Facial massage is a magical skincare secret that have become so popular throughout Asia.
In fact it's essential for the makeup routines of all Japanese celebrities, and super popular
in Korea as it helps achieve a smaller face by releasing toxins and fluid retention as well as firming the skin
All this benefits are so important as it helps you achieve the magical v line face shape
Facial massage can also create a healthy glow in your skin by improving circulation, as well
as relax and release tension and stress that builds up in your face. Best of all
it's so simple and easy to do at home.
Today I'll be teaching a facial massage technique that uses a simple spoon.
You'll need
A facial massage oil or cream. I'm using the pure fiji nourishing exotic massage oil
which is perfect for dry skin. Those with acne prone skin should use a gel. The purpose of this
product is to remove the friction cause when massaging so you don't pull and damage your skin
You'll also need a big Chinese spoon. Amazingly the Chinese spoon it's
the perfect instrument for facial massage and you can pick this up from any asian grocery store
Lets start!
I really wanted to know how effective this facial massage was, so I measured my face.
I'll let you know how many mm I lost after the facial massage at the end of this video
I could feel some fluid retention in my face and a little bit of sagging
It's important to remember never to massage your face for more than 10 minutes in each session
to ensure that you don't damage your skin. Your strokes should be quite firm but not painful
If you press too hard it may actually hurt your skin so please apply enough pressure to
feel the massage but it should not be painful.
Before we begin, we need to apply the massage oil or cream onto our face
Lets start the official massage with our cheeks
To achieve a lifting effect it's important to go against gravity and to use firm upward strokes
Use the roundest part of the spoon and pull up from your chin to your ears
Make sure all your strokes are in upward direction. Again we don't want to be rubbing up and down
We just want to go upwards
Make sure you do this in both sides of your face
You can also use the side of your spoon if you wanna cover more area in one stroke
Some people prefer this method
You can switch back to the other part of the spoon for more small areas
around your cheek such as the sides
Let's move on to our forehead
You also want to use upward strokes for this area
Using the same part of your spoon work your upward strokes from one side to the other
You can repeat the full area a couple of times
Now use the back of the spoon for smaller areas. See how perfect this spoon is?
Use the end of your spoon to get in between your eyes and over your eyelids
Trust me this feels really great, especially if your eyes are tired
You can also use this part of the spoon for under your eye. Gently lift it up
Also for some reason the spoon just fits in perfectly in around this curves. It's absolutely amazing!
For your nose stroke down towards your cheeks
For your chin you can start from the curve of your neck and run the spoon up towards your chin
Do this all the way around your neck in upward motions towards your jaw
To finish off the massage we need to release the toxins and fluids that has built up in our face
We do this by using downward strokes from our jawline
Remember these need to be downward strokes
to move the fluid from our face to our neck and into our body to be flushed away
Remember to repeat all of this steps for a couple of minutes in each area
and never to do more than ten minutes of massage at a time
And now we're done
If you love your massage oil or cream feel free to leave it on your face for a while before washing it away
Otherwise if your prone to breaking out from these creams and oils you can wash it off after your massage
I love how firm and soft it makes my skin feel afterwards
In fact I noticed the biggest difference the next day, my face was much, much smaller!
However just after the massage I measured my face again and then I actually lost 3 mms of my face
This risults may vary with you depending on how much bloating or sagging you initially had
I love how something so natural can give your skin so many benefits
And you don't need expensive creams or skincare products to achieve firm, glowing skin
I've been told it's one of the best things to do for anti-ageing as well
Don't forget to follow up your massage with a smile
I'd love to know if you guys are currently incorporating facial massage into your skincare routine
