Gentle Toning Facial Massage
1. Cleanse and tone the face throughly, ideally using a cold cream cleanser and skin toner of your choice.
2. Gently hold the head to establish contact. Then oil your fingertips and, with sweeping, stroking movements, lightly draw your fingers from the bottom of the face to the top, avoiding the eyes. Repeat several times, gently increasing the pressure.
3. Place your fingertips horizontally in the middle of the forehead, using a little more oil if required. Draw them firmly out to the temples several times. You should be able to feel the bones of the forehead through the facial skin and flesh.
4. Now place your fingertips on either side of the nose. Draw them up and out to the sides of the face several times, using a little less pressure than you used on the forehead.
5. Using both indeex fingers, make small circles all over the nose. Be careful not to block off air flow. Continue making small circles over the chin and around the mouth area, avoiding the lips.
6. Finsih as you started, with gentle sweeping strokes up the face, getting gradually lighter until the contact disappears. Encourage your friend to lie there and relax for a few minutes after the massage is finished.
