Look younger ... with a DIY facial massage

Tuesday 20 August 2013

I've been using Eve Lom cleanser now for almost 20 years.  I've tried other brands now and again, but never for long as my skin never looks as good as it does with Eve Lom's cleanser.  It's expensive but a pot lasts a VERY long time, so in the end it costs me the same as a cheaper brand per use, especially as I purchase it from Ebay to get an even better deal.

The really great thing about the Eve Lom cleanser is their 7 step facial massage while cleansing your skin.  I totally recommend it, try the steps below, even with your own cleanser at night time and wake up looking younger!

 
The EVE LOM facial
technique



You can achieve a beautiful, radiant complexion, simply by following our unique 7 step facial technique twice a week. Used as part of your nightly routine, the technique encourages improved blood circulation, muscle tone and lymphatic drainage, while helping eliminate toxins – so dull, blotchy, congested skin is transformed.

If your skin’s tired, sallow or you suffer from blocked pores or puffiness, follow steps 1 to 7 twice a week. If your complexion is clear, you only need to apply the cleanser and follow movement 7 of the routine every night.


 

step 1

Smooth EVE LOM Cleanser over the entire face and neck on top of makeup. Beginning behind the ears, apply deep pressure with the pads of your fingertips and circle down to the collarbone. Repeat 3 times. If tender or painful, this step should be repeated each 

night until tenderness disappears and a 
smooth flow is re-established.





step 2

Place the fingers in the centre of the forehead, from brow-bone to hairline. Press firmly, hold for a count of 5, and 

release. Move fingers slightly, press, hold
and release again. Repeat across the 
forehead finishing at the temples.



 step 3

Place 3 fingers under the eyes either side of the nose (leave the little finger out) and with the hands almost flat, apply pressure, hold for a count of 5 and release. Continue in small steps working down to the jaw-line.





step 4

Place fingers above the upper lip, press firmly, and hold for a count of 5 and release. Continue around to the corners of the mouth. Repeat 3 times.





step 5

Place fingers, spread like a fan, under the cheekbones and press, hold for a count of 5 and release. Continue in small steps working down to the jaw-line.




step 6

Place thumbs under the chin and fingers on top. Press, hold for a count of 5 and release. Continue along the jaw-line finishing under the ears.

 
 
step 7 

To complete the facial hold the muslin cloth soaked in hot water over the entire face, take a deep breath through the nose and hold the muslin in place for a count of 7 to 10 seconds. Repeat 3 times. Rinse out the cloth and remove all traces of makeup and Cleanser by using circular exfoliating movements. Rinse the cloth in cold water 
and apply to the face.
