Hi Guys and a warm welcome back to my channel.
If you don't already know me, my name is
Danielle Collins. I'm the world-leading
face yoga expert
and I’m so passionate about sharing natural,
simple and effective techniques to help
us all look and feel the very best
version of ourselves. So everything I show you
is designed to be super easy, super
simple, but something you can really do
in your day-to-day life and I highly recommend
that you do these techniques every day.
So what I'm going to be showing you today
is some really nice techniques for the eye area.
So if you suffer from puffiness under
the eyes or dark circles then
these are the techniques for you. So
we're going to do a little bit of face
yoga and then I'm going to show you
how to use a rose quartz roller and tell
you a little bit about the benefits of those.
If you would like one of these beautiful
rose quartz rollers
then you can head to faceyogaexpert.com/shop
and you'll be able to purchase them there.
So, making sure you've got a clean
face,
clean hands, and we're going to start
either with our index finger
or our ring finger. Now use the ring
finger if you tend to be quite
heavy-handed with your index finger
because we don't want to drag the skin around here.
If, however, when you're doing this, you
find it very difficult
to move properly then use the index finger so
either is fine. Work out what feels right for you.
So we're going to start in here in this
little lymphatic drainage point in this
acupressure point and just press
and you can give it a little wiggle as
well. Let's just start to open
that drainage point and then come under
the eyebrows,
either with the index finger or the ring
finger.
Come underneath and back to that
drainage point so it's almost as though
we're turning on the tap here,
draining that excess lymph which causes
that build-up of toxins
under the eyes and then draining it out here
So we're going around
and back round. So nice and gently, it’s
super important you don't drag the skin here.
Now this is a technique, if you're used
to watching my videos, that I teach a lot.
I think it's one of the best techniques
that I've taught to my clients over the
last 15 years and if you're doing this
every day, so i recommend about one
minute per day
and you can do it twice a day if you
like, then you should start to see a
massive reduction in the puffiness under your eyes
in about a week, sometimes sooner.
You sometimes can
look in the mirror after doing this and
notice that that puffiness has
really reduced. So let's just go into
that acupressure point, give it a little wiggle again.
Then you're just going to take your rose
quartz roller.
Now the rose quartz crystal, and this is
beautiful quality crystal so it's
really important you don't go for a super cheap one.
So I know there's loads out there,
you can get them very cheap on Amazon
but there's almost no point getting those.
They're often made from
glass or crushed up marble or have lots
of chemicals in them
and you don't want to be rubbing these
chemicals all over your face.
You also want one that's made well so
lots of the cheap ones and, trust me, I've
tried a lot over the years,
this bit and this bit tends to ping off
and you end up with these
little spikes which can be very
dangerous, particularly if it happens
when you're going over your face.
And also, if you are someone that's into
crystal and into the healing benefits of crystal,
then getting the proper rose quartz is
super important.
And rose quartz, when used on the skin, is
very good for anti-inflammatory.
It's very good for the puffiness under the eyes,
it's very good if you've got sensitive skin.
Maybe you get rosacea, maybe you get acne,
then this is the one for you and I'd highly recommend
you do this technique in the morning,
so rose quartz is particularly good if you
use it in the morning and what I do is I
tend to pop it
in the fridge in a little bowl, keep it
there overnight, then I wake up in the
morning and I do the technique I'm about to show you.
Jade rollers are also fantastic. You can
use jade rollers at any point in the day so
stick to the rose quartz for the morning,
tends to be a bit more energising.
You can use jade at any point in the day.
Jade is much more renowned for its
anti-ageing benefits,
so go for the rose quartz if you really
want to reduce the puffiness. Now I like both.
I like the jade
and I like the rose quartz so we've got
both on our website
and I tend to find that I use the jade
for working all over the face and
I use the rose quartz when I tend to find that
my skin feels a little bit more
sensitive. I tend to use it around the
time of the month and I tend to use it
in the morning. So, let's take the small
end here and once it's come out the
fridge and it's nice and cool you come
under the eyes and across. So we're going
under the eyes and across,
nice and gently. Now it's quite nice here
if you apply just a drop
or two of your Fusion by Danielle Collins serum.
It works great under the eyes. It's not
too heavy for the eye area, you don't
need very much. Just a drop
is fine for both eyes and you'll find this glides
even better and you don't want to be
dragging the skin, so nice
gentle touch here is great. And let's go
to the other side now. So we're coming
all the way out to the hairline,
so really encouraging that drainage
in those areas. Now this little
small part of the roller is best for
under the eyes. The bigger part
you can use other points on the face
and always work to your own level with
all of these. If you do have any
serious skin concerns, let's do a few
more this one, we're going to go up a bit higher
and then we're just going to drain down.
So we're going to go up
and drain down. So if you do have any
skin concerns, maybe have very
active acne, don't roll straight over the top of it.
If you have very bad eczema or very bad
rosacea, again don't go straight over the
top of it. However
if you have acne prone skin or eczema prone skin
or rosacea prone skin then I'd really recommend this
rose quartz roller for going over the skin.
The healing benefits of the
crystal are really going to calm the skin.
Now it's great if you do have
lines and wrinkles as well.
If lines and wrinkles are your concern,
more than the sensitive skin,
then go for the jade roller but, as I said,
I like both and, if possible, have both.
Use this one in the morning,
use a jade in the evening and that's what I find works best.
So there's loads of other
things you can do with this rose quartz
roller so let me know in the comments
below
if you'd like more videos on how to use
the rose quartz roller on other parts
of the face. There's some really lovely
lifting techniques we can do
with it as well. So that's really going
to help with this puffiness.
You can then use the larger part and
just press
under the eyes, particularly works if
it's very cold, if it's just come out the
fridge or even if you just pop it under the freezer.
Just helps to take some of that
puffiness and that inflammation down.
So I hope you've enjoyed the video.
