#1 Kneading
Kneading is a process of gently pressing the skin and stimulating the muscles and tissues beneath. It is a great technique, which improves your blood flow circulation and makes the muscles plump, ultimately getting you rid of the wrinkles. Moreover, we can also not ignore the therapeutic benefits. The increased blood flow will result in increased retaining of the products, which means you will get that extra glow.
#2 Jade Rolling
Jade rolling is a massaging technique that emerged from China dating back to as early as the 7th century. Imagine being told that you can get rid of major signs of aging with one simple tool? Surely, you will not believe it but this is possible if you add a jade roller in your skincare regimen. It has proven to tighten the skin up, facilitate cell turnover, and reduce puffiness.
#3 Chinning Up
Another technique while massaging the facial skin is to try upward massage of the chin. Place both your hands on the side of the face. Now starting from the chin, massage upwards with fingers pressed against the skin with slight pressure and release pressure once you reach the forehead. Now repeat these steps three to five times to achieve a chiseled jawline and tighter skin.
#4 Improving Eye Strains
This is a facial massage technique is to reduce eye strain. With the help of the index and middle finger of both hands and respectively place them against the side of your eyes and apply firm pressure. Gently massage your way through the brows towards the nose and then circling the orbit of eyes till you reach under the eye socket. Keep circling the eyes in this way while applying slight firm pressure.
#5 Focusing On Forehead Wrinkles
To get a firm and wrinkle-free skin on the forehead, place your fingertips in the center of the forehead while massaging and gently stroke them towards your temples. The strokes must be firm sideways and in an upward motion for a relaxing effect. It will not help you get rid of all the crease lines on your forehead but also help ease any feeling of discomfort in your head.
