My favorite unusual beauty tip is: get a regular facial massage! Pollution from cities, too much sun exposure, and stress can make your wrinkles look way worse. A facial massage tightens your skin and helps remove environmental toxins. It increases blood circulation — and it feels GREAT. I give myself a facial massage every night.

My favorite health and beauty tip is a full body massage….and my massage therapist briefly massages my face, too. I always thought it would give me more wrinkles!
That reminds me; I need to book a massage soon.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Francie.
