The social network TikTok is full of short videos showing tips each more unusual than the next. This is particularly the case for anti-aging. If you’re all against rather invasive techniques, here are some tips that are supposed to prevent signs of aging.
A facial massage with suction cups
Cupping has become widely used to tone the thighs, stomach and reduce cellulite. Today it is now possible to use it for the face. Their circumference is smaller to accommodate that particular area and the effects are not really the same. Massaging your face with suction cups will restart the production of collagen, which is essential for elastic skin. They will also detoxify the skin and make your facial muscles work.
Be careful, suction cups can not be used just any old way. To avoid having bruises or redness when you vacuum your skin with this accessory skincare, always apply an oil first. If you want to fight against the signs of aging, it is best to apply an oily product with anti-aging properties, such as squalane for example. Next, focus on specific lines on your face. As seen in the video, start at the hollow of your cheeks, then the tops of your eyebrows. Then pass the suction cup over your jaw from your chin to the bottom of your ears. Take the opportunity to go down along your neck, then to work the underside of your chin. Don’t forget your forehead either. Then use a thinner suction cup to pass it under your eyes, not by sliding it this time, but by making small pressures. Slide the suction cup over your nasolabial fold and between your eyebrows.
If you are not sure of yourself, know that it is possible to go to beauty salons to perform this type of massage.

Onion tea to look younger
Dermatologist Mamina Turegano’s TikTok account is full of advice videos on skincare. A series of them highlights all the tips of her 72-year-old mother who seems 10 younger. In one of these videos, she is seen drinking hot water infused with onion skin. A tip that may seem very surprising at first, but after reading studies on a specialized site, the dermatologist found that onion peel has many virtues, especially thanks to the quercetin it contains. This flavonoid, a type of antioxidant, is an anti-inflammatory and an immune booster. In addition, it prevents certain cancers, such as that of the colon, pancreas and lungs, regulates blood sugar, fights heart disease and reduces blood pressure.
How to prepare this drink? In the video, yellow onion skins are used. It is specified that they dried for a few hours in the sun before being washed thoroughly. Then, these peels are put in a pot of water which is then brought to a boil for 15 to 30 minutes. Once the onion skins have infused enough, the water is filtered before drinking it. According to Mamina Turegano, this drink that seems so miraculous still tastes rather bland.
The magic of acupressure
Laurel Liu graduated in acupuncture. On her TikTok account, she posts videos where she explains which points of your body you have to press to have a particular effect. In one of them, she details the four acupressure points on the face to lift it.
You have to start with the corner of the lips, half a centimeter from the corners. Gently pat these two points simultaneously to prevent wrinkles on the cheekbones. Second zone: the top of your nostrils. With your middle finger, gently massage these two points. This will prevent, and in some cases blur, your nasolabial folds. Also massage the middle of your jaw to prevent sagging skin. Finally, last point, and not the least interesting, that which allows to reduce dark circles. To do this, just tap in the middle of the bone which is located just under your eyes.
A massage of the lips to prevent them from thinning
This is surely one of the most forgotten areas of anti-aging: the lips. And yet, as you get older, they gradually become thinner, as they become dehydrated. This is why wrinkles appear from a certain age. However, it is possible to prevent these effects by massaging the lips. To do this, take your upper lip with both hands, between your thumb and forefinger, bringing them as close as possible. Then, raise your hands slightly and successively to stretch it vertically and then stretch it horizontally. Do these two movements along the entire length of your lip and repeat them on the lower lip.
Using petroleum jelly all over the face
On her TikTok account, this beauty journalist unveiled a tip given by Martha Stewart, an American businesswoman, to have younger skin. It is a product accessible to all, and whatever your budget: petroleum jelly. Every night, after completing her usual skincare routine, she applies a generous amount all over her face, lips and hands. This has several benefits. Initially, this allows the treatments that you have previously applied to penetrate deeper into the epidermis, but also to prevent water loss from your skin. The effect is almost immediate since the next morning the skin is much more luminous. It is a technique which is called today the slugging.
Be careful though, petroleum jelly is a comedogenic product. If you have combination, oily, or acne-prone skin, it is not recommended to apply petroleum jelly to your face. This is mainly intended for normal, dry and extra dry skin. Also choose petroleum jar or tube that is made from 100% petroleum jelly. Today it is possible to find it in sticks, but other ingredients have been added to the formulation to harden it.
