Recently my daughter asked if she could give me a facial.

Immediate thoughts. Hell Yeah! Why not??

I gave her a toner and some cotton pads to cleanse my face. She then put a warm flannel over my face and continued by massaging 2 different oils into my skin.

The 2 oils I have been using on my skin recently which have really helped my skin. I have had some dry patches under my nose and using the Arbonne Skin conditioning oil has truly worked on my flaky bits, and I have been using Jamaican Dark Castor Oil which contains Omega 9 and 3 fatty acids that I definitely feel help to plump my skin.

I showed Mya which direction to lightly move her hands, in an upward and outwards motion. There was a lot of pressing and pushing and sweeping of (clean) hands on my face and I have to admit, it felt INCREDIBLE! Maybe show your friends or partner and you can do to each other.

Here is a little diagram below from Huda Beauty (Great cruelty free makeup) if you want something to follow. Just lightly sweep in the directions of the arrows on each side of the face, be careful not to drag your skin too much hence why using oils is perfect. Then press gently on the lymph drainage points or even anywhere around the face as that will also help with tension. You might not always hit the right spots but you’ll be close and at least get some that’s for sure.

Since then I have been putting a bit more effort into massaging my face with my oils. Read my other blog on skin oils. It really helps to reduce puffiness in the face and the stimulation of blood flow around the face, moving toxins away through lymphatic drainage can help to get a more refined, smoother skin clarity.

So, just give it a go!

Much love,
