This might sound weird, but it is my favorite part of my routine. I have this wonderful device called Nurse Jamie Accelerator Ultra ($220). It's a little pricey, but you can use your fingers too to drain your skin. I like to do it during the time a mask has to sit on your face; that's 20 minutes of pure multitasking. It's like a spa at home!
After I'm done massaging, I do a trick I learned from being on TV and movie sets. I grab a small wet hand towel, put a little bit of lavender oil on it, then put everything in a Ziploc bag, and put it in the microwave for a minute. Be careful when you take the towel out of the bag; it'll be really hot, so wait until it's cooled down and put it over your face. Remove whatever you have on your skin (the mask!) with this lavender oil. You'll just feel like a million bucks.
So remember the simple plan: water, sunscreen, exfoliation, masks, antioxidants, and a nice at-home facial.
