A massage should start from the neck upwards and end at the forehead or temples to ensure that all veins and tissues are stimulated for optimum blood circulation.
The skin around the eyes is delicate, so it is advisable to apply cream on this part gently. Cream takes 15-20 minutes to absorb so massage for that long. Wipe off extra cream with a cotton wool swab soaked in water. Do not forget to remove all traces of make-up, otherwise the pores of the skin will be blocked by particles of dirt. If there are blackheads, they should be removed.
