Tanaka Massage 

Massages are known for their pain and stress relief/management benefits but, they may also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially the Tanaka Message. How? Messages stimulate blood flow to the area promoting the nutriment/waste exchange of cells (lymphatic drainage). Invented from the Japanese make-up artist, Yukoko Tanaka, it seems impossible for this massage to yield anymore benefits. Surprisingly, the Tanaka massage also promises to contour the face, reducing dark circles, "puffiness" and defining the face's natural dimensions.

Notice that in the image above, the subject's skin appears tighter. There is also a significant reduction in the puffiness beneath the eyes and the nos appears "lifted". The skin in the area of the chin is not as loose after the treatment as well as the part of the cheekbone closest to the ear is slightly more defined. Consider that this image only reflects on the effects of the Takana massage after 3 months. The benefits may be more prominent after a longer period of time. Also, the Tanaka massage is a complementary therapy therefore, it would be incorporated into someone's lifestyle and would not be forgotten after (X) time. because the benefits of the Tanaka massage are a result of lymphatic drainage, one must massage daily for optimal results. Again, lack of compliance ends with the reappearance of the natural effects of aging. Message the face with an oil to reduce irritation. View the following videos to learn how to massage:
