Hi guys. My name's Danielle Collins and I'm the world
leading face yoga expert and I'm going to show you my top
three techniques for helping to reduce dark circles puffiness and
bags under the eyes. So I would really recommend you do face
yoga as part of a daily structure programme. So these
three techniques are great to do but you're going to get even
better results for the eyes but for the face overall if you're
working all the muscles in the face and you're really helping
the overall circulation so you can either use my book just
search Danielle Collins' Face Yoga on Amazon or you can just
search Danielle Collins on your app store for my apps.
So let's start off with our first technique. Now I like
using the ring finger for this technique. It just gives
you the right amount of pressure for your tapping.
So taking your ring finger and just tap gently around the eye
area so you don't need to use too much pressure. Here we
often think if we use a lot of pressure we're going to get
better results. But remember this skin around the eye area is
about 10 times thinner than the skin in the rest of the face so it
really needs to be gently touched.
We really need to take care as we're massaging it. Now this
helps to just boost the circulation and when we boost
the circulation we help to brighten the skin. And it also
helps with lymphatic drainage as well. So it really helps
that detoxification which is going to be fantastic
particularly if you do have any puffiness or dark circles around
the eye area. Now I recommend that you do these eye
techniques every day once a day twice if you want to. And the
ideal amount of time is about one minute per technique that
I'm going to show you today.
So this is our first technique. And you can lift off now.
Let's go on to our second technique. So our second
one we're going to use our index finger and we're going to
very gently just move under the eyes all the way out. So a
little indentation point here. So a little lymphatic
drainage point. So we're coming all the way out. And just
gently pressing here. Breathing nice and deeply as you do
this now I really recommend you go and grab a mirror as you
do this.
It's so tempting to drag the skin here. You want to actually
look in the mirror and check the skin isn't moving at all.
Don't worry if it doesn't feel as though you're doing very
much lymphatic drainage is actually better with that very
soft gentle touch. So again you can do that for up to one
minute. And then our final technique which is such a
wonderful technique for again lymphatic drainage.
So very good for the puffiness and the bags under the eyes
taking your index finger and circle above the eyebrows and
under the eyes. Now this is one that we teach in our face yoga
teacher training programme and we really recommend that our
teachers show this to clients to do on a daily basis in order
to help with that lymphatic drainage remember that the
lymphatic system really does need a helping hand unless
we're doing this daily massage gets very sluggish. So
So then you come under the eyebrows. He wants to about
a minimum of four above the eyebrows and about a minimum of
four under the eyebrows but you can again do this technique for
up to one minute in total and just finish with that little
drainage point there. Gentle press.
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out and just gently
bring your hands back down. I hope you have a great day.
See you again soon.
