The Gold Facial Massage Tool That’s De-Puffing My Face

I saw a demonstration of this T-shaped facial massage tool (a.k.a. the gold beauty lift bar) making the rounds on Instagram and was quickly suckered in. Videos showing the vibrating massager making women’s faces instantly slimmer had me thinking “Ohhhh, I need this in my life.”

In truth, I’ve wanted to get a proper tool for facial massage for a while. My roller massager from The Body Shop was terrible and I wasn’t too keen on jumping onto the jade roller bandwagon. However, this vibrating gold massage bar did look promising…*gets out credit card*

What Are The Benefits of Facial Massage? Glad you asked…

Besides feeling amazing, facial massage is great for:

*Increasing blood flow and oxygen to the skin, which promotes collagen production

*Increasing the absorption of skin care products

*Promoting lymphatic drainage

*Reducing puffiness and slimming down facial features

*Brightening the complexion

*Reducing fine lines

*Reducing sinus pressure

*Relief of facial tension and stress

I also recently read an article in Byrdie about celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who says that she uses facial massage to contour the face and stimulate an all over glow for her clients.

Can You Do A Facial Massage Every Day?

Yes, facial massage is safe to do daily and is a great way to obtain all the benefits stated above for the over 40 muscles in your face.

 

How Does The Facial Massager Work?

The facial massager is powered by one AA battery inserted into the end and gently vibrates when switched to the “On” position. After applying moisturizer or my Rosehip Seed Oil from The Ordinary, I like to use the massager all over my face, moving outwards and upwards, starting from the centre.

I also use it on my neck, starting from the jawline and working downwards. My favourite place to massage is the area under my eyebrows, which tends to get puffy and makes my hooded eyes look extra hooded.

Tip: Love sheet masks? I’ve used the facial massager on top of a sheet mask to push the mask’s contents into my skin for better absorption.

Does It Slim and De-Puff?

Did the facial massager instantly slim my face like all those online videos?

Yes – although more so when I first started using it. Over time, my face has slimmed down a bit and I know that it’s not due to weight loss (unfortunately no change in that area). The facial massager also helps reduce the puffiness I get around my eyes and I’ve noticed the facial redness that usually crops up on my cheeks is almost non-existent now.

Plus, the vibrating sensation on my face feels AMAZING – great for anyone who holds tension in their jaw, around their eyes or between their eyebrows. In short – this beauty tool is indispensable to me and has no fear of being shoved away in some deep, dark drawer.

I love using it and especially love the extra glow in my complexion. It instantly melts away the day’s stress and gives me a short, but much needed facial pamper session without me ever having to leave the house or pay an esthetician. I use it in both my morning and evening skin care routine.
