How to Do Facial Massage
If your skin is dry or dehydrated, your skin will benefit from doing an at-home facial massage once a week.
If you’re visiting an esthetician for regular facial visits, performing a facial massage once every 2-3 weeks between visits will give your skin a boost!
Cleanse
Before you begin facial massage, you need to cleanse your face.
Washing your face before facial massage is essential to ensure your skin absorbs all of the benefits of the product you’ll use during the massage.
Choose Your Serum or Moisturizer
After cleansing, you can perform the facial massage using your favorite serum or moisturizer.
Visit our face serum guide and face moisturizer guide to find the right product for your skin type or concern.
Facial Massage Step-by-Step
Before beginning the facial massage, make sure you have enough product so that your fingers will be able to slip over your face. You do not want there to be any friction or resistance while performing the massage.
1. Apply your serum or moisturizer all over your face and neck.
2. Do upward strokes on neck and cheeks.
3. Using middle finger do circular movements around eyes.
4. Apply pressure on the temples. Repeat circular motion around eyes.
5. Do upward feathery movements on forehead.
6. Use “effleurage” movements on cheeks and jaw.
7. Perform "tapotement" movements – light taps on cheeks and forehead.
Tip: Always work your movements in an upward direction for an added lifting effect.
