Cleansing can feel like a chore. But what if you could turn those 60 seconds into a mini spa moment that boosts circulation, lifts your face, and gives you that “I drink water” glow?
Welcome to the 1-Minute Face Massage.
No oils, no fancy tools just your cleanser and your hands.
👇 Here’s how to do it (even when your ADHD brain is like “let’s skip it”).
🔍Why Face Massage?
Face massage while cleansing is more than just feeling fancy. It’s science-backed skin magic:
- Deep Penetration: Allows your cleanser to get deeper into your skin and remove dirt better.
- Firms Skin: Tones facial muscles over time (hello, cheekbones).
- Boosts Circulation: Increases blood flow = healthier glow.
- Depuffs: Stimulates your lymphatic system to drain toxins.
- Gentle Exfoliation: Helps shed dead skin (without scrubs).
🙌 1-Minute Massage Routine
You’re already washing your face. Just add this:
- Start at Your Neck:
🌀 Upward strokes → base of neck to jawline.
(Encourages drainage & circulation.) - Jawline Lift:
🌀 Small circles from chin → along jaw → up to ears.
(Releases tension, gives “snatched” effect.) - Cheeks Up:
🌀 Sweep fingers from nose → up to temples.
(Depuffs + lifts.) - Forehead Glide:
🌀 Up from brows → sweep outward to temples.
(Smooths + relaxes.)
✨ Done in 60 seconds. Skin happy. Brain proud.
🚀 TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read):
🔹 Face massage = glow, depuff, lift.
🔹 Already washing your face? Add these steps:
- Neck → Jaw → Cheeks → Forehead (all upwards).
