Facial massage is one of the best ways to prevent wrinkles, boost lymphatic drainage and plump the skin. It only adds a couple of minutes to your morning ritual and you can teach yourself to do it at-home.

Make sure your skin is clean by removing all make-up with violet creamy cleanser. You want a clean base for your massage and to remove any build up of dead skin or toxins, if necessary add a small amount of gentle exfoliant to your cleanser as needed to polish up skin and exfoliate built up that have accumulated. 

Finally gently spray with rose toner and proceed with face oil. Violet Radiant Rose Face Oil is ultra-hydrating and will instantly plump the complexion, evens out skin tone, and smooth out fine lines.

It is one of the is most luxurious oils you will ever use. The scent is divine, and it leaves skin hydrated and silky without the oily feel.

Start at the top of the face

Using the padded tips of your fingers begin your massage at the top of your face. Use long sweeping motions to relax and elongate the muscles and stimulate the lymphatic system.

Be gentle around the eyes

You always want to sweep hands from the centre of the face out and upwards to encourage the lifting of the muscles and to work against the force of gravity. Around the eyes the skin is 40% thinner and far more delicate so reduce your pressure in this area. Start your eye massage on either side of the nose and run fingers upwards towards the temples. This helps to keep skin looking fresh and reduces puffiness in the eye area.

Target the jaw line

Next focus on the jaw and the lower half of the face. You always want to start at the centre of the chin, drawing hands upwards towards the ears. Make a peace sign with both hands and bend fingers in half to create bunny ears. Use the pressure between your bent fingers to cradle the jaw and stimulate lax muscles to prevent drooping.

Apply temple pressure

Relieve pressure in the temples and forehead by circling your fingers over your temples three times and press pat the rest of your oil into the skin for maximum hydration.
