Lymphatic Drainage Massage Tutorial for the Face

Lymphatic drainage massage has become a popular way to address excess fluid that often shows up in the face — puffy eyes, anyone? — as well as the legs, arms, and stomach. This excess fluid can build up if your body’s got a lot of debris for the lymphatic system to sweep away, or if the lymphatic system isn’t adequately stimulated with things like regular deep breaths. (Or, for many of us these days, all of the above.)

The Lymphatic Brush, designed by esthetician and educator Cecily Braden, is a an easy, ergonomic, and effective way to incorporate lymphatic drainage massage into your self-care routine, stimulating lymphatic flow to reduce stagnation. Below, you’ll find a quick 2-minute tutorial using the small brush for the face; on this page, you’ll find a more detailed 5-minute version using the set we sell with both the larger and the smaller brush.
