Massage sessions start with cleansing the face using a gentle natural cleanser to eliminate any impurities or dirt. Later pat dry the skin with a cotton or soft cloth.

3. Application of Herbal Oil

The ayurvedic oil for the massage is carefully chosen that is suitable for the skin type. Almond oil, sesame oil and coconut oil are often utilized. Warm oil is applied on the neck and face by using gentle upward strokes. Oil is massaged in circular movements, allowing it to get into the skin. 

4. Face Massage

• Forehead Massage: placing the middle and index fingers on the center of forehead, our therapist massages by making circular movements toward your temples, moving them towards the back of your head. It is repeated 3-5 times.
• Eye Area Massage: With extreme care the delicate skin around the eyes is massaged with ring fingers. Massages start with the inside of the eye area and work to the side and then move upwards, focusing on the eyebrows. It is repeated 3-5 times.

• Lip and Mouth Massage: Lip and mouth area is massaged with index finger above and middle fingers below by pulling the fingers gently towards the ears.
• Chin and Jawline Massage: Start massaging the center of chin; using fingertips the chin area is rubbed in an upward direction toward your jawline by ending near ears.
• Lymphatic Drainage: Start the massage beginning at the earlobes, then moving downwards along the neck until it reaches the collarbone. This assists in detoxifying your skin.
• Marma Stimulation: Ayurvedic face massage is focused on stimulating certain energy points, or marma points within the skin. Using fingers for gentle pressure on these areas in tiny circular movements, helps open channels of energy and boost flow. This can aid in stimulating the skin’s layers as well as lymphatic circulation prior to performing facial strokes as well as other techniques.

The Marma Points:

• • The center of the chin
  • Corners of mouth
  • Between the nose and the upper lip
  • Outer corners of the nose
  • Center of cheekbones
  • Lower lids, right above the cheekbones- this skin is too delicate for massage, just press gently
  • The connected area between the nose and eyebrows, located on the lower portion of the eyebrow ridge.
  • Temples
  • Third eye (6th chakra)
  • The crown of your head

• Neck Massage: Face massage is concluded with a neck massage. The massage technique used here is vertical strokes, moving up from the collarbone until the jawline.
• Final Relaxation:  After the massage, you can close your eyes, take a deep breath and relax for a few moments letting the massage soak and absorb the benefits.

After you’ve completed the massage session, you can allow yourself to rest for a couple of minutes. You can cover the face using a soft towel or a face steamer to enhance your relaxation. After your massage, you can clean your face using a gentle face wash and use a hot, damp cloth to remove any oil that has accumulated.

Face Massage Techniques used in Ayurveda

1. Facial Strokes

It is a gentle stroking movement that spreads the oil evenly over the face. Make use of palms to create long, smooth strokes upwards beginning at the neck and then moving to the forehead. Repeat this movement several times, keeping the same steady and relaxing rhythm.

2. Kneading

The method involves kneading, then elevating the skin with gentle pressure. Utilize thumbs and fingers to gently squeeze and lift small portions of the skin around the forehead, cheeks and the chin. This increases circulation and relaxes facial muscles.

3. Tapping

Tapping involves using fingers to tap or drum the skin. It improves blood flow and energizes the skin. Make gentle tapping movements that are rhythmic and steady across the cheeks, forehead and the jawline. Avoid pressure that is too intense and take care of the delicate skin of the face.

4. Friction

Friction can be achieved using circular motions using fingers or knuckles. Use gentle pressure while creating small circular movements across the cheeks, forehead and the chin. This technique assists in breaking up tension and facilitates it to absorb the oils into your skin.

5. Pinching

The technique of pinching aids in stimulating circulation. Use index and thumb fingers to gently pinch small portions of skin around the jawline, forehead and cheeks. This can be especially beneficial to improve the appearance of wrinkled and dull looking skin.

6. Feathering

Feathering is the process of using the fingers’ tips to create soft, feathery strokes that sweep across the face. This method helps calm the skin and provide an enveloping sensation. Apply gentle pressure to the forehead, cheeks and chin with a gentle upward motion.

7. Eye massage

Concentrate on the eye area. Utilize ring fingers and gently rub the areas around your eyes using circular movements. This will reduce puffiness and increase circulation.

8. Jawline flexion

Utilize fingers to knead the jawline upwards motion. This will relax jaw muscles and enhance jawline’s appearance.
