Facial Massage for a good blood supply and drainage of waste. Keep your face and your hands are clean before you begin.Japanese Facial Massage is a profound combination of traditional East Asian medical concepts and massage techniques that have been developed and modified from Anma (traditional Japanese massage) over the last five hundred years.
These therapeutic techniques stimulate facial nerves which reach the skin cells, to improve blood flow, nutrient distribution and the removal of toxins, impurities and dead skin cells.
This massage is the most effective natural treatment to enhance the condition of the skin and to minimize the aging process.
Facial massage is done to reduce the aging process and achieve younger looking and healthier skin. It is also used to relieve stress, migraine headache and nasal congestion due to sinus. Facial massage can be done by a professional massage therapist or simply at home. Massage of the face is usually done with the hands; however, mechanical massaging devices are also used in beauty salons or spas. A small amount of oil or lotion is often applied to facilitate movement over the delicate facial areas.
You can also go for an acupressure or yogic techniques for your facial massage.
The benefits of facial massage are as follows.
When do you need a facial massage?
Given below are some very common conditions to know thr right time to go for a facial massage
Glowing skin
If your skin is becoming darker day by day due some physical or mental problems you can go for a facial massage right then to ensure a healthy and a glowing skin.
Puffiness
Some women have a tendency to develop puffiness on their faces. If you are suffering with such a problem then you can be relived by treating yourself with a facial massage.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles today is a very common problem both for aged and young women. Massage stimulates blood circulation and increases oxygen in the face which in turn reduces wrinkles.
Double chin
Regular face massage tightens the loose flesh under the chin reducing the problem of double skin and making it look younger.
Below mentioned is a simple yet very effective process which you can perform at home on your home.
One of the key skills in aromatherapy is facial massage. Apart from being wonderfully relaxing it's a very simple way of stimulating both your lymphatic system as well as your accupressure points.What's great about it is it's a treatment that you can do for yourself, which will mean that you can see and feel benefits straight away.
I would recommend trying this for yourself to
Unblock sinuses
Exfoliate dead skin
Improve fluid retention problems like puffy eyes
General relaxation.
If you are using our Hayfever or Sinus treatements then really the most effective way that you can use them is to rub them into the skin over the sinus tracts as shown in figure 2
The migraine treatment is best rubbed onto the forehead as shown in figure 3.
If you decide to do a full facial massage, use a carrier oil or one of our blended massage oils and follow the diagrams.
If I were to do this as part of a full massage treatment or as a facial massage for a patient, the full treatment would last about 20 minutes, just to give you a guideline.
Obviously the way that this is done is using firm but light sweeping strokes and the larger part of your hand you use to "pull-up" the skin, the more relaxing it is.
We call these strokes effleurage.
So, come on then. Let's have a go....just follow with me.
Let's start with some lovely light effleurage strokes on neck, always massage upwards, so as not to drag your skin.
Now use your index finger to draw tiny circles along the jawline. You will feel that some of the points are tender and feel a bit sore to the touch. Don't worry. These are accupressure points.
To empty the tension and unblock these points, just keep a gentle pressure on until the tenderness goes away. Suddenly it just won't be there anymore.
Feel along where you have tension in your jawline and really smoothe it away.
When I am stressed I grit my teeth and this can start off being a bit painful for me because it is almost locked but it is a real stress buster. How's it feeling?
Good?
I'll bet.
So now do some nice, deep, circular strokes on your chin and lower lip.
Really work at it until you feel a kind of graininess under your fingers.
This is the dead skin cells sloughing off, which we call exfoliation. This will reveal a lovely fresh new layer of skin which is much brighter and healthier looking.
If you have any doubts of how much of a difference this can make to the appearance of your skin, let me tell you that this is reputed to be one of Cleopatras very own beauty secrets and if it's good enough for the woman that is reputed to have been the most beautiful woman in all of history...then I reckon it's definately worth a go, don't you?
Then effleurage on the sinus areas, across your cheekbones and the sides of the nose. This will usually take some exfoliation but it is worth it. Actually facial massage here is really good if you have acne, because sinus congestion can be a big factor. 
