How to Do Under Eye Massage Techniques That Actually Work

Why Under Eye Massage Techniques Work

Under eye massage techniques improve lymphatic drainage, boost circulation, and help reduce puffiness by moving stagnant fluid. When done correctly, they can visibly refresh the eye area, smooth fine lines, and reduce the look of under eye bags—without expensive procedures or downtime.

• ✔️ Stimulates microcirculation
• ✔️ Aids lymphatic drainage
• ✔️ Temporarily lifts and firms the skin
• ✔️ Helps skincare ingredients absorb better

How to Do Under Eye Massage Techniques at Home

To perform under eye massage techniques that actually work, always start with clean hands and a gentle serum or oil to reduce friction. Use your ring finger or a tool to gently tap and sweep along the orbital bone, following the lymphatic flow for best results.

Step-by-Step Under Eye Bags Massage Routine

1. Apply a light eye serum or cream — avoid heavy products.
2. Use your ring fingers or a tool to tap from inner to outer corners under each eye.
3. Sweep gently along the orbital bone in a circular motion.
4. Use light pressure only — think of brushing a petal.
5. Repeat each move 5–10 times on each side.
6. Finish by lightly pressing the temples to encourage drainage.
