Facial massage helps promote healthy skin while relaxing your facial muscles. It has a relaxing and rejuvenating effect, helping you look and feel better. Whether you want to use facial massage purely for relaxation or to treat a specific condition, there are plenty of techniques to try.

Facial massage is a technique that involves the use of hands or a tool to gently massage the facial skin. It helps in increasing blood circulation, relaxes facial muscles, decreases puffiness and offers a healthy glow. Skin care experts recommend a facial massage 2-3 times a week for glowing skin.

Does facial massage really help?

“With the right technique, a facial massage may improve lymphatic drainage, aka ‘de-puff’ the skin,” said Dr. Emily Wise, board-certified dermatologist and founder of DermWellesley in Massachusetts. “Massage in general can also help to improve circulation and stimulate blood flow and may lead to a temporary more volumized and ‘glowy’ appearance.”

“Certain facial massage techniques can be used to sculpt the face by stimulating the muscles, ligaments and underlying tissues, which activates collagen production,” Said Marino, medical aesthetician and founder of The LA Facialist, “Other techniques will remove lymphatic fluid from the tissues, which will detoxify the skin, reduce inflammation and improve facial contours.”

Is it OK to massage your face everyday?

When the muscles on your face tense up, they are more likely to harbour wrinkles, which is why they need to be massaged out regularly. “All it takes is 1 to 2 minutes per day to relax,” says Baba, an aesthetician with The Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. However the length of time for a facial massage required depends on your skin type. For oily and acne-prone skin, it’s best to keep it to under 10 minutes. If skin has a normal to dry complexion, no longer than 20 minutes is necessary (too much stimulation can lead to breakouts).

Skin care experts advise on a facial massage at home 2-3 times a week. However, gentle massaging everyday for 5-10 minutes does no harm to your skin. It helps in promoting blood circulation and fading fine lines over time.

How To Do Facial Massage

A lot of L&L Skin’s customers have been enquiring about the right way of doing facial massage. So consider this as your crash course on how to do facial at home. The first step is to prep your skin:

• Cleanse your hands and tie back your hair.
• Wash your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Moisturize your skin.
• Choose an oil for your skin.
• Steam your face to soften the pores and to help with easy penetration of oils.
• Use your fingers in circular motion to gently massage your face. You can use deep and stimulating motions if you are looking to firm your skin.
• In case you have sensitive, acne-prone or oily skin, stick to light pressure.
• You can consider using skin care gadgets for massaging like a metal roller or jade roller if you’re comfortable.

How often should face be massaged?