Now gently work around the ears. (Apologies for the strange diagram!) Kind of gently pinch as you gradually move up the ear.
This is very important because there are accupressure points for the entire body in your ear, in a similar representation to the reflexology points on your feet.
Ok, so as you get to the top of your ear where is all cartillidge, try to unfurl and straighten it out. Interestingly this curls inwards with stress. (Babies ears are not curly!!)
This should have you totally blissed out!!It's amazing, the power of touch, even if it's your own!
Next you want to work the accupressure points to the sinuses which are in and just above the eyebrows. There's another set just under the cheekbones. To do this trace the line along with your index finger.
To do your facial massage, do your tiny circles and feel where the blockages are. Again if it is tender...leave your finger there for a little while longer. Really pay attention to clearing them, so that you can get the energies running just right.
This will have you breathing easier in no time.
Something a bit different now. Any kind of fluid retention, for example puffy eyes is a sign that your lymphatic system is a bit sluggish. By tracing the lines across your forehead, out towards your ears and then down the side of your face to your collar bone, you can can push that lymphatic fluid into where it empties in the subclavian. (It actually empties in two places, here and in the groin).Do the same, working from your nose, along under your eyes to the side of your face and down to the subclavian again.
The most effective method is to use your two index fingers to alternately push the fluid forwards (you may feel it under your skin).
It take a tiny bit of practice but it really reduces puffiness.
Moving up to your forehead, you can really get to work with effleurage and little circles because not only is it full of accupressure points, especially along the hairline, but also it will be absolutely full of tension.
Really stroke the stress away but be careful to exfoliate the skin here too.
The forehead is an area that will see dramatic changes from facial massage. The skin will look, smoother and brighter, but younger too because of the fresh blood supply. Smoothing out the stress and tension gives you a more relaxed and younger expression to your face. This site has lots more information about the benefits of massage therapy if you have enjoyed learning about facial massage. Relaxed and younger looking! You can't ask for much more than that can you?
When I do a facial massage I always go on to take a firm , just grip of the hair at the roots and gently tug on it and that really releases a load of tension.
Work carefully and gently around the head. It's generally better to grab a bigger handful than a smaller one, so that it doesn't hurt so much.
Garnier Nutritioniste: Skin Renew Awakening Face Massager is your daily and nightly face moisturizer. Instead of applying with your fingers, you simply start rolling the massage ball across your face in circular motions. This allows the moisturizer to start to roll onto your face. Garnier recommends massaging for 1 minute, then rubbing in excess moisturizer into your face with your fingers.
We honestly do enjoy using this product. Our solution to the abundance of product on our face was to massage for the full minute, because it felt that good, and when the time came to use our fingers to rub in the excess, we'd use a tissue to wipe some away if we thought there was too much. Not very cost effective, right?
It's a tough one for us, because we loved the experience, we loved the product itself, there were just some kinks. You might not mind kinks because it's a drugstore-priced product. But if you don't have time for kinks altogether, just take note.
The red circles are starting and ending points for your fingers. The lines and arrows show the direction for the massage strokes. Where there are simply circles, there is little to no movement from that one area of the face.

Arlene Fleming Use your ring and middle fingers to ensure soft, even pressure. Remember to work with light, gentle strokes. Massage slowly and rhythmically, matching your movements to your breathing. Slow down the pace as your massage progresses.
Starting at the center of forehead, gradually move fingers across the brow in 6 complete circular motions. Repeat 3 times. Finish by gently pressing the pressure points at the temples for 3 counts. To locate your pressure points, feel for slight depressions between the bones at the temples. Pressure applied should feel pleasant and invigorating, never painful.
Step 2: Nose - Prevents the formation of horizontal lines.
Slide fingers downward along the sides of your nose, starting from the inner hollow of the eye. Use left hand to massage the right side of the nose, and the right hand for the left side. Repeat 3 times on each side of nose.
Step 3: Nostrils - Helps unclog pores and prevent blackheads and blemishes.
