How To Give Yourself A Facial Massage
Facial massage is a great way to loosen muscles and to provide a quick feeling of rejuvenation. It's an enjoyable way to relieve muscle tension in your face and improve blood and lymph circulation. Massaging your face will bring blood to the surface, clear out puffines and will reduce fatigue in your skin. You can perform these techniques when you need a moment to relax, like after a stressful morning at work, or between meetings, or while your laying in the bath.
You can use any of the all natural, 100% organic, botanical face serums from I Love My Botanicals line. Use a serum that is suitable for your skin type.
1) Apply one or two pumps of facial serum in the palm of your hand and rub both hands together. This should be enough serum for a 5 minute facial massage.
2) Cupping both hands over your nose and inhale 3 times, taking in the relaxing lavender aroma when using my face serums. Then use both hands and pat the serum all over your face, eyes, neck and decollatage (cleavage area).
