Face massage is a technique performed using hands or massage tools like a jade roller to improve your skin tone and make you confident. Face massage can have positive and negative effects on your face depending on the technique used, the individual skin type and its sensitivity.

Benefits of Face Massage Include

Improved Blood Circulation 

Massage can help promote blood circulation by which your body receives adequate oxygen, making you look young.

Relaxation

Gentle massage can promote relaxation and reduce stress, which, in turn, helps reduce the fine lines and wrinkles.

Lymphatic Drainage

Face massage helps reduce lymphatic drainage, which further helps reduce puffiness and swelling in the face.

Some Potential Side Effects of Face Massage Include 

Skin irritation

Aggressive or rough massage can cause irritation to the skin, especially if you have a sensitive one.

Breakouts

If not done properly, face massage can spread bacteria and oil on the skin, leading to a breakout.

Damaging the Skin Barriers

Overuse of facial massage can damage the skin barrier, make it more vulnerable to environmental dirt and cause dryness or inflammation.

Therefore, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the facial massage for your skin type.
