Aging Well from an embodiment perspective to reduce facial lines

In the space between my eyebrows I have some developed muscles from squinting. These muscles have created up and down grooves. You an see the fine lines in this picture and the grooves in the one below.

As a Feldenkrais Practitioner of Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education one of the learning points is the build up of muscles from repetitive use. In this situation it is deep grooves that are being created were I don’t necessarily want them. What I have begun doing to shift this is learn to let go of the habit. When I sense that I have contracted these muscles and hold them, I release it. The use of the silicone patches has supported this ability to consciously notice it.

Even though I was suspect of these at first these silicone patches are shifting the muscle memory that hold the contraction giving the appearance of the grooves. Instead of using fillers like Botox, I am changing the habitual behaviour of engaging these muscles. The other step I am taking is using Caster Oil. I began testing Caster Oil at the same time as using these silicone patches. I have read the benefit’s for skin using Caster Oil and find that it is making a noticeable difference in the quality of my skin.

I used the silicone patch on my forehead between my eyes for three evenings and it flattened the up and down groves creating a face surface. This lasted for a week. One morning I woke and the muscles had returned to the former shape that created grooves. It is a worthwhile hack in my opinion.

Here is a link to getting some inexpensive silicone patches to experience with.
