Why this worksFace massage helps to increase blood flow, which can enhance skin health and create a natural glow. The gentle pressure can also relieve tension in facial muscles, making you feel more relaxed. Plus, it’s a great way to incorporate skincare products for better absorption.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean face and apply a light facial oil or moisturiser. This helps your fingers glide smoothly over the skin, preventing tugging and irritation.
  2. Start with Forehead Use your fingertips to gently massage from the centre of your forehead outwards. This helps relieve tension and promotes relaxation in the forehead area.
  3. Cheekbone Lift Apply firm, upward strokes from your chin to your ears using your palms. This technique not only feels good but also stimulates circulation around your cheeks.
  4. Jawline Definer Use your thumbs to apply pressure along your jawline, moving from the chin towards the ears. This can help relax tight muscles and enhance your jawline's appearance.
  5. Eye Area Soother With your ring fingers, gently tap around your eyes, moving from the inner corner to the outer corner. This can help reduce puffiness and promote relaxation.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include using too much pressure, which can irritate the skin, or skipping the oil, leading to friction. Not being consistent with your routine can also limit the benefits.

The pro moveTry incorporating a jade roller after your massage for an extra cooling effect and to further enhance circulation.
