Puffiness Drainage Massage
Facial puffiness is usually lymphatic fluid that has pooled rather than drained properly overnight. This full-face massage follows the direction lymph naturally flows — from the center of the face outward and down toward the neck, where lymph nodes clear the fluid.
How to Do It
With very light pressure, sweep from the center of the face outward and slightly downward toward the sides of the neck.
Why It Works
Manual lymphatic drainage is a well-established technique for reducing localised swelling by manually encouraging fluid toward the lymph nodes that process it.
Benefits
- Reduces the look of morning facial puffiness
- Follows the natural direction of lymphatic drainage
- A calming way to start or end your skincare routine
FAQ
When should I do the Puffiness Drainage Massage?
Mornings are ideal, when overnight fluid retention is at its most visible — but it also works well as an evening wind-down after a long day.
How much pressure should I use?
Very light — lymphatic vessels sit close to the surface of the skin, so firm pressure is counterproductive. Think gentle sweeping, not massaging deep tissue.
