The benefits of facial massage have been popping up in articles from Into the Gloss to the Wall Street Journal. Smoothing of fine lines, relief from puffy eyes and detoxification of the skin - without adding any new products? Worth a try, for sure.
While intriguing, reading the articles did not translate into practice for me. This video by DermStore with New York-based facialist Joanna Vargas gives a quick and simple tutorial on how to give yourself a face massage.
If you like the massage, a fun tool to try is the Georgia Louise Lift + Sculpt Butterfly Stone. The pretty rose quartz stone comes with instructions for giving yourself a detoxifying massage with similar healing and anti-aging results.
As anyone with a cat can tell you, they rarely do things that don't feel good. My cat Oscar spends large portions of his days finding ways to have his face massaged. Take a cue from the animal kingdom and see if you can benefit from facial massage.
