4 amazing self-massage rituals to do at home
Boost the effectiveness of your treatments with the right gestures! We've compiled 4 targeted self-massage rituals that are easy to memorize and perform.
Why does self-massage really work?
Because our face alone has 43 muscles, which contract and relax according to our emotions. Touch not only works and relaxes the muscles, but also stimulates the entire blood and lymphatic network... In short, it activates everything: including the production of collagen and elastin, essential for plump skin. The only condition for seeing a real difference? As with sport, the body needs time and repetition to activate. So it's regularity that pays off, ideally every day or every other day.
Redrawing the oval
- With hands clasped, as if greeting the sun, gently effleurage the neck, moving slightly upwards.
- And off we go for the crab! With your thumbs on the border between chin and jaw, lightly pinch the skin with your curved index fingers, as if you were trying to reach your thumbs.
- Start at the center and work your way up to the base of the ears. Repeat 10 times.
Use with: our Plumping Oil Oh My Cream Skincare
Sculpting the cheekbones
- Start by locating the bottom of your cheekbone: simply touch the hollow of the bone.
- Then, using the two middle fingers, perform rapid, upward effleurage strokes (neither too gentle nor too forceful), starting at the birth of the cheekbone and moving outwards.
- Repeat the movement at least 5 times for each cheekbone.

Open your eyes
- Using the two middle fingers, start at the hollow of the ring and work outwards. Repeat 3 times.
- The eyebrows are then pinched between the thumbs and forefingers, from the head to the tail. This movement is performed 3 times.
- To smooth crow's feet, gently stretch the area between the index and middle fingers, then use the other hand to gently tap and smooth. Repeat with the other eye.
Use with Eye Contour Balm Oh My Cream Skincare
Smoothing out frown lines
- We frown to spot the lion's wrinkle.
- You place your index fingers one under the other, then make zigzag movements by passing one index finger over the other.
- This movement is performed for a full minute.
To be used with Hyaluron Serum Susanne Kaufmann
