One of their best-kept secrets when it comes to applying skincare? The facial massage. This simple yet effective technique can help improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and give your skin a natural glow. Follow along below to see how easy, and effective this addition can be to your self-care routine.
Benefits of a Facial Massage
Before we get into the how-to, let's look at why you should consider adding this to your skincare regimen:
- Improves blood circulation
- Reduces facial puffiness
- Promotes lymphatic drainage
- Relaxes facial muscles
- Enhances product absorption
- Gives skin a natural, healthy glow
Step by Step
1. Prepare Your Skin
Start with clean skin (and hands!). Massages are best done on moisturised skin. Our Anti-Ageing bundle is an easy 3-step routine to use. Start with our Rejuvenating serum followed by our A-C-E serum and finally the Anti-Wrinkle Cream. This will allow your fingers to glide smoothly.
2. Warm Up
Warm your hands by rubbing them together. This ensures a comfortable touch and helps with product absorption.
3. Forehead Strokes
Using your fingertips, make smooth, upward strokes from your eyebrows to your hairline. Repeat this motion several times.
4. Eye Area
Gently tap around your eyes with your ring fingers, moving from the inner corners outward. Be extra gentle in this delicate area. Perfect time to apply our Eye Cream to gently hydrate this area.
5. Cheek Circles
Make small, circular motions on your cheeks, moving from the center of your face outward towards your ears.
6. Jawline and Chin
Use your knuckles to make firm, upward strokes along your jawline, from your chin to your ears.
7. Neck
Don't forget your neck! Use gentle, upward strokes from the base of your neck to your chin.
8. Finish with Light Tapping
End your massage by lightly tapping your fingertips all over your face to stimulate circulation.
