As with a standard body massage, the goal is to relieve tension in the muscles. Facial massage aims to achieve the same thing, both to reduce and to prevent facial wrinkles. Facial massage also stimulates the nerves, of which there are many in the face, in order to increase circulation. Sometimes facial massage, like a more traditional massage, is employed only as a means of relaxation.
Facial Massage Oil
-
A wide variety of oils are used while giving facial massages. Depending on where you get a facial massage or what skin type you have, various vegetable oils or nut oils can be used. Oils from vegetables are not as likely to clog the pores and can help treat drier skin. Before a massage, the face is usually cleaned thoroughly in order to remove dead or dry skin so that the oil will be more readily absorbed.

Professional Facial Massage

While you can also learn to do your own facial massage, many people go to professionals to be sure they are getting the most benefit from the massage. A facial massage should not be as long as a back or body massage, as the skin on and around the face is more fragile, thin and prone to peeling and stretching. This is why we get wrinkles on our faces in the first place.
Other Products

There are many theories that pollution and poor air quality contribute to wrinkles and signs of aging in the face. There are whole lines of topical products to use in conjuncture with massage to reduce the effects of this pollution on the skin. Many times, these products are the main source of medication and the electronic massage instruments are meant to help the skin absorb the lotion or cream by opening the pores.
