Published

on

Facial massages are extremely rejuvenating. You can easily give yourself a facial massage at home if you know the right techniques. Don’t worry. Here, we have a step-by-step guide to help you out!

A facial massage stimulates the different pressure points to work out the facial muscles. It helps promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, minimize signs of aging, and keep the skin firm. You may use lotions, oils to provide the required slip and use facial rollers, gua sha tools, or just your fingers to follow the movements across your face. So, without further ado, scroll down and check out the steps.

How To Do A Facial Massage At Home – Step By Step Guide

Before you start, do the following:

  • Clean your face with a mild cleanser. Your skin should be clean before you start massaging.
  • Choose a good facial oil. For dry skin, pick almond, marula, or argan oil. For oily skin, pick jojoba or grapeseed oil. For acne-prone skin, pick rosehip seed oil. For sensitive skin, pick aloe vera or moringa oil.
  • If you do not want to use oil, you may go for a good quality moisturizer/cream for face massage.
  • Make sure to wash your hands properly.

Massage Your Forehead

  • Place your knuckles on your forehead, right between your eyebrows.
  • Gently move them up, towards the hairline, and then sideways towards your temples. Do this in a scraping motion.
  • Repeat this movement five times.

Massage The Eye Area

  • Place the tips of your middle and index fingers on your temples.
  • Glide the fingers under your eye area, towards the nose bridge.
  • Continue gliding it over the eyebrows and then come back again under the eye area, following an oval path.
  • Repeat this five times.

Massage The Cheeks

  • Place your knuckles on your cheeks, near the nose bridge.
  • Swipe it gently across your cheeks, towards the ears.
  • Repeat the movement five times.

Massage The Mouth Area

  • Make a “V” sign with your index and middle fingers (both hands).
  • Place the fingers on your mouth area in a way that the index finger is above the upper lip and the middle finger is below the lower lip.
  • Gently press and pull the fingers towards your ears.
  • Repeat five times.

Massage The Chin Area
