In reply to Faby.

Faby, I know it’s shocking right? I used to rub in my sunscreen too – not anymore!

Facial massages can be beneficial to boost circulation, which in turn brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin faster. But they need to be performed very gently so as not to rub and stretch the skin too much. Also, they’re not suitable for anyone with rosacea, eczema or other inflammatory condition.

Thank you!

Wow that sunscreen one really scared me! I usually pat but now that I think about it, I always rub in sunscreen D: Also, I’ve seen a lot of buzz about face massaging and actually thought it sounded promising lol but… that’d be rubbing, right? Do you have any info on that topic? Like would it actually turn out to be worst for skin? Btw I love your posts, you do a really great job here! Thanks for giving us the science behind the BS (:

Thank you for finally explaining. I’ve been seeing it in my feed a lot. AND I’ve been trying it for the past week.
The main difference I can perceive is that it’s made my tinted moisturizer seem much much dewier. Almost like it was a thin layer on top of my face.
But, that was basically it. So thank you for clarifying!

In reply to Airi. Airi, I use a mineral sunscreen, so I can apply less than 1/4tsp. Mineral sunscreens provide a shield on the skin, so as long as you cover every inch, you're fine. But I apply a bit more for good measure.
