The Face Ritual: Self-Massage Workshop

The Face Ritual: Self-Massage Workshop

You don’t need more facial tools. You need to know how to use them.

Face yoga, gua sha, dry brushing, facial massage, spiky balls… There are so many techniques and tools, but how do you know what your face actually needs? Which methods support lymphatic drainage, which help release tension, and which can be used for natural lifting?

During this practical, hands-on facial self-massage workshop in Amsterdam, you will learn how to work with your face consciously, safely and effectively.

We will begin with basic facial anatomy so you can better understand the muscles, lymphatic system and different types of facial tension. Then, we will practise two complementary ways of working with the face:

Lymphatic drainage

Using gua sha, dry brushing and gentle manual techniques, you will learn how to support lymphatic flow, reduce facial puffiness and bring more freshness and lightness to the face.

Lifting techniques

Using your hands and spiky massage balls, you will learn how to stimulate the facial muscles, release accumulated tension and support a naturally lifted, more defined appearance.

During the workshop, you will learn:

✓ Basic facial anatomy and how the lymphatic system works
✓ The difference between lymphatic drainage and lifting techniques
✓ How facial tension can influence your expression and facial contours
✓ Lymphatic drainage techniques using gua sha, dry brushing and your hands
✓ Lifting techniques using your hands and spiky massage balls
✓ Simple exercises for the jaw, cheeks, eye area and facial contour
✓ How to combine the techniques into a simple routine you can practise at home

This workshop is not about following complicated trends or performing dozens of exercises. It is about understanding your own face and learning effective techniques you can use with confidence.

Your workshop experience includes:

✓ A two-hour guided facial self-massage practice
✓ A basic facial anatomy presentation
✓ Your own gua sha and spiky massage balls in a Kobido Amsterdam pouch
✓ Japanese tea
✓ A small, relaxed group with space for individual guidance

No previous experience is needed.

Please arrive without makeup if possible. Everything you need for the workshop will be prepared for you.

Come as you are and leave with practical knowledge, your own massage tools and a simple routine you can start using straight away.
