Instructions for cold massage
A cold spoon is designed to treat circles and bags under the eyes. To do this, before the procedure, the instrument is cooled in finely crushed ice.
Remove makeup from the face and apply moisturizer. Two tablespoons are disinfected in alcohol and soaked in ice water. The cooled massage instrument is applied to the upper eyelid and held for several seconds. The second spoon is used for the lower eyelid area. The procedure reduces puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
Dip a cold spoon into warm oil and begin the massage. The cutlery is moved along the massage lines, pressing lightly on the skin. The technique is the same as for the hot procedure (video below).
If the spoon does not glide across the surface of the skin, use more oil base. The massage takes about ten minutes.
The first procedure lasts 1-2 minutes, the same amount is added every day. After 10 days, the procedure will take 10 minutes. With the correct technique, you can feel the relaxation of the facial muscles immediately after the first use.
Jowls and nasolabial folds are formed from constantly tense muscles; a cold spoon helps them relax. Constant use of the original technique helps not only to get rid of wrinkles on the skin and sagging cheeks, but also to feel a pleasant feeling of relief from tension in the face.

The secret of combined massage
Silver spoons bring benefits during massage; they have a positive effect on skin cells. Manipulations with cold and hot metal stimulate nerve endings - the skin comes to life and returns to normal. Under the influence of different temperatures, essential, vegetable oils, serums, creams are absorbed deeper and faster into the epidermis. Alternating hot and cold spoons revitalizes, saturates, moisturizes and nourishes the skin. Combined massage with spoons has a positive effect on the appearance of the face. The procedure reduces swelling - removes excess fluid under the skin, improves blood and lymph circulation, and maintains a rejuvenating effect.

Massage with spoons
It is a massage practice common in Europe, Japan, and China. In the Celestial Empire, this procedure is carried out with devices that have a different shape from standard spoons. The popularity of this massage, proposed as a healing and rejuvenating procedure by the German doctor Rene Koch, lies in its simplicity and ease of learning.
Massage with spoons has the following positive effects:
- relieves puffiness and dark circles;
- reduces the severity of nasolabial folds;
- tightens the oval and contour of the face;
- rejuvenates and tones the epidermis;
- removes excess fluid and improves blood circulation.
The effectiveness of the procedure is due to the use of warm and cold spoons. Cooled devices relieve swelling and inflammation, while warm ones eliminate a network of fine wrinkles and a double chin, giving the facial contour a clear outline. The ability of metal to maintain temperature and certain movements carried out by spoons stimulate nerve endings, which causes a rejuvenating effect.
What is needed for a spoon massage?
Accessibility is the main advantage of this type of massage. To conduct a session, you only need a few items:
- Two dessert spoons or teaspoons. It is better to take silver ones, which demonstrate antioxidant effects. If silver is not available, cupronickel will do. It is permissible to use steel appliances, but the effect will be much less pronounced.
- Containers with cold and hot water. They are needed to heat and cool spoons. It is better to use not just water, but chamomile infusion or green tea. To keep the decoction (water, tea) cold, put ice cubes in it.
- Cream or oil. If preference is given to the latter, then for dry skin take flax or jojoba oil, for oily and combination skin - almond, sesame or hazelnut, and for normal skin - peach, olive, apricot.
Oils or cream can be applied both to the skin and to a spoon. You can use natural flower honey. The main thing is to first conduct an allergy test.
Preparing for the session
When all the necessary tools and resources are ready, you should allocate at least 20 minutes to the procedure in your morning schedule. In the morning, the skin is most susceptible to any manipulation. It is imperative to take into account the fact that the spoons used for massage should serve only this purpose. To avoid infection, devices are sterilized. Each spoon is dipped in alcohol both before and after the session, wrapped in clean gauze and put away.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed before the massage. Makeup removal is not included in the preparatory steps, except in situations where it is postponed to the evening due to lack of time. For the first time, be sure to carefully monitor the temperature of the devices, especially hot ones. Otherwise you may get burned. In subsequent sessions, this need will simply disappear, as an understanding will come of what temperature of the liquid is most comfortable.
Spoon massage technique for face
Contains several exercises. Each is designed to solve a specific problem. They can be used individually or in combination. It all depends on the condition of the skin and expectations from the procedure.
Against crow's feet
An excellent exercise against facial wrinkles. It tightens the epidermis. It requires the mandatory use of not only spoons, but also an age cream that matches your skin type. A properly selected product will enhance the achieved effect.
Heated spoons are applied to the outer corners of the eyes. The devices are moved in a circular motion to the temporal region. Hold for two to four seconds. This action is repeated exactly three times. Further, similar manipulations are performed using cold spoons, but only once.
Against puffiness of the eyelids
Perfectly eliminates swelling of the eyes and drooping eyelids, and also tightens the skin in this area. It should be taken into account that this exercise is not recommended when there are rashes or redness on the skin.
You can get rid of swelling only with the help of cold spoons. Do not use hot ones. Apply the spoons three or four times for a few seconds, and then remove them. It is advisable to do the procedure separately, that is, first for the upper eyelids, and then for the lower ones.
For bags and circles under the eyes
The exercise tightens and tones the skin around the eyes, eliminates signs of fatigue that appear in circles and bags, and makes the look clear and fresh.
A couple of chilled spoons are placed on the inner corners of the eyes. The devices are moved to the temples, making wave-like movements. Press three times on the temporal bones. You can't use force. The pressure should be light. In a wave-like movement they move to the ears. Hold for four to seven seconds, return to the starting point and stop a little again. These movements are repeated three times.
For wrinkles between eyebrows
The habit of frowning leads to the formation of characteristic folds between the eyebrow arches. This exercise allows you to make it more invisible or prevent the appearance of wrinkles in this area.
Hot spoons are applied to the space between the eyebrows. Do six presses. They rise up the forehead. Repeat the same action, but with a cold spoon. At least three repetitions must be done.
Smoothing wrinkles on the forehead
There are three exercises to help get rid of small and larger wrinkles covering the forehead. They can be used independently of each other or together for maximum effect.
Option 1
A hot spoon is lubricated with oil and applied to the base of the eyebrow arches. Using circular movements, move the devices to the very temples. Repeat the exercise at least ten times.
Option 2
One heated spoon is applied to the temples, making three circular movements, drawing a spiral. Bring the device along the surface of the forehead to the opposite temple and again “outline” the spiral “pattern”. Take a second hot spoon and repeat the whole action again, but moving on the other side.
Option 3
A couple of hot spoons are placed to the center of the forehead, and, moving at the same time, they bring the utensils to the temples, drawing a kind of zigzag in different directions. When they reach the temporal lobes, press these points six times. Do a similar action, but using cold spoons.
Against nasolabial folds
Even shallow wrinkles in the folds between the nose and lips age you literally by ten years. They make the facial expression sad and gloomy, and the person looks much older than his real age. You can get rid of this flaw using one of three massage exercises with spoons, which are done individually or in combination.
Option 1
A heated spoon is applied to the area above the upper lip and moved in a spiral motion along the surface of the cheeks to the earlobe. Repeat this manipulation, but from the lower lip. This action is performed at least five times.
Option 2
Anti-aging cream, that is, against wrinkles, is applied to a heated spoon. The mouth is opened as if pronouncing the letter “o”. The device is applied to the wing of the nose, brought in a circular motion to the lips, and returned to the starting point. Repeat the same manipulation on the other side. You can use two spoons at once. The exercise is done three times.
Option 3
Cheeks puff out. Without applying any force, they are hit with ten blows. The manipulation is repeated four times. The main thing is to change the cooled spoon to a heated one after each pass.
For pink blush
The exercise returns a natural rosy and healthy tint to the cheeks. This allows you to literally look younger, since it is the blush that rejuvenates and revitalizes your appearance.
The spoon is dipped into the heated oil and passed along four lines:
- from the chin to the earlobes;
- from the upper lip to the ears;
- from the nose to the temporal lobe;
- from the chin to the cheekbones, and then to the temples.
The entire cycle is repeated ten or more times, immersing the device in the oil when it is completely absorbed.
For double chin and wrinkles on the neck
Allows you to eliminate sagging and sagging necks, which reveal true age even without wrinkles on the face. The exercise is also recommended as a preventive measure.
Lubricate a warm spoon with cosmetic oil or cream. The product must be taken according to your skin type. Otherwise the result will be minimal. Making rotational movements, they rise from the bottom of the neck to the chin. The action is repeated at least three times.
Course duration
The effectiveness of spoon massage is comparable only to the use of expensive anti-aging cosmetic products. This is only true when sessions are performed daily. The results do not become noticeable immediately, but only after 2-3 weeks. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body.
The above complex takes from 10 to 20 minutes. Repeating each exercise up to 3 times allows you to enhance the positive impact you receive. If there is not enough time, then on weekdays you can do one at a time, and on weekends - several cycles. The main thing is that massage should be performed every day.
Summarizing
Spoon massage is an excellent means of prolonging youth and preserving beauty. You just need to find 10-20 minutes in your schedule for your loved one, and in just half a month you can enjoy your own reflection.

A massage would be helpful silver spoons. If the material of the instruments is silver, the surface will be enriched with antioxidants, and nutrients will penetrate deep into the skin. Stainless steel is also suitable, the main conditions are cleanliness of the instruments and an accurate diagram.
Basic method
Standard technology is performed using stroking, tapping and pressing movements. They are performed with a medium degree of pressure; it is important to avoid deformation of the dermis and excessive pressure.
- The procedure begins with the area around the eyes, after several strokes on one side - everything is repeated symmetrically on the other;
- Then draw lines from top to bottom from the ear, tension is relieved;
- Next, the bridge of the nose and forehead area are involved, lines extend from the nasolabial folds to the side;
- Finally they start on the neck and décolleté. The first session will last about five minutes, the next one will increase slightly.
The devices are immersed in a cold mixture: water or herbal decoction with ice. This technique works with pigmentation (reduces bruising, constricts blood vessels), improves skin tone, swelling of the eyelids, dark circles under the eyes and near the nose go away. The cold surface relieves irritation and soothes the skin. In the morning, such a massage invigorates and tones. It is important to maintain an average temperature; if the instruments are icy, there is a risk of chilling the nerves and causing herpes.

During therapy with hot spoons, the pores are steamed and become susceptible to the effects. The sculpture is created independently: outlines, contour. After dipping into warm water or tincture, check the temperature, smooth out wrinkles in the direction from the bridge of the nose to the temples.
You need to monitor the water temperature and immediately wipe your face dry after the procedure, otherwise the water will quickly cool down and the massage will lose effectiveness.
Often open, these areas require equal care. The neck and décolleté are more voluminous areas; the pattern involves movements from the chin to the ears, then down. They should not be completely relaxed, a little tone is needed, then the skin will be taut, making it easy to work with. In these places you only need warm utensils, it is better to add olive oil.
For the nasolabial triangle
The structure can naturally change due to active facial expressions, this can be corrected with natural plastic surgery. The movements must be synchronous, both hands work simultaneously. There will be a start at the wings of the nose, then smooth lines smooth out the cheeks.
