This advice sounds good and works easily for the cheek area but it gets a bit weird around the nose area where the angles and elevation on your face makes it a bit hard to go up and outward. lol. I never thought about this at all to tell you the truth. I did however, read in Dr. Gross's ski book that long term running and jogging can potentially cause sagging and this sort of tip is sort of the same thing in regards to preventing the gravitational sagging. The only other problem I have with this method now is...does it take you longer to get your cosmetics into your skin as well? I have problem especially with the sunscreen. You know how I am using Mexitan, well, it does leave a whitish cast and is quite thick, unless you really really rub it into your skin. To get it to really thin out and get onto my skin without being like a thick paste on my face, I would use circular rubs to get it that way. However, with the upward and outward rubbing, there isn't an opposite downward and inward, like if you get rubing in a diagonal line back and forth, to get the cream to absorb. Getting the cream to absor b with just upward and outward is tough! <font color="#990033"><strong>Teri</strong>: I read about the jogging too. I remember telling my physical fitness teacher this when I was in college and he scolded me for giving excuses! Okay, I had Susan, a trained cosmetologist to show me as I told her I'm used to washing my face in circular motions and she taught me to increase pressure with upward sweeps and reduce pressure with downward sweeps. I think that can work for product application too. But you need to try it and get use to the motions. It might also take a wee longer time I guess.</font> Okay, yeah that’s what I thought.

With that area it's just so easy to apply your products INWARD and up, basically following because your nose is right there basically acting like a "ramp" of some sort. <font color="#990033"><strong>Teri</strong>: For the eye area, I do a quick sweep outwards but for the nose area, I just apply into the "ramp" without much thoughts. After I read your comments I tried and I realized that I apply quickly inward but downwards, following the curve. </font> How do you take care of the nose area the butterfly area, the spot right below each eye, that fans out from your nose.
