I'm also a massage therapist and bodyworker, and this technique is essentially tapotement, which affects blood flow, fascia and thus the underlying musculature. It makes a lot of sense physiologically that you would see a fairly rapid response. The fact that it's NOT a product or device is a positive as well. Definitely going to try this (at 76, I should be able to see a visible shift pretty fast!)
I subscribed to Aysel's channel about 1 year ago, and her advice has actually improved my jaw line, jowls, nasolabial folds, and my neck. I have viewed many RU-vid videos on facial how-tos, but now I exclusively follow Aysel's massage videos because they are the only ones which actually improved my aging concerns. She deserves the credit for her incredible knowledge she shares with us. The Honest Channel and Claudia Glows are my other favorite channels for looking my best as I age!
i had to tell u. i watched this about a week ago . tried it every night as my22 yr old son would laugh and poke fun of me when he caught a glimpse of my behavior. last night he said, OMG i don't want to say this but i definitely see a hiuge diff in your neck!
I HAD BEEN DOING AYSEL towel. It had changed My neck I love it. I also Doing her massage on the neck. Amazing. She Changed my confidence about my face in general I am a woman 67: years old. I feel younger again!!!! ( Liliana) Thank you Jesus!!!
I noticed a difference in my neck about three years ago and have tried creams etc. For the crepe of the skin, the best thing I've found is Castor Oil. It is such a wonderful oil and has made the crepe disappear. I am going to try this technique to tighten the muscles. Love this channel, thank you.
I've heard great things about castor oil too. I was using it to help with my droopy eyelids. But, I started noticing that my fingers would go numb on me which seems to happen when I'm low on estrogen. If I apply estrogen cream, my fingers feel better. Then, I read it will deplete estrogen so we have to reapply estrogen cream afterwards. It seems to help me but I suggest reading about side effects of the oil if we are menopausal or perimenopausal.
@@2017_K___BoothThanks for making this important point. I had no idea it depletes estrogen! Lower estrogen levels are a big cause of aging in females. So definitely good to know before we go crazy on the oil.
I love that you use the term “aging well,” instead of “anti-aging.” We are all going to age, so we need to make it more positive and learn how to age well! 👏🏼 👏🏼 🎉
Just wanted to say that like Lee I noticed big changes to my neck after 52. I just tested this method, once, 3 min and I noticed an IMMEDIATE improvement. There is a particular crepey spot on my neck which was gone after the towelling. Its so easy I will be doing this most days - can’t wait to see the longer terms results. This is the kind of stuff we need - simple easy to do techniques that are proven to work.
I truly do not understand how this works so well, but it does! I have been doing it for a month, and my neck looks so much better. But it’s not just my neck! It has toned my shoulders. I will never give it up!
I know this may sound trivial but I trained myself to sleep on my back and saw a big improvement in my facial wrinkles. I used to sleep on my right side and noticed pretty deep crow's feet and other facial wrinkles on my right side that weren't on my left. After training myself to sleep on my back those right side wrinkles have diminished. They're still there but softer and less noticeable. Also I have been doing mouth taping at night and sleep deeper. Breathing through your nose rather than through your mouth when you sleep provides more nitrous oxide which is healthier. What I didn't expect is that mouth taping changed the shape of my face! More defined. Chin more pointed. Cheeks more slender. Just more definition overall in my lower face. Don't know how that happened or why with mouth taping but I am delighted. I'm going to try the salted towel massage. But with the back sleeping and mouth taping my neck already looks better. Could be even better though. I'll try it and see.❤
Yes! True. I sleep on my back, and the difference is incredible. If and when I sleep on my right side, I can see wrinkles on the right forehead area and deep chest wrinkles.
Hello Victoria, Thank you for your recommendation. I would like to please ask you for advice about what type of mouth taping I can use in my mouth. Tell me the name and where did you buy it?
Thank you so much Clare. It was an honour to be a part of your RU-vid channel. I have been a huge fan and have followed your videos since I started my beauty journey. Im so glad I had the opportunity to share this with you and your audience. I have the upmost respect for you, your research and the value content you provide. Keep doing the great work that you do!
That means so much, Lee. I really enjoyed talking to you and the privilege was all mine. It was a real pleasure to help share your experience and thanks so much again for talking to me.
Okay...I tried this last night before bed and all I could do was think about the immediate results, OH MY GRACIOUS!!!! I couldn't wait to get up this morning to do it again LOL Seriously, my neck and jaw line looks so much more defined. I did find the slapping motion very hard on my arms (Lol, tiring) so I will be switching to a dish towel. I am 59 years old and gravity has been having it's way with neck :( I do use my NuFace and great skincare but my top tip is SPF. I am just blown away by the results so far. It's simple easy and cheap...what do we have to lose! Also, I do have a thyroid issue so I will be VERY careful to avoid that area!!!
