Facial massage not only helps to tone the facial muscles but also helps in reducing the signs of aging.

Regular facial massage can also help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and pigmentation. It improves blood circulation to increase the production of collagen which helps in forming the skin structure. Facial massage helps in improving the elasticity of the skin making you look younger.
Tip – You can also use essential oil for this. Don’t use it directly on the skin.
