. Discover the list of ingredients to avoid.

What to remember

In addition to improving the quality and beauty of your skin, a natural facelift is a real moment of well-being and reconnection with yourself. Welcome it as a gift to your body and mind.

Whether in a salon or at home, take the opportunity to take care of your face and enjoy the relaxation and serenity that come from this unique moment.

Create a ritual that suits you, that takes your needs into account, and you will automatically feel better, more beautiful and luminous, in harmony with your emotions.
