Face Massage

Assalamualaikum.

When you talk about massage, normally what would appear in our minds would be foot and body massage, right? Well, our face needs massages too. The good news is, we can do it ourselves (no need to pay that extra ka-ching to the expensive spa) in our own home and, it is not wrong to ask your hubby to massage it for u ngehehehe :p

Face massage is like coffee for the skin. Everything comes to life. By relaxing muscles and connective tissue, massaging the face softens expression-induced lines around your eyes, lips and brows, helps expel acne-causing toxins and de-puffs and brightens the eye area. It also increases circulation, oxygenating the blood and encouraging the presence of fresh, healing red blood cells. (All those for free? I'm stupid if I don't do it)

So here are the simple steps: (For an especially hydrating treatment, try it in the bath using organic oil.)

1. Start on the cheeks. Draw big circles using your fingers or knuckles, moving upward.

2. On one side of the face at a time, rub from the mid jaw to the cheekbone with long upward strokes, pressing firmly for a moment at the top.

3. Work smile lines with upward strokes, from the corners of the mouth to the corners of the nose.

4. With your fingers, lift and hold both brows to open up the eye area. Rub in a circle around the eye socket out to the temples, eventually expanding to include the forehead.

5. To plump lips, use thumbs and index fingers to quickly pluck all across the top and bottom lip, which stimulates blood flow.

these are the area needed to be massaged in order to stay young and prettyyyy