Circle back and forth around nostrils, applying extra pressure during the upward stroke. Repeat 6 times.
Step 4: Mouth - Minimizes lines around mouth and sagging at lip corners.
Massage along the lower lip, moving outward and upward to lift the corners of the mouth. Release gently. Repeat 3 times.
Step 5: Cheeks - Helps prevent sagging.
Massage outward from the chin to the earlobe, in 6 circular motions, focusing on the jawline. Glide fingers to corners of the mouth and massage up to the middle of the ear. Glide again to the nostrils and massage to the temples. Glide back to chin and repeat all steps 3 times. Finish by pressing the pressure points at your temples.
Step 6: Eyes - Prevents the formation of wrinkles and sagging under eyes.
Makes eyes look less tired by minimizing dark circles and puffiness. First, press the pressure points just under the brow bone below the inner eyebrows and count to 3. Then glide fingers under brow, around and under the eyes, and back to the starting point in 6 counts. Repeat entire procedure 3 times, moving gently over the eyelid to press at temples on the final count.
Step 7: Neck - Prevents the formation of horizontal lines and sagging.
Helps ease tension and stiffness at the nape. Using the palms of your hands, massage your neck by gently stroking upward from the collar bone to the base of the chin. Alternate hands as you move from the center to either side with 6 strokes out, then 6 strokes back. Glide lightly at the center of the neck and increase pressure as you move outward.
Step 8: Chin - Tones muscles to prevent sagging.
Grasp your chin between your index and middle finger at the jaw, and gently slide your fingers across the length of your jaw, creating a scissor-like motion. Bend index finger and place it under the jaw. Use the side of the index finger and pad of the thumb, massage back to right ear. Repeat with left hand. Repeat entire procedure 6 times.
Step 9: Ears - Regulates the body's overall balance through stimulation of pressure points that send reflexes to other parts of the body.
Massage upward in spiral motions, using the thumb and index fingers, counting to 5. On the 6th count, slide your thumb down the jaw as close to the ear as possible, and back to the earlobe to stimulate the numerous pressure points in this area. Repeat 3 times.
You don’t have to pay huge sums of money for a facial massage that will enliven your complexion, tone and condition your skin, relax your facial muscles, improve circulation, break down fatty deposits, release toxins, reduce wrinkles, and leave your skin feeling smoother and more vibrant. All it takes is a tiny bit of know-how.
These simple massage techniques are all-n/atural, as well as non-toxic and non-invasive, and they feel absolutely wonderful. The do-it-yourself way to healthier, more beautiful skin, right here:
Use a simple all-natural lotion or oil to facilitate the movement of your fingers on your skin (olive oil will do beautifully). Be sure to do this massage with clean hands and face, and leave your face damp before you begin. Pull your hair away from your face and have a small bowl of your lotion or oil at hand.
The 3 Basic Techniques:
1. Use the tips of the index, middle, and ring fingers together to exert a deep, local pressure in a tiny circular movement. You should be able to feel the skin rubbing against the small muscles of the face. Lift the fingers and reposition them to travel across the skin.
2. Use the flat pads of the index, middle, and ring fingers together or simply the thumb to travel across the skin–either in a slow, spiraling action, or by simply sliding upward, downward, or outward. For the most part, keep the remainder of your hand resting lightly on your face.
3. Pinching: Use your finger and thumb lightly but with enough strength to stimulate the circulation and cause as light change of skin color. Beware of bruising–pinch lightly on the eyebrows and upper face, more heavily along the jaw.
Basic Massage:
Warm-Up Starting on either side of your nose, pinch along each eyebrow and as far as possible along the temples toward the tops of the ears. Then pinch from the chin, working slowly along the jaw line and up to the base of the ears.
1. Dip the pads of your fingers in the oil and rub your palms together to spread it evenly. Place your fingertips on your jawbone and with light pressure, make a large, sweeping circle from the jaw line up either side of your nose to the center of the forehead, out along the hairline, and down the temples to meet at the jawbone. This gently stimulates energy and spreads the oil.
