Sagging, jowls, a lack of firmness, a downturn in suppleness… If you’ve noticed a change in how your skin looks, you’re probably experiencing a lack of elasticity. And it’s probably due to a downward spiral of collagen production.
“With age, collagen production declines, leading to less plump and less firm skin,” says Coralie Esnault, international educator for Payot. “Collagen plays a key role in maintaining structure.” The way forward? Skincare that helps support the natural production of collagen and regular facial massage – both at home and in clinic.
The Benefits of Facial Massage
“Everyone, regardless of age or skin type, can benefit from lifting techniques,” says Esnault. Payot has just released its new in-clinic facialist treatment. “It is a holistic and expert treatment offering a unique experience with 75 minutes of manual and accessorised massage – the best of facialism.”
The carefully choreographed routine, which incorporates a pink quartz mask, gua sha and roller, not only feels sublime but also gives skin a workout to leave it looking lifted, smooth and more youthful.
“The 42-movements massage offers a range of global youth benefits, including relaxation, muscle relaxation, detoxification and anti-wrinkle and sculpting effects,” says Esnault.
The comprehensive treatment uses skincare specific to your skin concerns and incorporates acupressure, lymphatic drainage, smoothing and intraoral manoeuvrers to release tension, lift the face and plump lips.
There are also roller movements that help tone and decongest the skin. “It’s great for those with bruxism [jaw tension], people struggling to relax and let go, and those who want smoothing and firming techniques,” explains Esnault.
How To Boost Collagen Production?
Adding skincare specifically designed to tighten, lift and boost the skin’s production of collagen can further increase lift, says Esnault.
“The new products in Payot’s Roselift are suitable particularly for women concerned with a lack of firmness,” she says of the clean, vegan formulas which contain up to 98 per cent natural ingredients.
With regular use as well as at-home facial massage, you can expect the appearance of plumper-looking, lifted and radiant skin. “Skin will appear firmer, denser, and the oval of the face will [appear to] be reshaped,” says Esnault.
