If you are looking for facial massage techniques you might be wondering which one is the best one. In this article I’m going to share with you the top 5 facial massage techniques.
Does your skin look puffy, or loose, or are you just generally in need of some love for your face? A facial massage could be just what you need to rejuvenate, strengthen, firm up your skin, or to make yourself look younger.
On top of the visible benefits, facial massages, just like any other massage, can serve to reduce stress, relax, or simply bring about the feelings of enjoyment from indulging yourself.
How to Do Self Facial Massage at Home
Here are the Top 5 ways for you to spoil (as in pamper, not ruin) your face.
1. Shiatsu Facial Massage Technique
One of my favorite facial massage techniques. "Shiatsu", the Japanese word for "finger pressure", is purported by its practitioners to combat a number of negative elements: including muscle pain, stress, anxiety, nausea, and even depression.
What's more, is that Shiatsu is not limited to the face alone, but massages the whole body. So, if you feel the need to give your face a little professional attention, why not kill two birds with one finger (or more) and get the rest of the body done as well?
Fun fact: Shiatsu is also performed on horses.
Here is a video tutorial on how to do self Shiatsu facial massage:
In addition to professional options, there are also several do-it-yourself options that you can try at home:
2. Massage Techniques For The Forehead
To increase blood flow as well as help you relax, try tapping your scalp and forehead (more than one finger is OK - pretend you are tapping out a beat if you like!).
You can also try putting both hands over your forehead, then smoothly run them up to your hairline with a strong (not too hard though), lifting motion. Remember to clasp your fingers together with the index finger on top of the others.

3. Self Massage Techniques For The Mouth
Once again, tapping applies; you can tap around your mouth and cheeks to increase blood flow. You can also do smiling exercises: five or six times, smile widely to stretch and firm those smiling muscles.
Another trick: look up at the ceiling and open and close your mouth a few times - this relaxes your jawline and tightens your neck.

4. Facial Masks
There are a number of different types of homemade facial mask treatments available. For example, there are setting masks, which include clay masks, thermal masks, fruit masks, and peel-off masks, and there are non-setting masks, which include warm oil masks and masks made of paraffin wax.
Each different type of mask has different benefits, and are ideal for different types of skin. Make sure to know your skin type before applying a facial mask at home.
You might consult a professional to determine what type of skin you have, and which type of facial mask is best for your face.
5. Other Facial Massage Techniques:
Using your thumb and two fingers, massage the entire ear, beginning from the top, and working your way slowly down to the lobe. After doing this a few times, you can give the lobe a little tug if you like. Incorporating some oil for this one is nice.
One last trick: you can pinch gently the area around your throat and collarbone (but make sure you go easy on yourself).
FAQ
Is Daily Face Massage Good For Skin?
Skin care experts advice on a facial massage at home every other day, which increases your skin elasticity. If you massage your face every night before going to sleep for 5 minutes, you will give your skin natural radiance in a span of just 6 weeks.
Why is facial massage important?

Does massaging your face do anything?
Massaging the face is an easy way to stimulate the flow of oxygen and blood in your skin. This gives the effect of reducing puffy eyes and face, creating a brighter tone of skin, and prevents wrinkles. It’s like a natural face-lift.
Does face massage reduce face fat?
Facial massage is a treatment that helps eliminate excess fat in the face. It also enhances blood circulation and oxygen flow to your skin, which makes your skin tighter. It has earned a reputation as one of the easiest and most effective ways to tighten your skin. It’s perfect for those who have noticed sagging skin or simply want to smooth their complexion.
Does facial massage actually work?
Yes, a facial massage is an effective way to restore the face’s youthful appearance and leave your skin looking radiant and fresh. It's also loved by celebrities and beauty experts worldwide.
Have fun, use some oils or moisturizing creams, and go to town! In general, though, you don't want to massage your face for more than twenty minutes at a time; this can overdo the stretching and strengthening of the face muscles, which could get in the way of the benefits you are driving at. It also isn't a bad idea to take it easy on yourself at first until you get more used to it.
