Botox and fillers are indispensable nowadays, regardless of age. Everyone wants to look young, and wrinkles often don’t fit into that picture. But growing older also has its charm, and whether you choose Botox, fillers or proudly rock your wrinkles, we fully respect that. Would you still like to hide your wrinkles before a night out and give your skin an extra glowy and plumping look? With this 30-second skin hack you give your face a natural facelift, without injections or products.
Skincare hack
A video in which Olga shares her skin hack for a natural facelift is going viral on TikTok. Olga (@naturalfacebible) is 48 and has wrinkle-free skin. In the video, which has now been viewed more than 50,000 times, she shows how she lifts her face every week with a simple head massage. According to her, this method helps prevent her skin from sagging. “No anti-aging cream can do what this exercise does,” she says.
In the video, we see Olga grabbing her hair as if making a tight, high ponytail and pulling it up. “You feel a pleasant, slightly painful sensation,” she explains. She holds this position for at least 30 seconds, which pulls up her facial skin. She then moves her head calmly to the right, left, up and down.
Placebo effect?
Does Olga’s natural facelift really work, or is it a case of placebo? A head massage, as seen in the video, relaxes the stiff muscles in your skull, improves blood circulation and can help lift your facial lines. The effect is mainly in the improved blood circulation, which stimulates cell renewal and ensures a detoxifying effect. This can make your skin look younger.
