In the skincare world, DIY facial massages have become the ultimate self-care ritual, offering relaxation and a healthy glow. Facial massage isn’t just a spa luxury anymore, it’s an accessible and effective way to rejuvenate your skin, improve circulation, and enhance the absorption of skincare products. With a few simple techniques and some amazing products, such as Bentica's botanical blends, you can turn a plain skincare routine into a luxury, skin-loving experience that brings salon-like results to the comfort of your home.
Why Facial Massage?
Facial massages are more than just a pleasing experience, they convey great benefits for your skin. Regular massages stimulate blood flow, enhancing the amount of oxygenation going into the skin to give it a natural, healthy glow. They also aid in lymphatic drainage to prevent puffiness. The act of lightly massaging your skin promotes relaxation in tensed facial muscles, which may diminish fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Pairing facial massages with nourishing products is key to unlocking these benefits. Bentica’s Weekly Care Kit, formulated with natural ingredients like jojoba beads and chamomile, are perfect for exfoliating adding hydration and delivering essential nutrients while you pamper your skin.
Benefits of DIY Facial Massage with Bentica’s Botanical Blends
1. Enhanced Product Absorption
Skincare products are most effective when deeply dug into your skin. Massaging your face leaves room for botanical blends to seep into your skin and maximize their hydrating and soothing effects.
2. Increased Blood Circulation
Massaging your skin increases blood flow, giving you a natural glow and at the same time supporting your skin's overall health by bringing nutrients and oxygen to the skin.
3. Lessened Puffiness and Toxins
Lymphatic drainage in facial massage helps reduce puffiness in the skin, particularly around the eyes. For instance, you can use Bentica's HydraMist Moisturizer to massage and hydrate your skin to restore moisture and balance smooth skin.
4. Loose Facial Muscle
Stress and tension cause the muscles in your face to contract and wrinkle up, causing those premature wrinkles. A few minutes of massage loosen these muscles and leave you looking smoother.
5. Ruddy Complexion
Circulation has improved, your products have absorbed, and you're relaxed, and the skin is now visibly healthier and more radiant.
How to do DIY Facial Massage
Step 1: Clean Face
Clean skin precedes the steps in this recipe. Use a mild cleanser that removes oil, dirt, and makeup from the face. With this, it rejuvenates your skin and mind, leaving you feeling refreshed and confident.
Step 2: Pick Your Massager Product
Choose a product that suits your skin type. Aloevera based gel is one versatile product that hydrates without clogging pores, making it ideal for all skin types.
Step 3: Warm the Product
Take a small amount of product and warm it between your fingertips. This helps in smooth application and ensures even coverage across your face.
Step 4: Begin the Massage
- Forehead: Draw circles using your fingertips from your eyebrows up to your hairline.
- Cheeks: Gently sweep your fingers out from the middle of your face along your cheekbones.
- Jawline: Massage your jawline with your thumbs, using slight pressure to loosen the muscles in this area.
- Under Eyes: Lightly tap under your eyes with your ring fingers to reduce puffiness.
Step 5: Use Pressure Points
Use pressure on specific areas like the temples and center of your forehead. Use hydrating face serums like Bentica's 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum will take it a step further in enhancing the experience since they have properties that are relaxing.
Step 6: Lock It In
End the massage by patting small amounts of the product on the skin to ensure that the hydration stays in for longer.
How Often To Massage Your Face?
Facial massage can be carried out 2-3 times a week based on the condition of your skin. To best benefit from massage, you will want to also use Bentica's botanical infusions that will hydrate, calm, and revitalize the skin. Their regular use leaves your skin more nourished and healthy in response to your massages.
