“It’s fluid, NOT fat.”
PSA: It’s important to avoid defaulting to the self-critical thought that any sagging or fullness is FAT.
Even if you’re carrying an extra weight, it’s more likely and often the case that it’s just excess fluid, so let’s start there and work our way backward to determine the root cause.
The goal is to work on improving the health and function of the skin, before we make harsh judgements, or decisions that may have more severe consequences in the long run (i.e.liposuction). Be kind to yourself!
In my experience, the more I focus on the flow of fluids and my lymphatic health, the better I look and feel. It creates a chain reaction of benefits far below the surface of the skin.
Here are a few tips for working the jawline and clearing the pathways that act as an intermediary between the fluids flowing from the face to the neck.
💦 Follow your sweep all the way to the ear. It’s important to ensure the fluids aren’t accumulating in front of and below the ear. This is another common area of stagnation that needs focused attention.
💦 Connect and sweep.
💦 Avoid flicking.
💦 Allow for the slight stretch and shift in the skin.
💦 Stretch and rebound. The skin will naturally rebound with each sweep, creating a wave and propelling fluid along the lymph pathways.
