The benefits of facial massage are endless. First, it boosts blood circulation to the skin, which helps reduce dullness and fine lines. It helps relax tight facial muscles (ideal if you clench your jaw or grind your teeth at night). Facial massage helps relax scar tissue, again by boosting blood flow, this loosens the taught scar tissue to smooth an uneven skin texture (brilliant if you have acne scarring). Finally used with our serum or night cream facial massage helps drive the actives from your skincare deep into the skin. Here’s how I use the Manicare NOVA FIT Facial Massager, $138.
Powered by salon-quality electronic muscle stimulation the Manicare NOVA FIT Facial Massager has dual massage modes.
For relaxation, use the blue indicator, there are three speeds. This is designed to gently knead the skin to relieve tension while helping to support skin rejuvenation pluming the skin at the same time.
For a more intense skin workout, select the red indicator, also with three speeds, his is ideal for lifting under the cheeks, jawline and neck.
What is it?
This DIY Manicare NOVA FIT face massager is a salon-grade beauty tool that has electronic muscle stimulation technology (EMS). It’s a mini workout for your face; that improves the firmness and tone of the skin, boosting radiance, while helping the active ingredients in your skincare penetrate deeper, faster. For the best results, treat your skin to a five-minute facial workout either first thing in the morning after your shower or to help you relax before bed using gentle, but firm pressure.