2. Using Technique 1, start at the chin and travel along the jaw line and then up from the angles of the jaw to the temples.
3. Using Technique 2, begin on each side of the nose, close to the base of the nostrils, moving first under the cheekbones and then up toward the tops of the ears.
4. Placing the tips of the middle fingers at the inner corners of the eyes, slide your fingers upward, pushing against the orbital bone, and then outward, just above the eyebrows, towards the ears.
5. Use Technique 2 to massage the forehead, starting just above the top of the nose, moving up toward the hairline, and then outward until you reach the temples.
6. Using Technique 2, position the pads of all three fingers at the base of the central frown line, just above the top of the nose, and slide them toward the temples.
7. Massage your scalp firmly, as if you were shampooing your hair. Begin at the temples and work downward, behind the ears and towards the base of the skull.
8. Resting your palms on your ears so that the thumbs point downward, massage from your throat to the nape of the neck in a broad, spiraling version of Technique 2.
9. Place one hand, palm down, on each side of your nose. Your fingertips should rest slightly above your eyebrows. With firm, even pressure, slide your hands outward toward the ears.
10. Bring the sequence to an end by repeating the sweeping movement described in step 1.
A facial massage promotes the feeling of well-being and is one of the oldest massage techniques for general healing. A regular facial massage gives your skin the look of a smoother, firmer, radiant appearance. Learn how to massage the face to increase moisture balance and eliminate toxins and impurities from your skin.
Prepare yourself and surroundings. Purchase or prepare your own massage oil. Thoroughly clean your face and smooth on massage oil. Set the tone of calmness by dimming lights, maybe even putting on some soft relaxing music.
Use your fingers. You will use three fingers to perform a face massage; the three fingers to use are the index, middle, and ring fingers on both hands. Your strokes will move in an upward motion to the extent possible as some areas of the face may require you move in a slightly different direction. However, when possible always move skin against the force of gravity.
Work the forehead. Place your fingers right above your eyebrows; with a gentle circular motion move your fingers across the forehead giving complete coverage. Repeat step four or five times.
Chin up. This time starting at your chin and moving upward in a gentle circular motion using your index and middle fingers. Massage upward towards and around the mouth and top of lips under your nostrils. Repeat motion five times.
Cut the fat. Using your forefinger and middle fingers, position them as if they were a pair of scissors. Starting where your jaw meets your ear, gently grasp the skin in this area between your scissor fingers; work your way down the jaw in a cutting motion. From the end of the jaw, massage back up to the ear using circular motions. Repeat five times. This process helps to reduce the fatty deposits that collect in this area.
Go to the temple. Starting at your chin, massage up to your cheeks using the middle and index fingers. Continue massaging up to the temple, massage in a circular motion. Repeat five times. Your face should feel renewed and relaxed.
Organic essential oils are safer for therapeutic use.
Some common applications of essential oils for the purpose of aromatherapy
are oils, baths, facials, massage, candles and ambient fragrances.
Any of these methods can be used as holistic therapy
for the mind, body and spirit.
When using essential oils in massage, always dilute the oils
in a carrier oil prior to application to the skin.
Essential oils are very powerful concentrates, and unless indicated otherwise,
should not be directly applied to the skin.
Essential oils should never be used undiluted on the skin.
There are instances when experienced aromatherapy users and practitioners
make exceptions to this precaution, but only once significant essential oil
knowledge is gained should you ever attempt to apply it undiluted.
Lavender and tea tree are listed by a large number of aromatherapy sources
as being oils that can be used undiluted. Undiluted use of lavender and tea tree,
however, should only be done on rare occurances as severe sensitivity
still could occur in some individuals.
Again, the safest rule of thumb is to never use any essential oil undiluted.
If properly cared for, essential oils can have a shelf life up to seven years.
Direct sunlight and exposure to air are most damaging to essential oils.
Keep your oils out of the sun and make sure the caps are tightly secured.
Try to keep your oils in a cool dry place.
They are sensitive to extreme temperature changes.
A trained aromatherapist can help you find the right essential oils
at the right concentrations for your particular needs.
