Upwards massage strokes on face

Hi all, Someone asked me the other day why I stroke in an upwards motion on the face and other than saying it has a 'lifting effect' and that the circular motion was in keeping with the blood flow I was a bit stumped. Does anyone have anything further to add? I've trawled online with no success. Thanks, Michelle

Hi Michelle We were taught the skin on the face is so delicate that using anything other than an upwards or gentle patting stroke on the skin over time can lead to stretching and sagging. Must try & remember that when I'm slapping on make up first thing in the morning! Cheers June
