How To Give Yourself An Energizing Facial Massage

Give Yourself an Energizing Facial Massage. A facial massage is a great

(Transcript of this video

Step 1: Make yourself comfortable
You can do this
massage in any setting, but it is more effective when the mind is calm
and the body is relaxed. Find a quiet place if possible, either lying
down or seated. Take a few deep breathes and if you wear glasses,
remove them before starting.

Step 2: Head tapping
Firstly, start by gently tapping
the head by drumming your fingertips all around the top of the scalp.
This stimulates blood flow and brain cell activity. Carry on doing this
for about 1 minute.

Step 3: Forward swipes
Next flatten both hands with your
palms facing you and hold them at forehead level. Turn your head from
left to right, alternate swiping the forehead with the fingers of the
left and right hand. It should be your head that is moving and not your
hands. Repeat this about 10 times to each side.

Step 4: Circle the eyes
With the hands still at eye level, now make loose fists while placing the thumbs on the cheekbones.
Starting at the bridge of the nose, firmly draw the knuckles of the
index fingers in an arc across the eyebrows and down the outside of the
eye.
Then once again starting from the bridge of the nose, this time draw
the knuckles in an arc beneath the eyes on the crest of the cheekbones.
Repeat this cycle approximately 10 times.

Step 5: Palming the cheeks
Once again open the hands and place the palms over the cheekbones.
Firmly draw the palms down towards the mouth, then continue along the bottom edge of the jawbone.
Follow the line of the jaw upwards, to just in front of the ears, then in along the cheekbones completing a cycle.
Repeat this cycle 10 times.

Step 6: Mouth swipes
Now turn the hands with fingertips
pointing towards each other and the palms towards you as in the
forehead swipes, but this time at mouth level.
Again, move the head side to side, swiping the mouth and lips with your
fingertips. Remember it is the head that turns while the hands remain
still. Repeat 10 times to each side

Step 7: Throat pull
Lowering the hands to neck level, we will now extend the thumbs and curve the fingers slightly.
Using very light pressure place one hand on the throat, and pull
directly forward while closing the thumb and forefinger so that you tug
gently at the skin as your hand slides off. This should not be painful
or uncomfortable.
As the first hand slides off, the other hand is rising to repeat the
process. With practice, you can achieve a steady rhythm.
Repeat with both hands 10 times.

Step 8: Ear massage
To begin, we are going to make
"Spock" hands, that is, with your little finger and ring finger
together and middle and index finger together.
Place the hands on the side of the head with the ears between the fingers and massage up and down.
Repeat this 10 times.
Now we will massage the ears. Starting at the tops, rub the ear firmly
between thumb and the first two fingers. Continue down to the lobe
covering the entire ear.
To finish give the earlobe a firm tug, then the middle of the ear, and finally the top.
Repeat this 3 times.
And that's how to give yourself an energizing facial massage the VideoJug way!
