Let's do quick facial massage right at home

Being a mother, you must once in a while do this sort of thing, like pampering your body with massage and facial treatment. When we take care of ourselves, we can take care our beloved ones better. Agree?

So, I've decided to start another regime and routine to my current beauty and fitness. Facial massage! Yup! I hardly go to any beauty parlour to get facial treatment and such as I prefer to do it at home using my own concoction or bought trusted mask & scrubs. So why not includes facial massage and learn to do the right technique?

I believe most of us concentrates to have pimple-free face or anxious whitening our skin. Much to blame by the influence of advertisements.Even if you already using anti-aging cream, it works better if you include the massage as well. Not only the body or the foot (reflexology) needs massaging, you know.... 

Here is my findings after the assistance of Mr Google here & there.....
