Collagen, Collagen, Collagen!! Everyone is always focusing on Collagen.

But the other piece to making your skin more youthful is elastin fibers.

Elastin is a 3D meshwork that responds to all directions keeping the skin taught.

It is a network of resilient stretchable fiber.

Fun fact: dark chocolate can help elastin fibers.

But, so does massage.

And lucky for everyone I have been diving into facial restructuring massage.

I have been learning some deeper myofacial release that targets more of the fascia under the skin and the muscles helping to reduce tension that is held in the fibers from facial expressions and how we hold our face.

We tend to overuse some muscles. Sometimes we underuse facial muscles as well.

So this deeper facial work can help to alleviate areas we hold to tight in the face and stimulate underused muscles to help your face look and feel different.
