ERADICATING your smile lines doesn’t have to cost your an arm and a leg.
One woman showed off her new and improved look after using a free hack for just seven days.
In her viral video, TikTok user and facial fitness expert Valeria Veksler (@valeriiaveksler) gave her followers a glimpse at her client’s transformation.
Deepti, 39, had been under the impression that fillers were the only answer to her pronounced nasolabial folds.
However, after a quick consultation with Valeria she learned a free and non-invasive fix to her problem.
The expert explained that her hack will provide a more long-term solution than filler.
She challenged Deepti to spend a couple of minutes every day for a week massaging out the folds.
Valeria demonstrated the technique, adding that tensing your muscles while chewing can contribute to the issue.
“That’s why the skin above [the lip] was lacking support and got folded,” she explained.
As well as advising her audience to use their fingers for the anti-ageing technique, Valeria also used a gua sha.
You can pick up your own quartz gua sha for as little as 49p from Temu.
The TikToker showed her followers a side-by-side comparison of Deepti’s face before and after using the trick.
In the caption of the clip, she confirmed that the glow up happened over the course of seven days.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the skincare advice in the comments section.
“I’m 27 and my smiles lines are so deep, I had chubby cheeks most of my life and now they’re gone,” wrote one viewer.
“I just have these deep set lines round my mouth making me look like a monkey!!”
“AMAZING!!!! I’ve had the same results from doing these exact movements,” said another follower.
The Natural Spa Factory explained the science behind using facial massages to smooth the skin.
According to the experts, the technique of applying pressure to various parts of the face can help to boost collagen.
“Massaging your face can stimulate the production of collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity,” they said.
“Collagen keeps your skin plump and wrinkle-free, and facial massage helps ensure its continuous production.”
“I’m so young and I have smile lines, I hate it,” commented a third person.
“You are doing amazing work by sharing such information,” said another viewer.
“Wonderful, I think I like the result, I want to learn,” wrote one TikTok user.
“Drink your water people and stop stressing,” advised another commenter.
“That’s good, I’m going to try that because I started to think about filler at the same time I scared to do that,” said one person.
