I find I hold a lot of tension in my jaw, and had never thought to massage my face myself to find relief—that was until I found this video, which walks you through simple facial massage exercises. Facial massage is also a great way to increase blood flow and regeneration in areas where we need it, so it’s a win-win. (For more insight, you can read this article from The New York Times.)

ILIA Lip Wrap Hydrating Mask

NARS Liquid Blush
$30This blush makes you look alive, even when you feel at your absolute worst. I wear the color Orgasm. A little goes a long way, and once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to use. I put one dab on my hand, swirl it a bit with my ring finger, and lightly pat it on my cheeks. Then I used a brush to buff it in. You look flushed in the best way without looking like you’ve got a ton of blush on.

ILIA Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm

NuFACE Mini
$209I’ve been using it every night for weeks, and I can tell that my cheekbones look more pronounced and my jawline is a bit more smooth. The process itself isn’t totally painless—sometimes it lightly “zaps” my face (which may mean I need to apply more product before using it) and I tend to be a bit red afterward. All that aside, I noticed results with this one in particular very quickly. It feels like a quick workout for my face.
