Meghan Markle swears by bizarre TONGUE massage

Meghan Markle swears by bizarre TONGUE massage



She's become one of the globe's most famous faces practically overnight with women desperate to discover the sartorial and beauty secrets behind Meghan Markle's effortless look.



So how has Prince Harry's 36-year-old girlfriend remained fresh-faced and what's the secret behind her youthful glow? As Get The Gloss reveals, it's all down to one woman.



Indeed, Meghan has enlisted the help of Nichola Joss, the London-based facialist who counts Kate Moss and Jennifer Lopez among her roster of clients.



Nichola is famed - and loved by the A-list - for her bizarre 'inner facial', which costs £250 and involved her massaging the inside of her client's mouths.



Speaking to Birchbox, Meghan revealed: 'I do facial exercises taught to me by one of my favorite aestheticians, Nicola Joss, who basically has you sculpt your face from the inside out. I swear it works, as silly as you may feel.



'On the days I do it, my cheekbones and jawline are waaaay more sculpted. There’s a reason she is in high demand around awards season when every actress wants to look A-plus.'



As Nichola demonstrates in a video tutorial, she pulls on her surgical gloves and massages her client's face from inside the mouth.





On her website, she explains: 'This is designed with you in mind, looking at the tone texture and condition of your skin and addressing sagging muscles through deep lymphatic massage and contouring techniques Nichola has designed to lift the facial contours and give a fresh radiant look to the skin.



'This treatment involves massage from inside the mouth to de stress the muscle tissue and improve the tone and firmness of the facial muscles to add youth and vitality.



'Encouraging the muscles to sit higher and with more volume and youth. All designed around a bespoke cocktail of products to add a personalised treatment especially for your skin.'



As well as this peculiar treatment, Meghan credits her mum, Doria, a yoga teacher and social worker, for her complexion. It was Doria who insisted Meghan started having professional facials at 13 — a habit she has kept.



Remembering her first forays into the beautician’s, Meghan says: ‘It seemed so silly at the time. We would drive home with my mom saying: “You must always take care of your skin.”



‘To feel confident in my skin requires a bit of maintenance, from drinking lots of water, to always applying sunblock, and getting a facial as often as possible,’ she says.
