Face Contouring & Anti-Aging Massage Tutorial
Hey everyone!
I came across a post from Sesame at VivaWoman back in December, where she talked about a popular Japanese face contouring massage by Yukuko Tanaka. I was fascinated with this because 1. I love the Japanese culture, food, history, and complexions 
, and 2. I love massages.
The massage is credited for reducing and preventing wrinkles, improving sagging skin, minimizing pore size, eliminating puffy eyes and under-eye bags, and improving skin tone and skin texture.
I researched for several days hoping to find English translations of the videos to share with you, but there were none at all, only bits and pieces of English transcripts with some pictures.
So I had the videos translated for you guys (a wonderful man named Szu did an incredible job, and refused any payment for his translation work, I’m extremely grateful to him), and I worked until 4 am this morning to do the English subtitles and English voiceovers. And voila! I have posted them on my YouTube channel today so you can start doing this 3-minute anti-aging massage!
Enjoy!

Just had to post a big THANK YOU to you — and to Szu — for your superb work. I was having so much trouble following the original videos because I wear glasses, and had to keep taking them off to do each massage„ and then put them back on to check and re-check the technique for each massage. The glasses and the foreign language combo wasn’t working for me at all! Now, I can HEAR how to do the massage correctly, and can leave the glasses off while I follow along with your voiceover. Brilliant. Thanks so much.
Haha that sounds like what my problem was…take the glasses off…put ‘em back on to see the friggin video…;D You’re so very welcome, sooz.

thanks so much for translating this! On another website, I saw that you and your friend had been so kind to do this and I wish to thank you. BTW, you have gorgeous skin and an amazing website full of great natural information! What do you use to keep your skin so lovely?
Paola, thank you so much for the wonderful comment.
To answer your question, I can do a detailed post on it if you’d like.

Yes, please do! I’m sure it would benefit a lot of us that are trying to take better care of ourselves naturally. Specifically, I am 31 years old and already getting the dreaded nasiolabial folds and furrows (too much laughing and too much worrying) but I dont want to get Botox. I know no topical will get rid of these, but maybe taking better care of myself, and my skin will make them less noticable. Also, I love your posts about just taking better care of yourself to help maintain good skin. Thanks again!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your video tutorial. The voice-over is great, as well as the video. Well done!
Amazing
The video was really helpful. I have a question.. I got chickenpox four months ago.. Im 20.. It wasnt too bad but it left lil deep red marks on my face mostly on my forehead. How do i get rid of tht?
Hi there
this video is amazing. Maybe I missed something but there are 4 parts on this video. Are we supposed to do them all in once?
Thank you
Yes, it’s one massage procedure split up into 4 videos…perhaps I’ll consolidate them into one video.
Nice post Stephanie! Thanks for the information and for sharing your video tutorial
This great site is genuinely interesting. You provide way up several great details about your own post. This is definitely my own first time here inside this kind of internet site therefore good work…
Oh thank you so much for posting this in English, very helpful!
Wow, this is so great
I will be trying this massage tonight, thanks for the translation 
THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic facial massage! Been searching for this type of massage. Thanks so much for the translation. Does really help! Awesome !
Hi Stephanie,
You’ve been so kind to offer your knowledge about health and beauty that I wanted to share another website that I just found that does the Tanaka massage, but it’s broken down to massage for women in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s etc. The website is: rutube.ru/tracks/2656145.html (it takes a bit to load)
I just wanted to let you know that there is a more specific Tanaka tutorial for different age groups in case you wanted to translate this one too!
Thanks again.
Awesome! I will check that out, Paola. Thanks!
