How to use facial massager?
- How to use a massager varies depending on its type, so it is best to first study the instructions in detail and become familiar with the operating principles of all the accessories provided in the kit. Often, different attachments are used for different areas of the face, which is worth noting;
- Facial skin is very delicate, so it is not recommended to massage continuously for more than 15 minutes. It is best to limit the first massage to 5 minutes;
- Only move the massager along the massage lines, and do not press the device too hard against the skin to avoid damaging the skin;
- For maximum effect, it is best to use the massager a few hours before bed, which can speed up the recovery of the epidermis during the night;
- When performing acupressure, you apply a series of intense pressures to active points using a combination of the action of the massager and the action of your fingers. It is best to use your fingers to knead the acupuncture points, leaving the mechanical device for general facial massage;
- You need to move the massager slowly, not too hard, just glide across the surface of the skin. It’s best not to stay in one place for more than a few seconds;
- If the massager has a built-in function to clean skin pores, you must steam your face with hot water or steam before use;
- As the subcutaneous fat layer increases, massage movements should be more intense but not painful;
- You should not make facial massage a daily routine; ideally, repeat it no more than 3-4 times per week. In this case, it is necessary to check the availability of the massager every time and make sure that it does not overheat.
Choose the right massage direction
- The T-zone (nose, forehead, and chin) always produces more oil than the rest of the face, so it requires a different massage style. Often, in order to massage it, a special nozzle is added to the electrical device;
- First, the massager is moved from the chin to the ears, and then from the lower lip back to the ears;
- The next movement is from temple to nose, then to the other temple and back;
- Then move the massager from lips to ears, from forehead to different temples;
- Massage the sensitive area on the eyelids and under the eyes using gentle circular motions, working from the inner corners of the eyes to the temples and working in opposite directions. This can eliminate swelling under the eyes and make the skin more elastic and firm;
- Use the massager to treat the nose after kneading the remaining massage area;
- In order for the massager to have a noticeable tightening effect, it is best to move it from the bottom to the top of the face.
