Facial massage is an easy, effective and relaxing ritual that promotes natural healthy, glowing skin and helps ease tension and bring you a mindful moment after a hectic day.
If you'd like to try it for yourself, then grab a natural facial oil, like your Pamoja Restore Radiance Booster and tune in. Get ready to feel radiant and relaxed!
Is facial massage good for skin?
Yes. Using a natural plant-based facial oil will feed your skin with healthy omega essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Taking it one step further by massaging your skin with this oil will really boost the effects of the oil and give you added value from your purchase. It's a particular treat for skin that's feeling dull, stressed or perhaps when you've been using a screen more often, and are feeling signs of stress and tension in your brow or neck area.
Reminder: facial massage isn't recommended for skin that's prone to acne or rosacea, or if you are receiving cancer treatment or in the first trimester of pregnancy.

DIY facial massage - alternative steps
First, prep your skin with a thorough cleanse.
Close your eyes. Try to focus your mind on the here and now.
Relax your jaw, cheek muscles and shoulders and start by gently stretching your neck from side to side, backwards and forwards a couple of times.
Warm 4-5 drops of oil into clean hands and breathe in the aroma.
Pat the oil onto the face and neck.
Remember the feeling of sweeping gentle movements when you have a facial? That's how you're going to move your hands, repeating each of these movements 6 times. Save the image to your phone 👇🏽
Your skin should now be feeling soft, smooth, relaxed and tingly, and you'll be feeling more relaxed.
Do let me know if you try the massage or have any tips to share.
