When a few influencers started showing up in my feed rubbing their face with a technique I hadn t seen before, I wondered what all the fuss was about.
They were demonstrating an at-home lymphatic drainage facial (or face massage) claiming to calm the skin by draining toxins and reducing puffiness.
Dermatologist Adrian Lim says lymphatic massage has traditionally been used in a medical sense, such as treating breast cancer-related lymphoedema. Theoretically, because it clears excess fluid and toxins, that might be a good thing for your face too, Dr Lim says.
