Do you massage your skin? It’s an easy way to improve the appearance and health of your skin!
BENEFITS OF FACIAL MASSAGE
1. Increases Blood Circulation – Blood carries NUTRIENTS, OXYGEN, and WATER to the skin, and it removes WASTE away from skin. So better circulation means healthier, more hydrated skin.
2. Cleans Your Skin More Thoroughly – If you massage while cleansing with a CLEANSING OIL, you’ll get a deeper clean. The cleansing oil will have more time to pick up sebum, makeup, and sunscreen.
3. Alleviates Dryness – Rubbing stimulates the sebaceous glands, so you produce more oil. If you have drys kin, massage will help. If you have oily skin, you can still massage *while cleansing with a cleansing oil* in order to achieve a deeper clean. Just don’t do it for long (not more than 1 min.)
4. Improves Lymph Drainage – Lymph fluid circulates throughout the body, and is a way for the body to detoxify itself. Lymph drainage slows down with age. So massage can assist the flow of it out.
MASSAGE TIPS
1. The easiest way to massage your face is while you’re applying a CLEANSING OIL or MASK. The oil is ideal because it lubricates skin and allows your fingers to glide around skin easily.
2. 30 sec to 1 minute is good. 2 min is great if you have the time.
3. Use a few fingers on each hand. Rub in circular motions.
4. Focus on the areas in the pic – the nostrils, tip of the nose, bridge of the nose, and sides of the nose. These areas of the T-Zone get clogged easily.
5. Don’t worry about the exact choreography. There are movements and directions that are ideal, but as long as you’re rubbing, your skin is still benefiting!
