One Thing You Should Be Doing To Your Face

Facial Massage

We do everything we can for our skin—or at least, we thought we did, until we realized there was a whole world of untapped skin-bettering potential in the form of facial massage. As silly as it sounds, daily facial massages are like “exercise” for the muscles in the face. Just as a brisk jog increases circulation, releases toxins, and helps to flush toxins from the body, a good facial massage does the same for our skin.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser ($24.50, us.lizearle.com) has long been one of our favorite ways to remove makeup and debris after a long day (or night), but it’s also the perfect soft, creamy cleanser to use when massaging your face. We asked Liz Earle’s brand ambassador and top facialist Sarah Carr for her best face massage techniques and tips.
“Start by using firm upward and outward circular movements, working up the neck, across the cheeks toward the ears, around the eyes, and over the forehead, finishing on the temples. These movements help to boost circulation, which aids skin healing,” she says.
Sarah also teaches specific draining movements, which “help to flush out the lymphatic system, which helps to remove toxins and decongest the complexion, resulting in brighter skin.” The draining movements are perfect for those suffering from skin issues, like puffiness or breakouts. To begin, “Using light pressure, use the finger tips or side of the thumb to gently sweep along the jawline toward the ear. Repeat about six times for maximum results.”
For those plagued with dark circles and under-eye puffiness, Sarah recommends “using your index finger to gently sweep from the inner corner of the eye, following the natural face contour to the jaw line. Do this around eight times on each side.”
Once you’ve mastered facial massage techniques, it’s a simple, super-relaxing way to get the best skin of your life—and it only takes a couple of minutes!

Nothing But Sweat Workout Posted by Lisa-Marie   Warning : Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/sites/bodyrock.tv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bodyrock.tv/wo-breakdown.php  on line  528 . Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
