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.
2. Massage ScheduleIf 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.

Benefits of the Self-Love Massage Facial
The benefits of the self-love massage technique are endless. You get a natural skin lift with reduced puffiness, toned facial muscles, better blood flow & healthier blood vessels.
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.
