1. Choose an oil
Choose an oil that's suitable for your skin type.
2. The chin
The cheeks
The nose
Rub the oil in, using only a few drops. Warm it up between your fingertips and spread it all over your face in stroking movements.
3. Let your jaw drop, and smile the biggest smile you can - holding it for as long as possible.
4.The cheeks The forehead
Massage upwards. Use sweeping movements, lifting up the skin. Be gentle but firm.
5. Pinching relieves tension
Pinch in between your eyebrows. This relieves tension that often builds up there.
6. Pull apart any frown lines above the nose, by using both of your index fingers on the inside edge of your eyebrows, pulling apart towards your eyebrows.
7. Push the tip of your nose up with your index finger. Hold it firmly in place. Now pull your upper lip down over your teeth and hold for a second before releasing.
8. Make small circular movements from the top of the bridge of the nose down towards the nostrils using the middle fingers of both hands. You may actually feel the lymph draining under your fingertips.
9. Apply pressure underneath your eyes
Apply pressure underneath your eyes, using your ring finger and starting from the inside working outwards. Take a big breath in at the start and breathe out each time you apply pressure.
10.Wake up tired eyes. Without moving your head, look up, down, left and right a few times.
11. Use suction movements to invigorate your jawline
Invigorate the jawline. Use your thumb and the side of your index finger to create a suction movement, working from the inside of the face to the outside. This will make your skin glow, and you can use the same technique on the neck if you like.
12. Stretch your mouth muscles. With your mouth open slightly, bring the corner of the left side of your mouth out as far as possible. Now do it with the right side of your mouth. Repeat this 5 times.
13. Place the full length of both thumbs under your chin to provide gentle resistance, then push your chin down. Continue this around the jaw line to just under your ears.
14. The jaw
The cheeks
Pinch your jaw and cheeks. Use lots of quick little plucks and pinches to get the blood and nutrients pumping into those parts of the face.
15. Finish off with some more deep stroking movements, like in step 2. This helps settle everything in the skin.
