Basic Self Facial Massage Techniques

1. Go with the Flow — Massage Motion

A perfect facial massage should be conducted in harmony with the natural flow of the muscles.

Understanding your muscles with your movements improve the overall benefits of the massage.

2. Varying Sensitivity — Massage Pressure

The pressure applied in a massage should be adjusted to a level that feels comfortable. Modulate the pressure according to the varying levels of sensitivity on parts of your face.

The delicate skin around the eyes requires less pressure than other parts of the face. Feel free to apply more pressure to the cheeks and facial contours.

3. Feel your Heartbeat — Massage Speed

Get the best blood circulation benefits by adjusting the speed of your massage to your heart rate. Get in sync with your pulse.  

Times to Avoid Massage

Avoid face massages under the following conditions:

• When your skin is inflamed after extensive UV exposure
• Don’t massage parts of the skin with acne or boils, especially when inflamed or suppurating.
• When you have a fever
• When you a skin rash
• Avoid massaging areas with cuts, wounds, or bruises.  

Performing the Face Massage

1.   Use the Rejuvenating Face Mask

Apply a thick layer of the Rejuvenating Face Mask over face and neck taking care to avoid getting product into the eye area. The mask facilitates free-form motion and prevents unwanted skin rubbing.

If skin is severely dry and tired, then you may massage skin daily for up to 7 days. However we recommend this treatment up to three times weekly. However, the frequency of your facial massage should agree with your skin’s condition.

Around thirty muscles are linked together beneath the skin of the face and head.

Muscle stress caused by expansions and contractions of everyday actions like eating, smiling, or frowning can zap your energy and lead to an accumulation of toxins.

This massage technique revitalises the muscles and stimulates lymphatics to drain away all toxins. The Rejuvenating Face Mask infuses your skin with nutrients to improve skin health and complexion.