Ok, this cracked me up at first. Then I thought about it. Collagen production, clearing lymph, stimulating muscles... I've tried a few things to get rid of my turkey neck😢 without real results. The price for this is just right, I'll try it. Thank you!
A tea towel! Thank you! I discovered this technique a few months ago but struggled with the thickness and weight of a wet towel. I just used a tea towel now and found it so much easier and really enjoyable. 😊
Thank you for that tip. ! I am going to try it and I was wondering what kind of towel should I use and I think a dish towel would be perfect size bc it’s smaller and lighter weight then my heavy bath towels. All I need is to buy more salt now. I can’t wait to try it
There’s a comment here about using Castor Oil on the neck for tightening the neck. I’ve done this overnight (applied Castor Oil) it ABSOLUTELY WORKS! This along with the towel technique should be a home-run!
I am using this technique almost a year day by day. Bath towel is to harsh and heavy for my neck , but small face towel works well. The sea salt warm the skin , increase the blood circulation along with the vibration of the massage. The face cream before and after the 3 min massage nourish the delicate skin.
When I was training to be an Aesthetician (many years ago) the girls often talked about their inexpensive home cellulite treatment using olive oil and rock salt put on the skin and wrapped in plastic wrap for 30mins. They swore that it was as good as any expensive cream. Of course what was happening was that the salt was dehydrating the superficial layers of the skin thus giving a temporary smoothing effect while the olive oil was moisturizing. I suspect a similar action is being seen here and yes you would see temporary results if doing it everyday. The flicking action might be good at stimulating muscle tone but I would think hand massage techniques would be more effective as the hands cradles and move the skin/muscle (effleurage and petrissage) better than a towel. As an aesthetician I would be more inclined to use EMS to stimulate muscle tone. Hope my explanation helps to shed some light on the techniques used in this video.
Great!! I am 54, this is such truth. I had a neck accident 14 years ago that has made my neck muscles tight... I have zero turkey neck, no sagging because my muscles have been tighter. I do not believe we should get plastic surgery.. (unless a deformity problem) all else can be corrected in training our muscles and fascia.
I have Hashimoto’s also, so I pretty much stay away from that area with red light or microneedling! However, I did dedicated neck exercises for years after having neck surgery (at my physical therapist’s recommendation), but all they did was enlarge the two tendons at the front of my neck!!
My friend from church had hashimotos too. For 5 years she could barely even get off the couch. She bought a machine and started drinking the hydrogen water and her Hashimotos is completely gone now. hydrationlocation has information on there. Honestly. I had 6 tumors on my thyroid so I started drinking this hydrogen water too. Within 5 1/2 months all my tumors were gone. I am totally going to try this towel technique immediately. I love things like this!!!!
The massage is similar to the massage used by our grandmother’s back in the day where you “slap” your jaw line under the chin with the back of your hand. Hard to explain.. you put one hand parallel to your jaw face down mid neck and then with the other hand flap it back and forth like a clap but restricted hitting the jawline. Can’t explain it any better. But that works.
@@cammieklund Me Too! Bogus! My grandmother died 99yrs, still with INCREDIBLE skin. BUT she had also lived and worked on their farm, eating only what they produced including milk and meat. All organic, all fresh. She always wore a large hat and her only beauty regime was Oil of Ulan [now Olay], and this 'neck slapping'. I realize the good food and hard work was the most important. [She did have stress though, with droughts, fires, floods, losing men to war etc]. But I believe the hat, Oil of Ulan and probably the face slapping kept her beautiful to the end. [If only my mother and I had noted and listened to a 1/4 of her wisdom]. But No!!!
I know this video!!!! I have it saved and tried it once. I have to admit it’s next level dedication lol. It’s not just a simple massage. It’s laborious with warm water, salts, a wet towel dripping everywhere and a mess in the bathroom so it wasn’t something that I stuck with but good to know it’s such a good one…. I will use when it demands-Thanks!
I’m my daughters mother You’re gorgeous I enjoy your videos I wanted suggest watching Chris Gibson professional esthetician He’s almost sixty years old and looks like he’s in late’s twenties My point is he has very easy exercises for hooded eyes that actually work The difference is seen as he’s doing exercises Please enjoy his videos he also does unique neck and other face and lose skin exercises He’s truly worth your precious time Thank you
Fascinating. I must admit I've seen this video on RU-vid and never thought any more of it. Guess what I'm going to be trying out next..? Gua Sha is amazing Claire. I'm surprised you haven't heard of the benefits of it.🥰
It does work. One does not need any salt water. It actually makes the towel too rough and scratches the skin. One can just use a towel and preferably delicate fabric towel and the slapping itself is what works.
