Why this worksFacial massage increases blood circulation, which can help deliver nutrients and oxygen to your skin. This technique also encourages lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and promoting a more radiant complexion. Plus, it’s a great way to relieve tension in the facial muscles.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup or impurities. Follow up with a hydrating serum or facial oil to provide slip during the massage.
  2. Warm Up Your Hands Rub your hands together to warm them up before starting the massage. This helps create a more soothing experience and enhances relaxation.
  3. Use Gentle Pressure Starting at the centre of your face, use your fingertips to apply gentle pressure in an upward motion. Focus on areas like your cheeks, forehead, and jawline. Remember to use light pressure, especially around sensitive areas.
  4. Incorporate Circular Motions Use your fingertips to make small circular motions on your forehead and around your eyes. This helps release tension and improves circulation in these areas.
  5. Finish with a Drainage Technique To complete your massage, use your palms to sweep from the centre of your face outwards, down your neck. This technique promotes lymphatic drainage and leaves your skin looking more refreshed.

Where people go wrong

Many people apply too much pressure, which can irritate the skin instead of soothing it. Others forget to warm their hands first, missing out on that soothing touch. Lastly, skipping the hydration step can lead to friction and discomfort during the massage.

The pro moveTry using a jade roller or gua sha tool for added cooling and soothing effects during your massage.
