What Can a Facial Massage Do?

Whether you are using your hands, a gua sha, jade roller, or any other tool, there is a mechanical stimulation that helps in the following:

Lymphatic Drainage

Theoretically speaking, as you stroke or push your fluids in the direction of your lymphatic flow, you’re helping the natural drainage of your fluids.

These fluids are not exactly bad. But by encouraging proper drainage or lessening the accumulation of fluids in your face, you can reduce temporary puffiness. 

And by doing so, you can flush out toxins and waste that can contribute to breakouts, wrinkles, and crepey skin.

Blood Flow

By massaging, you are promoting better blood circulation and thereby enhancing the flow of oxygen in your face. And with a good oxygen supply to your cells, you can promote collagen production and cell growth. This is why some celebrities say that their skin “glows” right after a facial massage. 

Product Absorption

Massage your serum, gel, or cream with your fingertips, palms, or a device for 1 to 2 minutes until the product is absorbed into your skin. This way, you can make sure that your skincare is not just sitting on top of your skin but is actually delivered properly. 

Does it really work?

There are different views on this. But so far, most agree that facial massage can help boost the skin’s overall health. What it cannot guarantee though is a permanent tightening or contouring effect.
