Take time to give your face a proper rubdown when dabbing on skincare in the morning or evening, and you’ll see and feel an instant upgrade. For the best effects, dip your index and middle fingers into a facial oil or a moisturiser. Then massage the pressure points directly below your pupils along your eye sockets in a circular motion for 60 seconds to two minutes, says Gabrielle Francis, a New York City chiropractor, acupuncturist, and massage therapist. This motion increases blood flow and oxygen to the area, which helps rejuvenate tired skin, she adds. Couple that with the small endorphin rush you’ll get from this simple act of pampering, and you’re primed to look refreshed and revived.
