What are the benefits of facial massage?
When you ask a beautician or beautician to massage your face, it not only relaxes you but also benefits your skin. Facial massage has many short-term and long-term effects, including:
- Increased blood flow in the skin
- Spreading fat all over the skin and preveing the appearance of wrinkles on the face
Types of facial massage
In this episode, Ms.Joanna CzechThe skin and hair consulta explains three facial massage techniques to you. Each of these techniques has its effect and becomes more complete with the next technique (of course, if you have time, use all three techniques).
1. Facial massage for cleansing
How to do massage
- Apply a degreaser (like Lamers) gely on your face skin; Instead of rubbing it on your face and quickly wiping it off, massage it on your face; Because this work increases its effect by 30%.
- Use any cleanser you like or that is compatible with your skin and apply it with two fingers in a circular motion on your forehead; massage it outwards and temples; Gely massage the area around your eyes and then move down to the nose, cheeks, jawline, neck and chest.
- People often do not pay atteion to the skin of their chest area, while the skin of this area is one of the first places to show signs of aging or sunburn.
- After massaging the face, go back to the areas that are more difficult to massage, such as the jaw area and the T-zone.
- Then, wash the cleanser with cold water uil the redness of your face disappears; If you cannot tolerate cold water, use lukewarm water, but do not use hot water.
2. Massage to give volume to the face
Backstage at fashion shows, you often see models' faces being massaged before applying makeup. This makes their skin shine more under the lights.
If you use a serum or toner (like Lamers), the effect of this type of massage is even greater, as these ingredies are easily absorbed by the skin (look for a serum that has a blue base, not alcohol or acid).
How to do massage
- Put the head on a cotton napkin and put it on your chest and remove it; Then move upwards to the neck, chin and smile lines. “This moveme is uplifting and disseminating.” When you put the tissue on the skin and press, your skin will stretch a little and when you remove the tissue, your skin will release and absorb the ingredies better.
- When you reach the area around the eyes, gely raise the eyebrows and massage the area around the eyes upwards and towards the eyebrows a few times. Dr. Check warns: “The skin around the eyes is thinner than anywhere else on the body. This skin is 400 times thinner than the skin of the soles of the feet.
- In the forehead area, massage upwards three times, starting from the middle of the forehead and massaging outwards. Then massage horizoally along the forehead lines three times, starting from the eyebrows and going up. After a few hours, the result of your work will be obvious, but the more time passes and the more you use this type of massage, the better results you will get.
tip: Check recommends using this type of massage whenever you wa to use a toner, but it makes more sense to do it a few times a week or before special occasions.
3. Facial massage to remove puffiness
You can take two ice cubes and massage them on your face mask sheets, this will make the ingredies in these masks stick to your skin and have a longer effect.
This type of massage will have an extremely soothing effect after a sleepless night or crying. Dr. Chek says: “You can use this type of massage at night or during the day, whenever you are tired, or your facial skin is puffy or red due to eating salty foods or the sun, etc., you can use this type of massage.”
You can use this type of massage on any type of mask, you can even use it on your night cream so that it stays on your skin better.
How to do massage
- Put a mask on your face and take a piece of ice in each hand (you can wrap the ice in a cotton cloth so that they are not too cold and wet);
- Then massage them along your forehead, under the eyes, on the cheeks, under the chin and down to the neck;
- In order for your face to sleep better, massage from your nose outwards.
4. Skin brightening massage
To perform a massage for clear skin, first clean your face completely, you can wash your face with soap and water for this. Our suggestion is to always wash your face thoroughly before doing any type of massage and use a make-up remover or olive oil to clean your face of any impurities. Then wash your face with lukewarm water and pat your face with a dry towel. Now we teach this massage step by step.
Start the massage from the lymphatic area!
Many believe that toxic substances penetrate from the face to the lymph nodes under the eyes and around the neck. Starting the massage from these areas will help release toxic substances and will preve the formation of these toxins in your face over time; It is better to use your fingertips to massage the lymphatic area and massage the lymphatic area in circular motion for one minute.
- Massage under your eyes and slowly go down towards the throat, then massage on both sides of the chin and go up again.
- Your fingers should be firm and firm, but we don't mean so firm that it hurts the skin on your face.
Massage around your face too!
- massage around your chin and around your mouth in a circular manner;
- Try to massage your facial skin upwards and never pull your skin downwards;
- Coinue this massage for one minute.
Massage your forehead!
- First, try to massage both sides of the head in a circular manner and then come to the ceer of the forehead;
- then go to both sides of the forehead again and massage both sides at the same time;

Massage around the eyes!

tip: Massage around the eyes will reduce puffiness under and around the eyes and will make your appearance more attractive and younger. It is better to use more oil for massaging around the face to avoid stretching the skin around your face.
Repeat all the movemes once more!
- Massage all parts of your face again; After completing the exercises, you can feel the change; Your face will look younger, fresher and brighter.
Why is it better to massage the face with oil?
Apply a thin layer of oil on your face; Using oil during the massage will make your fingers move more easily on the face.
Using oil on the skin of the face makes your skin clear and bright; You can use a mixture of oils or just one type of oil that suits your skin type; Our suggestion is oils such as argan and jojoba, which open the pores of the skin naturally.
- If your skin is very dry and sensitive, use argan oil or almond oil.
- If you have normal or oily skin, use jojoba oil or a mixture of jojoba oil and castor oil.
- If you hate your face getting oily, you can also use your favorite moisturizers.
The best time for facial massage
The best time for a facial massage can be differe for each person, caress and massage your face whenever you feel like it! But what time is probably more useful for facial massage?
- before sleep: Massaging your face before going to bed relaxes your facial muscles, reduces stress, and ultimately you will sleep better. Since you usually wash your face and use skin care products before bed, it is also an ideal time for facial massage.
- After washing the face: Facial massage after cleansing can help open pores and improve absorption of care products. This will help your skin care products absorb better. Of course, don't forget to always wash your hands first and then your face with suitable deterges before massaging your face and massage clean skin.
- In the morning: Facial massage at the beginning of the day and when you have just woken up will reduce the swelling and puffiness of your face and help you start your day with a more lively and youthful face!
Number of facial massages per week
For most people, facial massage 2-3 times a week is enough to enjoy the benefits of massage and not to cause any irritation or damage to their skin. But in general, it depends on your skin type, the purpose of your massage, the techniques and the skin care products you use.
If your skin is sensitive and inflamed, start with a massage once a week to see how your skin reacts. In this situation, the massage should be very gele and using special products for sensitive skin!
For those looking to reduce wrinkles (such as fine lines around the eyes, puffiness under the eyes, or lines on the forehead), daily massage may be more beneficial. You can make your massage more useful with special and gele techniques and the use of massage tools such as facial rollers or guasha.
- tip: Facial massage is differe from massage of other parts and tissues of the body, because facial skin is more sensitive than other areas of the body, and you must be extremely careful while doing the massage. If you notice redness, inflammation, swelling, or any other adverse reaction, stop the massage and consult a dermatologist.
