Many of us make the mistake of reserving massages as a treat confined to spa visits and special occasions.

The truth is that you can reap the beauty rewards of massage in your home: after your morning cuppa, while you're watching television or just before you put your pyjamas on.

If you're not engaging in self-massage rituals, then you're missing out on the opportunity to develop younger-looking skin or a leaner body.

If you spend time massaging skincare products into the skin instead of just rubbing them on, the ingredients are pushed to a deeper level in the skin to repair and replenish at a cellular level.

People often neglect massage at home.

It only adds a couple of extra minutes onto your daily routine and makes such a difference that everyone should start incorporating massage into their beauty regime Pour a few drops of face oil onto your hands, warm between your palms and spread evenly.

Place your fingertips on your jawbone and, with light pressure, make a large, sweeping circle from the jaw line up either side of your nose to the centre of the forehead, out along the hairline and down the temples to meet at the jawbone.

This gently stimulates energy and spreads the oil.

Use circular movements with the tips of the index, middle and ring fingers, starting at the chin and travelling along the jaw line and then up from the angles of the jaw to the temples.

Pinch the skin on each side of the nose, close to the base of the nostrils, moving first under the cheekbones and then up toward the tops of the ears.

Placing the tips of the middle fingers at the inner corners of the eyes, slide your fingers upward, pushing against the orbital bone, and then outward, just above the eyebrows, towards the ears.

Use circular movements to massage the forehead, starting just above the top of the nose, moving up towards the hairline, and then outwards until you reach the temples.
