We’ve been fans of facial massage forever.  Not only is it amazingly de-stressing (we like to spend five or ten minutes before bed, sometimes in front of TV, sometimes propped up on our pillows in bed), but we know that moving facial skin tissue up and around keeps it supple and makes it look the teensiest bit ‘lifted’.   

Annee’s simple guidelines are below – and we think you’ll agree there’s no easier way to look glow-y and radiant…   

•  Smooth your favourite facial oil over entire face and neck.  

•  Cup hands over nose and mouth, breath in and out deeply as above. 

•  Tug your earlobes with thumb and index finger.  Then with fingertips, use firm, circular movements to massage from behind ears to base of neck.  

•  From the point of your chin, work up and outwards along the jaw to your ear;  then from corners of mouth over the cheeks to ear;  then from base of nose to top of ear.  Repeat the whole sequence three times.  
   
•  Sweep your fingertips firmly over your eyebrows, then under, then gently pinch along them. Repeat twice.  
   
•  Pressing firmly with your middle fingers, circle the eyes beginning above the inner corners and working outwards.  Repeat three times.  
   
•  From the centre of your forehead, just above the nose, zigzag middle fingers in small, firm motions out to the temples; repeat working up the forehead.  
   
•  With the side of your index finger (held vertically), smooth skin from centre of face outwards, beginning with your forehead, then sides of nose, middle of mouth and centre of chin.  
   
•  Finish by breathing deeply, hands cupped over mouth and nose. 

Et voilà…
