"Me-Time" Facial Massage

A simple facial massage performed on yourself can help combat a dull complexion and relieve stress and strain, leaving both you and your skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

Ingredients:
Facial massage oil (like apricot kernel oil)
Lavender essential oil

Directions: Mix together the facial oil and lavender and warm a few drops between your hands, cupping them over your nose and take 3 deep breaths. To massage:
1. Sweep your right hand downwards from the top of your neck outward across your decollete to your shoulder.
2. Sweep hands from the middle of your forehead up towards the hairline and outwards towards the temples. Finish with a sweep under the eyes (along the bone).
3. With alternate hands stroke upwards along the middle of the eyebrows upwards along the forehead.
4. Gently pinch the chin and jaw line with your thumbs under the chin and fingers on top of the jaw line.
