Benefits of the Self-Love Face Massage

The benefits of the Self-Love Face massage technique are endless. You get a natural skin lift, toned facial muscles, better blood flow, healthier blood vessels and clearer glowing skin.

Around thirty muscles are linked together beneath the skin of the face and head.

Muscle stress caused by expansions and contractions of everyday actions like eating, smiling, or frowning can zap your energy and lead to an accumulation of toxins.

This massage technique revitalises the muscles and stimulates lymphatics to drain away all toxins. The Detox Face Mask deeply purifies and detoxifies skin to balance oiliness and prevent breakoutsSel
