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.

I started thinking about aging and I starting thinking about what that means.

Personally, to me, what is 55 now? What is 65?

I am 55 and do I have crows feet, yes? Is my body changing a little bit, for sure?

But, I also feel like I am young on a lot of levels.

In some ways getting older has power, right?

You learn more of who you are who you want to be in the world and who you want to put your energy into.

It is easier to say no.

All my thinking about this has brought me to looking into how I approach this subject in the treatment room.

How, I take a holistic approach to my facial treatments by creating facials and use modalities that help stimulate collagen and elasticity.

By doing lymphatic drainage to help facilitate your bodies natural healing process.

By using guasha to help tone muscles and create circulation as well.

I am turning 56 in three weeks and I have a gift for you, my newest facial cleanser concoction.

As always,

Live In Beauty.
