I would love to learn more about facial massage, so I made this topic. Mostly, I'd like to perform them myself, although visiting a salon would be wonderful. I've seen various versions: with cleanser, cream or massaging oil. In Japan, we have various products to perform massage, like Astablanc has a whitening massage cream that's before toner and then rinsed of. Some instructions use gua sha (a Chinese jade piece, massage tool, sold also made of metal or plastic nowadays) or plain hands.
What I don't know about massage, usually it's instructed to not touch or pull your skin, but what's different with a massage and "pulling" for the skin, if you know what I mean? Some movements, like from chin up involve pulling in some way, unintentionally? What kind of movements are good? In some Korean beauty shows, it's emphasised to not move in two ways, only from center of the face inwards-> outwards. And, only up - not down, as you don't want a saggy, downwards going skin. Making sense here to you?
Any tips, advices, video tricks etc welcome! I'm eagerly waiting for Lisa Elridge's promised video on massage, as she is gorgeous.
I'm seriously looking into this gadget but first I have to figure out how it works. You just use it to moisturise? Can you skip the cleansing part? And the reviews talked about the cotton pad, will any cotton pad do or are there ones specially made for it? I have the Clarisonic Pro that I've had for many years and the Clariosonic Opal that I rarely use. I need to see if this is something I'll keep up with. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm using the hadacrie to moisturize my eyes contour but I've seen smaller machines to dot it like the "hermippe" or "smart finger"
