Push The Pesky Toxins
It is now time for you to push the pesky toxins out, and do so by gently rubbing the area between your eyebrows (your third eye), all the way down to your nose tip. Imagine exhaling the toxins out through the nose, with the help of your fingers. Emulate a sweeping motion when practicing the same- repeat five times.
Flick Your Chin
A flicking motion should be indulged in and from the chin upward to the lower li. This helps uplift areas around the mouth. This is also helpful in making the skin around this area produce more collagen too.

Focus On The Tension Points
It is around the eyes where stress can be seen the most, and these areas are called the tension points too. Most stress is accumulated here, which is why a facial massage around this zone is a must. Start by gently rubbing the area at the tip of your brow bone, sweeping towards the outside of the brows. Repeat five times per brow bone!
Finally
Bring back your fingers from the brow bone in a very gentle and slow manner, and place them under each eye. Close your eyes and gently tap the lids, five times. Take a deep breath and relax.
