I didn’t fully grasp the importance of facial massage until I had the privilege of receiving a facial earlier this year with celebrity aesthetician Joomee Song. Song is the facialist behind the industry’s most glowing celebrities—from Zendaya to Lady Gaga and Olivia Wilde. Aside from giving me an instant de-puffed glow, she also released so much tension I had in my brow and jaw area that I couldn’t believe I had. She told me how important it is to do some kind of facial massage at home for at least three to five minutes every day to promote lymphatic drainage and release toxins. Naturally, being the beauty-obsessed editor that I am, I took her advice. Once I committed to the practice, I began to notice how stiff certain muscles in my face were and how breakouts would appear in areas that felt tighter and more tense than usual.
When it comes to facial massage, I never loved using a gua sha tool because frankly, I could never get the hang of it. Fortunately, Song says it’s best to use your hands anyway. I struggled to find a product I could use that provides a good amount of slip for me to do a facial massage without making my skin feel heavy or greasy. Luckily, Dermalogica recently launched the perfect solution, the Neurotouch Symmetry Serum, a luxurious serum that’s formulated to be the perfect facial massage companion (in addition to lifting and contouring sagging skin).
