One of the beauty secrets of Korean and Japanese women is regular face massages. This is usually combined with the double-cleansing method. Massage of the face improves circulation, keep wrinkles away, makes the skin more elastic, lessens stress, helps to clean up pores and helps creams and moisturisers to work better. Ideally, you should massage your face 2-3 times a week. Use an oil blend that will cleanse and moisturise the skin.
- Pour a small amount of the blended oil into the palm of your hand and gently apply all over the face. Avoid your eyes.
- With the backs of your hands, gently tap the skin around the jaw-line and underneath the chin to stimulate the skin cells.
- Apply small circular movements to the chin area, using your thumbs. This will tone, help circulation and eliminate toxins.
- Make an "oooh"-shaped mouth. Massage either side easing out fine lines.
- With your fingertips, press along the top of the cheekbones and massage outward up to the temples to release toxins.
- With the middle fingers, apply pressure to points above the bridge of the nose and underneath the eyebrows. Hold for 5 seconds and smooth across from the inner to the outer corners of the eyebrows and continue up to the temples.
- To relieve tension, apply firm pressure at either side of the temples, and rotate backward.
- Stroke up the forehead to the hairline with the palms of the hands, smoothing out fine lines.
