How to Give Yourself a Luxurious Facial & Scalp Massage with Anointed Facial Oil

Introducing Anointed Facial Oil:

a carefully crafted blend that embodies a decade of esthetic expertise and the rich, healing botanicals of Tofino. Designed in collaboration with Tofino Soap Company’s founder and expert esthetician, Angela, this oil harnesses the power of wild Nootka Rose along with other nutrient-dense wildflowers to create a nourishing, non-greasy, and calming addition to any skincare routine. Today, we’re sharing a guide on how to use this oil to give yourself a rejuvenating facial and scalp massage right at home.

Massage is more than just a luxurious experience—it also promotes circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, and can improve your skin’s radiance. Anointed Facial Oil adds another layer of benefits, as it’s packed with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that calm the skin while delivering deep hydration and a soft, natural glow.

Step-by-Step Guide to Facial Massage

1. Prepare Your Skin: Start with a cleansed face. For a deep cleanse, apply a small amount of Anointed Facial Oil to dry skin, massaging it in gentle circular motions. Then, wipe away with a warm, damp cloth.

2. Warm the Oil: Dispense 3–5 drops of Anointed Facial Oil into your hands and gently rub your palms together to warm it up. This activates the oil’s botanical ingredients and makes it easier to apply.

3. Begin with Your Chin and Jawline: Using your fingertips, start at the center of your chin and glide your fingers along your jawline toward your ears. Apply a gentle, upward pressure to help lift and contour this area. Repeat 5–7 times.

4. Move to the Cheeks: Place your fingers near the sides of your nose and sweep them outward across your cheeks, following the line of your cheekbones. Use gentle, upward strokes to promote a lifting effect. Repeat 5 times.

5. Focus on the Forehead: Starting at the center of your forehead, use your fingertips to make small, circular motions, working outward toward your temples. This helps relieve tension and smooths the appearance of fine lines. Repeat 5 times.

6. Gentle Pressure on the Eye Area: Use your ring fingers to lightly tap around your eyes, starting at the inner corners and moving outward. Be extra gentle, as this area is delicate. This technique boosts circulation and can help reduce puffiness.

7. Finish with the Neck: Massage downward from your jawline to your collarbone using gentle, sweeping motions. This supports lymphatic drainage and can leave your skin feeling refreshed.

Step-by-Step Guide to Scalp Massage

A scalp massage is a fantastic way to stimulate blood flow and relieve tension. Here’s how to use Anointed Facial Oil to enhance your experience:

1. Apply a Small Amount of Oil: Dispense 1–2 drops of Anointed Facial Oil into your fingertips. Though formulated for the face, its lightweight nature also works beautifully for the scalp without leaving a heavy residue.

2. Start at the Temples: Using your fingertips, make small circular motions on each side of your temple, slowly increasing pressure to relieve tension.

3. Move to the Crown: Gradually work your way toward the top of your scalp. Gently press and release your fingertips in a rhythmic pattern to stimulate circulation.

4. Focus on the Base of the Skull: Spend a few moments massaging at the nape of your neck. This area often holds tension, and massaging here can create a relaxing experience.

5. Finish with the Hairline: Massage along your hairline, starting at the center of your forehead and moving toward your ears. This final step can help calm the mind and complete your ritual.