I would disagree in theory. The saline will help the neck cream enter the skin. The sea salt is full of beneficial minerals like a hot spring bath. My hypothesis is that the sea salt water plays a key role in this technique.
@@MissKrisLoves in theory - yes. You do not need anything to penetrate the skin etc. it is the slapping movement that helps, not the cream or the salt. the cream ends up on the wet towel, not in your skin , btw, and the salty wet towel is basically scratching the skin. Which shortens the time you can bear it as it starts to be burningly painful. If you want better penetration of the cream - apply it AFTER the slapping as your circulation is improved and tissue absorption increases. Salty compresses afterwards can do the job of salt penetration. no need to damage the skin barrier by slapping mirco crystals on it. And all this is not theoretical, I tried it the way she posted and it did not work even just being wet as it becomes way too rough.
@@orangefox5121same! I tried it everyday for about five weeks & gave up, as no noticeable difference. It was very disappointing. I could bear it & did 2 mins (set alarm) on each area, so a total of 6 minutes. I twisted the tea towel & gave my neck (& arms) a real workout! My neck reddened, each time. I also moisturised before & afterwards. I’ll try your dry method, with a soft hand towel.
@@helenauburn4550 the best towel for me is a really soft microfiber towel I bought for plopping the curls ( I think it is called haircare towel or something like that). Silk might be good, too, those are fabrics which help. Plus you need a longer one as it is easier on your shoulders and arms if you do it with a longer towel
Undoubtedly sensational, I have seen the same video and I started doing it three weeks ago.. the results are fabulous, I apply the same technique on my eyebrows and it is wonderful because it lifts my drooping eyelids and reduces inflammation.. I definitely recommend it! 🤩👌Great!
Over the last year or two, my neck has become very thin, and showing laxity… I thought a common sense approach to this would be to exercise the neck and build up the muscles in it. I am modified a version of chiropractic neck strengthening and I have to say, within a week or two of doing it it really helped to add volume to my neck. now if I add this in I’m sure that would be the icing on the cake! I’m also using the oral Lift… I do believe the muscles are the star of the show when it comes to laxity, and yes we can take care of our skin but the support underneath is equally important.
There is a video called, “ Best exercises to strengthen neck muscles, helps posture“, on a channel called Tone and tighten. I did all the neck exercises in this video plus at the end I added my own version of neck sit ups, where I laid on my back, and hung my head off the edge of my bed, and slowly lifted my neck up with my chin pointing at either shoulder for about three or four reps each which was all I could handle because my Head felt heavier than a bowling ball by that point lol I would advise if you have neck problems or prone to dizziness or migraines, that you go really really slow and work up to what you can handle. I saw results in about two weeks and I don’t even do the exercises that often anymore but I have still maintaining the volume.
This is fantastic. I had seen the video before also, but never tried it. I follow another lady on YT that does facial yoga, facial massage, and even a 'tapping technique' that is supposed to help with firmness and collagen production. This sounds like it is a similar technique to the tapping. I also think that the minerals from the salt probably have a beneficial effect. Himalayan salt and celtic sea salt are incredibly healthy and loaded with minerals out bodies need. I will have to try this now :) .... thank you Clare! ... Blessings
I came across this video just now and I'm so glad I did because yesterday I found the original lady that showed the technique!! Now I'm up and at it with the towel..wish me luck! 😉💥
You really have to watch Aysel's video! The wet towel part is only one step of 4 steps and the salt is not necessary; you can do it with just warm water. They make it look like one step, but there is also stretching, and a couple of massage techniques that look very crucial to the success of treating this area!
I will have to try this! I am 34 and am looking into neck lift surgery but if I can avoid that I will. I have a genetic loose neck/double chin and no amount of guasha and retinol has helped. Mine isnt fluid at all- it is more of a foward leaninf muscle. All the women in my family have this neck! After hitting 30, it got worse so I am just so fed up! I have tried a lot of facial yoga but that didn’t work. I will try this tutorial!
I’m struggling with my neck in particular because I’m 49 and about 4 yrs ago I was sick and lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks and I noticed right after my neck was falling off.. & I hate it so much I’m always trying to cover it…
Claire! I haven’t visited ur channel for more than a year. Now I came across this video, you look much younger. You are doing a great job, young lady! Happy for you! 🎉
I’ve tried it. Slapped hard but couldn’t make my skin flush. She also gives neck massage tips, in this video or another, and I see a difference after those. Didn’t stick with the slapping though. She mentions later you don’t need the salt. Maybe I’ll try it again..
Sounds very promising. What about facial yoga, retinols, red light therapy, microneedling, castor oil, vitamin C cream, etc? I hate my turkey neck and crepey skin on my face and arms. I want to throw as many things at it as possible to improve my skin before summer.
