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!
