The main thing when Self-Massaging the face


  • Important to self-massaging only a clean face.

  • Cleanse your face of creams, makeup and sweat.

  • Use a shower or hot towel to steam face.

  • Minimize or eliminate aggressive skin-drying detergents.


Setting the Stage for Self-Massage


  • The optimal body position for self-massage is HORIZONTAL. The neck is open, the chin is higher than the forehead.

  • You can use a bed, a sofa or even the floor. Place a soft roller made of a rolled-up towel or a pillow along the back in the shoulder blade area to slightly raise the back in the chest area and ensure that the chin is raised higher than the forehead and the neck area is opened for the convenience of massage in this area.


Harmonizing with Lymph Flow


  • All massage movements should be performed in harmony with the direction of lymph flows.

  • Before starting a self-massage of the face, it is important to stimulate the main lymph nodes responsible for the outflow of lymph on the face, neck and head with gentle pressing movements. Start from below in the hypochondrium area and move up to the head.

  • Perform massage movements in the direction of lymph flow.

  • Remember that during self-massage of the face, it is very important not to stretch the skin, but to squeeze it. Use light squeezing instead of jerking and soft pressing movements to encourage lymph outflow from face.


Gentle Techniques for Effective Results


  • Emphasis on not stretching the skin during self-massage.

  • Utilizing gentle pressure rather than tugging.

  • Achieving skin benefits without causing unnecessary strain.
