You can do your facial exercises after washing of face. This and the time after taking a bath are the best times to do the exercises since the skin is most relaxed, hydrated and soft during this time. In massaging your face, it is best to use oil, creams or lotions for the face. The massage should start at your forehead to your temples in a rotating motion with the use of your palms. The routine should be done on both the upper and lower part of your forehead twice.

Then, the three middle fingers of your both hands should massage your temples to your scalp three times, also in a circular motion. With your index and middle finger, you should also massage your nose bridge downwards, also done three times. Last routine includes sweeping your forehead upwards using your left and right hand alternately three times. Doing these everyday will definitely make your skin young looking and renewed.
