Facial massage + gold mask in 5 steps

1. Cleansing

Start by thoroughly cleansing your face using a makeup remover. Then, double-cleanse your face: the first time with an oil-based cleanser, and the second time with a foam or cream cleanser, depending on your skin type. This helps reduce clogged pores and prevent acne.

2. Exfoliation

Use a fine-grained scrub to gently exfoliate your face to remove dead skin cells, leaving pores clean and allowing skincare products to penetrate the skin better.

3. Masking

Choose a mask based on your skin type, such as a hydrating mask for dry skin or a clay mask for oily and acne-prone skin. Look for masks containing hyaluronic acid, tea tree oil, and vitamin C to nourish and balance the skin.

4. Serum & Massage

Apply skincare products in order from light to heavy texture, e.g., serum → moisturizer → cream. Allow each product to absorb before applying the next. Then, massage your face to stimulate blood circulation and firm the skin. You can use your fingers or a gua sha stone to gently massage from the forehead, temples, cheekbones, chin, and neck.

5. Relaxation and Lifting (Relax & Lift)

Gently massage key points on the face, such as the hair-flipping motion, the powder-applying motion, the lip-wiping motion, the chin-wiping motion, and the pressure under the chin, to help reduce facial muscle tension, stimulate blood circulation, and reduce wrinkles. Repeat each motion about 10 times.
