Facial massages increase blood circulation to your facial tissue, resulting in brighter, glowing skin.

Facial massages can also help to lift and firm your beautiful skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. As an added benefit, a good facial massage reduces stress, leaving you feeling relaxed and peaceful.

Follow the tips below to get a good facial treatment:

Start with clean skin

Complete your face-washing routine before conducting your massage. Cleanse your face using a gentle cleanser or oil, rinse it with lukewarm water, then pat your face dry with a towel.

Using a bit of oil helps your fingers move smoothly across your face, rather than dragging on your skin. It also leaves your face bright and glowing when you’re through with the massage. You may use a blend of oils formulated especially for the face, or choose a single oil that works best with your skin type.

Many believe that toxins drain from the face to the lymph nodes, located under your ears on the sides of your neck. Massaging this area helps to release the toxins and prevent them from building up in your face. Using the tips of your fingers, massage your lymph area in a circular motion for one minute.

Using the same wide circular strokes, massage along the sides of your jaw, past the corners of your mouth, next to your nostrils, and over your cheekbones. Push your skin up, then out; never down, since this can cause sagging to occur. Continue for one minute.
Use a broad circular motion to massage both sides of your forehead at the same time. Start near your temples and move gradually in toward the middle of your forehead, then back out to the sides. Continue for one minute.
Position your fingers at the arch of your brows. Sweep them around the outside corners of your eyes, gently move them under your eyes, and end with your fingers at the inside corners of your eyes. Continue along up the sides of your nose and along your brow lines. Repeat the motion for one minute.
Gently massage each part of your face again to end your massage. Your skin should look bright, fresh, and rejuvenated when your massage is complete.
