The Face Ritual: Self-Massage Workshop (evening)

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 and spiky balls… There are so many techniques to choose from.

But how do you know what your face actually needs? Which methods support lymphatic drainage? Which techniques release tension and create a natural lifting effect?

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

First, we will explore basic facial anatomy. This will help you understand the facial muscles, lymphatic system and common areas of tension.

Then, we will practise two different but complementary ways of working with the face.

Lymphatic drainage

You will learn gentle drainage techniques using gua sha, dry brushing and your hands.

These techniques can support lymphatic flow and reduce facial puffiness. As a result, the face may feel lighter, fresher and more relaxed.

Lifting techniques

Next, we will focus on stimulating and relaxing the facial muscles.

You will use your hands and spiky massage balls. These techniques can 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 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 create a simple self-massage routine for home

This workshop is not about following complicated trends or learning dozens of exercises.

Instead, it is about understanding your own face. You will learn practical techniques that you can use confidently at home.

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 individual guidance

No previous experience is needed.

Please arrive without makeup if possible. However, cleansing products will be available if you need them.

Everything required for the workshop will be prepared for you.

Finally, you will leave with practical knowledge, your own massage tools and a routine you can start using immediately.
