How To Do A Detox & Face Lifting Massage at Home

We all enjoy some skin love, and we just could not think of a better way to love our skin than with this detoxifying and lifting facial massage. Facial massages increase blood flow, aiding the lymphatic system to flush out waste and toxins to keep your skin fresh and clean, both inside and out. Facial massages also boost blood circulation, delivering more oxygen to the cells, which helps increase collagen production.

One of our favorite things about this detox and face lifting massage is that it incorporates your skincare regimen, so it’ll really take your results to the next level.

Detox & Face Lifting Massage Instructions

Prep clean skin with the Rubica Hydrating Toner by spritzing liberally to face, neck and décolleté.
Mix a quarter size of the Blue Butterfly Balm and Organic Omega Oil in your hands to warm, then apply to the entire face, neck and décolleté in tapping/pressing motions.
Begin with upward motions moving your hands up your neck and back towards your ears and lymph nodes in firm strokes.
Move your hands up to the jawline and continue with big lifting circles on the jawline and cheeks.
Add small circular or zig-zag motions around the mouth to smooth lines.
Lift the entire face by moving hands all the way up your face, and then back down the sides of your neck to drain toxins, finishing at the clavicle.

Added Methods For Specific Areas

Parentheses (nasolabial lines) - push up and hold or pinch upwards, then continue stroking back towards your ears and down to drain.
Cheeks - one hand at a time go up toward the temples.
Midline (middle of face) - push up to eyebrows and round the forehead. You can be firm, be intuitive and see what feels good.
Eyes - start with pushing the brow upwards in circular motions to lift the eyes, and continue motion towards the inner eye, draining at inner corner lymph nodes.
Crows feet and eleven lines - massage side to side, and out, like a zigzag to erase tension and frown lines.
