What Do You Need?

1. Cold water
2. Baby oil
3. Cotton swabs or pads
4. Exfoliator & face scrub
5. Homemade Massage Cream
6. Face mask
7. Toner
8. Skin moisturizer

Preparation

1. Before you massage your skin, you need to remove any makeup from your skin. If you do not wear any, then you are a step ahead. If you do wear makeup, then apply some baby oil to a cotton pad and use the pad to wipe the makeup off your face. Rinse with cold water.

2. Use a cleanser (like this Chamomile facial wash)  to further clean your skin of any toxins. Be gentle as you apply the cleanser to your face and rub it into your skin. Rinse with cold water.

3. Take your exfoliator and face scrub. Be gentle, yet firm as you exfoliate your face. Take care to scrub your entire face, paying particular attention to the areas around your eyes, nose, and mouth.

The Massage

1. After your face has been cleaned, cleansed, and exfoliated, your skin is ready to be massaged. If your skin has become irritated by the cleaning, wait a few minutes before massaging. Once you are done with scrubbing, it’s time to use massage cream for the face.

2. Take some of your homemade cream (which you should have made before starting this whole process) and rub it into your hands so that it is warmed. The cream should become more liquid-like, allowing it to absorb into your skin easier.

3. Start at the bottom of your face; your neck or your chin. Move from the bottom to the top, ending with your forehead. As you apply the cream, do so in an upwards direction. Continue to apply the cream (adding more to your fingers as needed) until your entire face is covered.

4. Once you have applied the cream to the entirety of your face, you can begin to massage the skin. Massage in an upwards direction. Give equal time to all facial muscles.

5. Pull the skin towards the sides of your face as you are massaging. Pay particular attention to the areas around your mouth, nose, and eyes (even your eyelids).

6. You can massage your skin for as long as you wish, but when the face cream has been absorbed, you can stop. If you wish to continue, apply more face cream to your hands and start over.
