Taking care of your complexion is essential for a youthful and rested face. That's why one way to keep it in check is through facial massages. Some people turn to a professional to help them relax the muscles of the skin and prepare the skin to absorb beauty treatments with maximum effectiveness. Massaging the face on a regular basis also helps to reduce the effects of ageing. You don't need to go to a specialist, you can do it yourself at home. How? It's very easy, we'll tell you how!
Before we get ready to do our facial massage you have to cleanse your face. In order for our skin to receive the right stimulation, it must be free of make-up, bacteria and impurities. Once it is clean, it is ready for the massage.
Take your moisturiser and smear it on your fingers, about the size of a walnut. This will give you a better glide and also moisturise your face. Let's get started:
Eye contour: is the most sensitive area of our face. Bags and dark circles under the eyes tend to appear. It is important to relax this area. To do this, tap the tips of your index and middle fingers around the eyes and temples. Then press with your index fingers only between your eyebrows and move them up and down, drawing a circle.
Nose: There is an area of tension between the tear ducts and the bridge of the nose. To relieve this, place your fingers on the bridge of the nose and gently press down from there and then across the lower eyelids. This helps to prevent eye bags.
Front: With your hands on your forehead in an upright position, move one hand upwards and the other downwards. The skin on your forehead will move gently in a zigzag pattern. Once this movement is finished, we place our fingers horizontally on the lines of the forehead and rub from one side to the other.
Commissure of the mouth: on the line of the mouth, exerting pressure, make small, counter-clockwise circles.
Chin: Lightly pinch the contours of this area. Then move from the centre of the chin to the ears. This will improve the skin on the neck.
These are very simple massages, which, when performed continuously, contribute to the improvement of the health, quality and rejuvenation of the skin. They also help to improve the absorption of your moisturiser and subsequent treatments. Try stimulating your skin, your face will thank you for it.
