Even if someone takes care of their skin, visits their cosmetologist quite often or even get those beauty injections from time to time, it might still not be enough to keep that face of their look young. The conditions of the muscles, as well as the tendons in the neck and the head region, play an important role in the maintenance of a young face. They influence the color of the skin and also determine if a person has a swelling, wrinkles, drooping eyelids or not.
Today we decided to look at what epicranial aponeurosis really is and why a quick head massage daily can lead to great effects for skin by lifting it. We also compiled a list of some helpful exercises to help our readers with their head massage routines.
What is Epicranial Aponeurosis?
The answer question as to what is epicranial aponeurosis is that it is a tough layer made of dense and fibrous tissues that cover the upper portion of the cranium (Human Skull). The human scalp tends to become less and less mobile over the course of life and tends to lose its elasticity which makes it more attached to the cranium. This also leads to scalp having decreased microcirculation of the blood in the scalp and create an effect like that of a tight rubber hat which tends to press down on one’s head and face. This is what causes those droopy eyelids and wrinkles on the face which makes it lose its overall shape.
The healthy condition of the human scalp is the one here it is mobile and it can only be restored with the head massage. The more mobile one’s scalp is, the younger their face will look.

Hold this position for a bit and then do simple circular motions in the counterclockwise and clockwise directions gently.

Gripping forehead and backside of the head
During this massage technique, grip the hairs from both the back of your head and from the front of your head i.e. the hairline. Gently pull your hairs upwards and hold in this position and start doing circular motions in only the counterclockwise direction.

Lymphatic drainage
Make your fists and then place those fists on the bones located on the sides of the head’s back. Massage this area in circular motions for about 30 to 40 seconds.
