Implementation Tips
“Beginners often make mistakes. The main thing in our business is to fully follow the coach’s advice, ”says Alena Rossoshinskaya. Fitness for the face is not just the performance of certain exercises, but the constant monitoring of compliance with certain rules for the implementation of this technique. It is important to adhere to the following points:
• Doing gymnastics is necessary only in front of the mirror. This will help to avoid some errors when executing the complex.
• You need to do fitness for the face regularly, preferably daily twice a day: morning and evening. Only in this case can a noticeable effect be guaranteed after a couple of weeks.
• Exercise should not cause unpleasant pain. However, finger pressure on the skin should be strong enough and palpable.
• It’s worth choosing a convenient time for training so that you can fully concentrate on doing the exercises. Distracted by extraneous matters is not recommended. If you can’t do this, it’s best to reschedule your workout for another time.
• When carrying out the complex, more attention should be paid to the problem area itself. This will not only eliminate existing defects, but also prevent the emergence of new ones.
• Doing exercises is necessary only when you are healthy. Contraindications to it can be fever, weakness, colds, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. Also, people should not engage in face culture during the first years after plastic surgery on the face.
• Problem areas need to be treated delicately. Do not rub heavily, pinch the skin, click on it in this area. Illiterate exposure to it can only exacerbate the problem.
