Facial Reflexology

{!firstname_fix}

While not done quite as often as foot or palm reflexology, the face can also be used for 
this massaging practice. Just like the foot and palm of your hand, your face has 
pressure points that are good for improving the rest of your body.

We want to show you a few tips for doing reflexology on the face:

Find a Quiet and Relaxing Spot

The first tip that can help you with facial reflexology and other forms (as you will see in 
the last email of this series) is that you need to relax. If you aren’t relaxed, it is going to 
be difficult to truly benefit from reflexology. You not only want to relax your face, but 
your entire body. Find a quiet and peaceful area of your home, choosing somewhere 
that you can close the door. This can be in your bathroom or bedroom, during a time of 
the day when there are minimal distractions.

Sit in Front of a Mirror

Unlike foot and hand reflexology, you really need to sit in front of a mirror for facial 
reflexology. While eventually you will be able to do this by touch, it helps to be able to 
see your face and find the right pressure points according to the chart you are using.

Use Your Index Finger or Thumb

For facial reflexology, your thumb or index finger are best. Find the pressure point on 
your face that you want to stimulate, then apply moderate to firm pressure on that area. 
Rotate your finger in a circular motion while continuing to hold pressure, doing this for a 
few seconds. You can repeat the pressure on the same area or move around to 
different pressure points on your face.
