Outer Brow Index Press

Sit tall at an eye-level mirror. Soften the jaw and drop the shoulders. Place the pads of both index fingers lightly on the outer brow tails near the temples — match the cover. Keep the other fingers softly curled and thumbs free. Pressure about 2/10. Hold four seconds while you intend the outer brow and temple line to soften, not scrape toward the hairline. Optional: after the hold, glide once slowly a short way toward the temple, then return. Release two seconds. Complete eight holds. Never dig into the orbital bone or yank the brow skin hard.

• Primary — Soft cue for the outer frontalis/temporal soft-tissue line under light index pads at the brow tails; not a deep bone dig.
• Neighbors — Orbicularis oculi stays quiet; this is not a crow’s-feet scrape into the eye.
• Hand cue — Index pads only on the outer brow tails like the cover; other fingers curled.
• Contrast — Outer Brow Tail Pinch uses a pinch grip; Inner Brow Resistance works the inner brows; Inner-Brow Pinch Anchor works the brow starts.
• Keep quiet — Masseter clench and shoulder hike. The cover’s calm open gaze is the standard.

Mirror at eye level. Shoulders down. Set both index pads on the outer brow tails before any hold — match the cover.

Inhale as both index pads settle on the outer brow tails. Exhale during the four-second soften hold. Keep the jaw unlocked — no teeth clench.

• Eye-level mirror
• Clean hands; optional thin cream for comfort
