The DIY Facial Massage Your Face Will Love You For

About thirty muscles are linked together beneath the skin of the face and head. Most of these muscles are used by us every day. Repetitive muscle expansions and contractions can deplete our skin and lead to an accumulation of toxins. Regular massage can increase blood circulation and improve both the firmness and resilience of our skin. Always approach your face with a gentle and mindful touch.

Follow this simple technique to give yourself regular facial massages:

Begin by applying facial oil to your hands. Rub the formula between your palms to heat the oil and to evenly distribute it over hands and fingertips. Set a healing intention before you begin.

Press your fingers between brows and slide out towards your temples, repeating several times to cover the entire area.

Massage the upper eyelids, by sliding the fingers outwards from the bridge of the nose. For the lower eyelids, slide the fingers outwards in an arc as if ironing out the fine lines at the corners of the eyes. Finish by sliding down towards the sides of the cheeks.

Continue, by sliding fingers downward along the bridge of the nose, then move the fingers carefully up and down along the nostrils.

Around the mouth, massage above and below the lips in turn, sliding the fingers from the center outwards.

For the cheeks, move in a spiral direction from the jawline up to the temples.

Stroke the nape of the neck downwards towards the chest.

To end, gently place your hands over your face and take a few deep, relaxing breaths. With each exhale, feel your body release whatever you’re holding onto that doesn’t serve you.

Then, slide your hands outward towards the bottoms of the ears. Gently pull your earlobes. Release and relax.
