Face Massage

I used to work with a Korean Designer who let me in on a Korean beauty secret. She told me to massage my face every night to look younger. I always remember her when I apply my night serums and try to do a mini facial type massage, but I wanted to find more specific methods to help increase circulation. When applying your serum or oils they suggest using a tapping method. They recommend not leaving out the neck and shoulders as this will help in circulation and reduce any swelling of the face. They also recommend massaging the face upward from the center of the face towards the ear.
Use the tip of your fingers so that you don’t apply too much pressure. Making a gentle fist and making circular motions is also another method that feels great. Don’t forget your lip area. As we age the lip area starts to age, so try to reverse this by literally turning the frown upside down. Use your index fingers to push up the sides of your mouth as if you are smiling. How often do you need to massage? Every day if you can. Try to make it a part of your nighttime skincare routine.
