Step-by-Step: Herbal Lymphatic Drainage Facial Massage

 

💡 Pro tip: Lymph fluid sits just beneath the skin, so keep your touch ultra-light — think 1–2/10 on the pressure scale. Always move from the center of the face out toward the ears, then down the neck to the collarbones.

Step 1 – Cleanse & Prep

Start with a fresh canvas.

  • Use The Face Bar to wash away impurities and balance skin.
  • Pat dry 
  • Scoop out our illuminating Coffe, Vanilla Bean, Turmeric Face & Eye Balm and massage in underneath your eyes, whole face & down your neck.
  • Then apply 2–3 drops of Herbal Rosehip Face Serum to give your skin enough slip so your fingers glide — no tugging.

Step 2 – Open the Neck (30–45 seconds)

  • Place fingertips in the hollows just above your collarbones.
  • Do 10 light downward presses to “wake up” your lymph pathways.
  • Sweep hands from just below the ears, down the sides of your neck, to your collarbones. Repeat 5×.

Step 3 – Behind the Ears (30 seconds)

  • Gently hook fingertips behind your earlobes.
  • Glide straight down the neck to the collarbones. Repeat 5–7×.

Step 4 – Jawline & Chin (60–90 seconds)

  • Starting at the center of the chin, sweep along your jawline toward the ear. Repeat 5–7×.
  • From just under the corners of the mouth, glide along the jaw toward the ear. Repeat 5×.
  • After each set, sweep down the neck to the collarbones 2×.

Step 5 – Cheeks (60–90 seconds)

  • From the sides of your nose, sweep out across cheeks to the front of the ear. Repeat 5–7×.
  • From just above the corners of the lips, glide across cheekbones toward the ear. Repeat 5×.
  • Drain down the neck 2×.

Step 6 – Under-Eyes (45–60 seconds)

  • Using your ring fingers, start at the inner corner of the eye and sweep along the orbital bone to the temple, then to the ear. Repeat 5–7×.
  • Drain down the neck 2×.

Step 7 – Brows & Forehead (60–90 seconds)

  • Glide along the brow bone from inner brow to temple, then to the ear. Repeat 5×.
  • Starting at the center of the forehead, sweep out to the temples, then to the ears. Repeat 5–7×.
  • Finish with 3 long sweeps from the ears down the neck to the collarbones.

Step 8 – Seal in the Glow

  • Apply a small amount of Botanical Blue Face Cream to lock in all that hydration and nourishment.
  • Take a deep breath and admire your instantly brighter, more sculpted complexion.

Why It Works

This technique helps:

  • Reduce puffiness by guiding fluid to lymph nodes for processing.
  • Boost circulation for that fresh, healthy glow.
  • Enhance product absorption so every botanical extract and nutrient from your Herbal Face Ritual works harder for you.
  • Relieve tension in facial muscles, softening expression lines.

Make It a Ritual

Aim for 3–4 times a week, or daily on mornings when your face feels puffy. Consistency is key for lasting results. Follow up with water, herbal tea, or a few mindful breaths to keep the glow going inside and out.
