Why this worksFacial massage increases blood circulation, helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your skin. This can lead to a brighter, more radiant appearance. Plus, the gentle movements help relieve tension and can promote lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean face and apply a light facial oil or moisturiser to allow your fingers to glide smoothly. This helps prevent tugging on the skin.
  2. Warm Up Using your fingertips, gently tap your face to warm up the skin. Focus on areas like your cheeks, forehead, and jawline for about a minute to stimulate circulation.
  3. Lift and Soothe With both hands, use upward strokes to lift the skin on your cheeks and jawline. Always move from the centre of your face outwards, and remember to be gentle around the eye area.
  4. Focus on Pressure Points Apply gentle pressure to key points on your face, such as the temples and between the eyebrows. Hold each point for a few seconds to release tension.
  5. Finish with Relaxation Conclude by placing your palms over your face and taking a few deep breaths. This helps to relax both your skin and mind.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is applying too much pressure, which can irritate the skin. Another is neglecting to use a product to aid movement, leading to friction. Lastly, skipping the warm-up can mean missing out on essential circulation benefits.
