Claudia, I learn so much from reading your posts, thank you!

Right after my original post, I placed an order for the blue rolling massage ball and just tried it out a couple of days ago... I found it did not roll as smoothly in its socket as I hoped. It was great over clothes and pushing hard along my upper shoulder, but on my face, not so much!

I particularly find that using my hands along my jawline difficult... but... if you are able to cross stretch AND do bone pressure reps at the same time (congrats! that is cool, I never thought of it) then I see that it might be possible to apply less pressure than I was thinking and still get results.

In other words, I've been trying to apply Herculean pressure and feeling some shame that I couldn't make the pressure as deep as I felt it needed to be.

You know, a long time ago I had one of those Shiatsu massagers - the heavy kind with a long handle that gives strong percussive taps wherever applied. It broke a while ago, but the example you shared about Flexers smacking their faces with frozen water bottles is exactly what I was thinking when I first started this thread.

I used to use that percussive massager on my head because it felt good... that was before I knew about face exercises and bone remodeling. It might be fun just to experiment. Though recently I've been trying my hands again with the pressure reps and it's getting easier as I learn how to better apply leverage.

(also I loved the example of the man with the cast.. wow... intriguing)

I think perhaps because of the contours of our faces it doesn't roll so great. But you could still use it to apply pressure. Pick up move.

Ahhh... I see you were concerned that you just aren't pressing hard enough. Well, perhaps our faces could tolerate it, but at this juncture, I'm not so sure extreme pressure is necessary. Or easily accomplished on a regular basis.

Try placing your elbows on a table and using the butts of your palms (who know palms had butts?!) and press in on your jaw line. You should feel some serious pressure, and I believe that to be adequate.

Does that help?

Oh, yes... it does help! Thanks again! Now I just need to freeze a water bottle... <grin> Laughing

It would be nice if you provide some more tips for skin care.

I just stumbled upon this forum while researching online and curious whether you all are still on this site and still using the gadgets and techniques now?
If so, how have your results been?
I want to move away from Botox and fillers and work on a more natural approach to antiaging.
