The technique of using such massagers is quite simple - you just need to drive them over the area of ​​the skin on which you want to act. This should be done not in a relaxed state, but with pressure. In general, massage can be chaotic, and a special massage scheme is needed only for the face - you need to do it along the "lines" - from the middle of the face to the edge. It is best to do the massage for more than 15 minutes a day. Before the massage, the skin should be lubricated with oil and wait 1-2 minutes for it to be slightly absorbed. The results can be seen after a month of regular training.
