Regain your youthful glow with this easy, all-natural, at-home ritual. It will make your skin firmer, nourished, and years younger.

Steps for Self-Facial Massage at Home

1. Start with a clean face. Use your regular moisturizer or a facial oil. This lets your hands glide easily.
2. Relax your facial muscles.
3. Warm your hands by rubbing them together briskly. Warm hands feel soothing.
4. Use very light pressure. Avoid tugging or dragging the delicate skin.
5. Focus extra time on wrinkle zones. These include your forehead, between brows, crow’s feet, cheeks, and around your mouth.
6. Try different massage techniques:

• Gliding – Smoothly move fingers and palms outward across the skin.
• Petrissage – Gently roll and lift skin between fingers. Do not pinch.
• Drainage – Sweep hands lightly down the face and neck. This stimulates circulation.
• Circular motions – Apply gentle circles on wrinkles with finger pads.

7. Finish by tapping all over the face. This boosts blood flow to the skin’s surface.
8. Always reapply sunscreen before going outside. UV rays severely worsen face wrinkles.
9. Aim for daily massage. Or at least a few times a week. Consistency is vital.

Extra Tips for Anti-Wrinkle Facial Massage

• Use a serum or oil with wrinkle-fighting ingredients. Let it soak in during massage. 
• Reapply sunscreen after your facial massage to protect new skin from further sun damage..
• Use a chilled jade roller or gua sha tool. The cool stone helps de-puff.
• Focus on your worst wrinkle spots. Dedicate more massage time to problem areas.
• Go lightly around delicate areas like eyes, lips, and neck. Use feather-light strokes.
• Follow massage with a nourishing sheet mask. Lock in moisture.
• Do facial yoga, too. Exercises like wide-mouth smiles stretch muscles under the skin.
• Wear daily SPF. Sun exposure attacks collagen and elastin in the skin.

Tips for Best Results

• Be patient. It takes 4-6 weeks of daily massage to notice significant improvements. But your complexion will look fresher and more toned.
• Aim to massage for 5-10 minutes per session. Always include neck and décolletage.
• Use longer, deeper strokes on cheeks and jawline. Use lighter pressure on more fragile areas.
• Do lymphatic drainage strokes toward lymph nodes. This reduces puffiness.
• Drink lots of water and use a humidifier. Hydration plumps up skin cells.
• Manage stress levels through yoga, meditation, and therapy. Stress takes a toll on the skin.
• Sleep on your back. Sleeping face-down can etch lines into the skin.
