I will like to share this video I found on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwM5v8PPjt0&feature=related

It shows you how to do a face massage yourself at home! I went for a lymphatic drainage facial once and its really expensive! I tried this once and it's really relaxing. Maybe I can do this once a week and go for the facial once a month! I also bought the products my masseuse uses. She uses a mixture of 2 Methode Physiodermie products.

(1) Normalizing (HY) Bioarome
(2) Decongesting (VD) Bioarome

You guys should try it! I'm also wondering if the jade roller works. I saw in a magazine that Kate Moss uses that.

You might also want to look up the Karin Herzog "pressure wash" approach...the link below is broken now, but I happened to save this in a word doc. The key thing is the hand movements...I'm sure you can do this with many products.

The Pressure Wash System
For maximum lymph drainage to de-congest the skin

Description
The lymph drainage system is the bodies natural mechanism for toxin removal. Sometimes our system can be sluggish and toxin removal can be slow, this results in congested skin that can look grey, dull and lifeless, and even prone to break-outs. To stimulate the removal of these toxins, we need to increase the circulation and aid the flow of the waist product to the areas known as the lymph nodes.

We know that using the Karin Herzog oxygen products stimulates the circulation and the antiseptic effect of the oxygen kills bacteria formed in the layers of the skin, but you can promote even quicker results by practicing a simple procedure that will enhance the result of Vita-A-Kombi and speed up lymph drainage.

Method
These Movements should be done with the fingertips.
1. Apply a small amount of cleanser to the face and neck area.
2. Using light circular movements massage behind the ears and work in a downward motion down the neck. This will help relieve tension and and allow clear drainage. [repeat]
3. Move hands to the forehead, placing them at the centre, apply light but firm pressure as you part the hands out towards the sides of the head. You are draining toxins to the lymph node situated by the temples. [repeat]
4. Move the hands to the jaw line - move the fingers around the jaw bone applying pressure underneath in a pinching action, working out from behind the chin towards the ear and hold. [repeat]
5. Place fingers on the area between the nose and the upper lip, and apply pressure here, again drain the toxins out towards the base of the ear and hold. Do not forget the corners of the mouth.
6. Move the fingers to the eye, to the bone area below. Place the fingertips firmly around the orbital bone pushing the toxins towards the temples.
7. Place the hands horizontally either side of the nose - apply pressure removing toxins from the nose and cheeks to the temples.
8. Finally, reward the face with a sweeping continuous stroking action over the entire area.
9. Soak the Karin Herzog Face Silk in hot* water. Apply to the face, press and leave.
10. Soak the Silk again in hot* water and sweep over the face.
11. Splash cold water over the entire area.
12. Wring out the silk completely
13. Blot the face dry with the silk
14. Continue with the oxygen program.
* If you are prone to broken capillaries please use only tepid water, as heat will aggravate the condition.