Fascinating and will definitely give this a go, but just one question, and I know medical advice was sought, but I was wondering about the impact on the carotids and if people may potentially be put at risk of stroke due to atherosclerosis?
I tried it a few times and yes it feels like it makes a difference immediately. I couldn’t believe it was actually visible and thought I might be imagining it but you actually see it. Just need to be a little disciplined to keep it up.
Thank You….. does it matter what the cloth is made of? (Cotton?… microfiber?…. Blend?) I’m excited to try this & an extra arm exercise sounds good too 👍
I saw that video and was curious if it did really work. I saw the comments as well but this was exactly what I needed to be convinced it works. Thank you!
Oooh , I already have a long Japanese buffing cloth and Epsom salt. Is Epsom salt ok? BUT doesn't the loose sagging skin need to be ,literally, tightened and firmed?
In the original video the massage therapist said any kind of salt is ok. From the anecdotal reports I’ve seen, this method does appear to help firm and tone.
Huh I came across this video and was like sureee if only it were that easy, but I am definitely gonna give it a try, worst case there is no result... I do find the saltwater really odd though, I mean we would never in a million years add salt to our skincare, but I'll do it properly 😂 I do find your comparison to microcurrent/ muscle stimulation makes sense, after all we can "lift" the neck by pressing the tongue firmly on the upper gum and I definitely see improvement in the neck area after using the evenskyn lumo... Thanks for another interesting video!! 🎉
Yes, I'm also a bit bewildered by the salt water as was Dr Emmaline. If it works, it works! Might be worth trying without at first just to see if the buffing action itself is enough.
Using sea salt makes perfect sense to me. Sea salt is really just a bunch of minerals that are good for us. Most of are body is made up of water and that type of salt. I guess that's science nerd coming out lol
I was also going to say this. As we age, especially around menopause, our lymph systems don't work as efficiently as when we were younger. If you were not doing any type of massage in this area prior to trying this technique I could definitely see it making a difference.
Hi Clare, have you seen any results yet? Sounds interesting and plausible given the lymphatic massage aspect. I'll have to buy a tea towel. I love watching your channel...have an awesome day
Hi Yvette. If it worked for eyelids I’d be doing this every day 😁 but my neck is okay at the moment. It has encouraged me to use my dermaroller on my neck more frequently though as a preventative measure and I would definitely use this if my neck became an issue.
Do you remember that I put comment and asked you to also explore the massage technique and I shared the link to the video? :) Happy that you took it serious! Thanks!
Its a Trade Secret Lymphatic drainage of Head. face, around ears, Body even, Can stop having Surgery- ie Face lifts etc, Also I Practice CaCi. & BioTheraputic Microcurrent etc - Any Therapist Should Always do Lymphatic drainage of face head, neck, 5-10 mins before the treatment be it Microcurrent or any of many other facial treatments. Bestest Wishes All.
I've tried it but don't have the physical strength to do it. Slapped the wet towel around 20x on my neck and my arms hurted. 30 more slaps and I couldn't hold it anymore. And then, still so much time left. Oh my, it looks so effortless but it isn't!
@@leighgistinger6441 It was several years ago, I'd just discovered the fascia blaster & bought 2, & cut the one up into 2 pieces; so I had a small one for face/neck/decollotage. I searched for the "how to" instructions & came across a thread that hadn't been deleted (yet) on her FB page. The lady showed before & after pics, having developed very lax skin on the lower half of her face & neck. She said that the connective tissue had been (irretrievably) damaged from the blasting. Within an hour that post was deleted; & because I'd commented on the thread, Ashley started direct messaging me & was rather rude, defensive & borderline threatening. After that, several other negative posts (with pictures) appeared then disappeared..... I cut all ties right there & then. On principle I won't support the business of someone who behaves in that way - & am not prepared to take a chance & blast my face/neck after seeing what I saw.....
I will be trying but has wondering if omitting the salt in the bowl of water could be replaced by spraying the neck with a mist of salted water to avoid salt waste. Will it still work?
They're effective but burn like hell. Last time I took valium and had a driver and it still took me 45 minutes after the procedure before I felt OK to leave. I will not have this done again without IV sedation.
I'm not sure what would be the difference between her technique & using a Qua-Sha? And any Mineral application would finally help the skin, but sea salt would Dry the skin out! Using something like "Cell Food Gel" would replace the lost minerals, & many other added benefits! And also, taken orally, Cell Food Drops. They're Absolutely Incredible!!!!!!!
I like where you're going with this. I would put it over the nourishing neck cream myself. I'm big into layers. If there is minerals that are easily absorbed into the skin it may prove very beneficial. Let us know how you get on please. 😊
