Ever felt like your face is on puff-mode when you wake up in the morning?
You're not alone!
But don't worry, I've got a not-so-secret weapon to share: "LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE”!
It's a facial massage technique with a history of turning PUFFY to PRETTY and has even been hailed as a NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT.
IT IS A GAME CHANGER!
A Bit of Backstory:
Here's the deal with lymphatic drainage:
It started out as a way to help people dealing with Lymphedema (that's when your body swells because of lymph node issues).
It did such a stellar job at reducing puffiness and swelling that it became a darling of the beauty world too.
In facial care, gentle pressure and specific movements help to shift excess fluid and freshen up your skin.
Hello, rejuvenation!
Why You'll Love it:
The puffy face struggle is real, right?
Your lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump like your circulatory system does, so sometimes it needs a helping hand.
That's where lymphatic massage steps in.
Massaging your face and neck boosts circulation and gives your lymphatic system a turbo boost, letting it deliver all the good stuff (like oxygen and glucose) to your cells quicker.
Bonus?
It takes away the waste and toxins, supporting your overall health.
DIY Lymphatic Massage
You can give your lymphatic system a helping hand right at home with a micro-current device or a rose quartz roller.
The micro-current device zaps ions into your skin, giving your lymphatic system a wake-up call.
Or, you could get on board with the ancient Egyptians' skincare routine and use a rose quartz roller, known for its lymphatic boosting powers.
This mini-massage targets your lymph nodes, helping to drain toxins and deliver nutrients.
What’s the Result?:
With lymphatic drainage, you'll notice less puffiness, a more defined jawline, and toned facial muscles. Oh, and that glow? That's the look of healthy, radiant skin that's properly nourished.
How to Fit it in Your Routine:
You can easily incorporate this into your daily skin care routine. Here’s how:
-
Cleanse: Begin by massaging your face with an oil cleanser to remove dirt and makeup, then wipe it off with a damp cloth or cotton pad.
-
Warm Up: Use your fingertips to gently glide along the sides of your neck, moving downward from under your chin. Do this about 10 times to relax and prep your skin.
-
Microcurrent or Roller: Grab your tool of choice and start at your jawline, moving outward towards your ears. Be gentle! This step is all about toning those facial muscles and getting your circulation going.
-
Targeted Treatment: Now, focus on specific areas like your forehead, cheeks, and around your eyes. Use outward movements and take a few moments to really enjoy this part.
-
Moisturize: Last step, moisturize! Massage a light moisturizer into your skin using upward movements for deep hydration.
There you have it, folks - a mini at-home spa session in just 15 minutes! If you're ready to say goodbye to puffiness and hello to radiant skin, then lymphatic drainage could be your skin's new best friend.
