Learn the touch, one evening at a time.

A 4-week course in face massage you do at home, taught in short, self-paced video lessons.

Your two hands are all you need to begin.

Week 1The press

Nobody ever showed us how.

Hands first. Then the face.

You touch your face every day: to wash it, to put cream on, to rest your chin in your hand. Nobody shows you how to do it on purpose.

The course starts there. It begins with your hands: how warm they are, how much they press, how slowly they move.

Four weeks is long enough for the hands to learn, and short enough to finish.

Four strokes, practised like handwriting.

Each week adds one stroke to the page. Watch the short lesson, then practise the stroke on your own face, the way you once copied letters between ruled lines.

Each stroke starts at the red dot and ends where your hands come away from your face.

  1. Week 1

    The press

    Warm palms resting on your face, and learning how much is enough.

    Tonight: rub your palms until they're warm, rest them on your cheeks, and wait.

  2. Week 2

    The glide

    Long, slow strokes outward from the centre of the face.

    Tonight: chin to ear, as slowly as you can bear. Then the other side.

  3. Week 3

    The circle

    Small, unhurried circles under two fingertips.

    Tonight: along the jaw and under the cheekbones, as if writing a row of small o's.

  4. Week 4

    Joined up

    The four strokes in one sequence, an evening routine of your own.

    Tonight: the whole sequence, start to finish, with the lesson playing beside you.

What the four weeks hold.

Each week adds one stroke to the last, and every lesson is short enough for a weeknight.

Who it's for.

Written for ordinary evenings, and the women who end them.

A woman on a sofa in lamp light, the house quiet around her.
Kids in bed, dishes done, and the evening finally hers.
A woman at her bathroom shelf, holding a jar of cream.
Owns three face creams and has never thought about how she puts them on.
A woman at a desk, chin resting in her hand.
You rest your face in your hands at your desk more than you'd admit.
A woman smiling wryly beside an open drawer.
Bought a massage tool once. It lives in a drawer now.
A woman by a window, absorbed in something in her hands.
Likes a thing she can learn to do well, slowly.
A woman in a dim, quiet bathroom, the door closed behind her.
A quiet bathroom, door shut, phone in the other room.
A woman watching something closely, her hands still in her lap.
Learns better by watching than by reading.

Fair questions before you start.

Five of them, answered plainly.

What do I need?

Your hands, a mirror if you like, and whatever you already put on your face at night. Nothing to buy before lesson one.

How long are the lessons?

Short. They're self-paced, so you watch when it suits you: after the dishes, before bed, or twice on a slow Sunday.

What if I miss a few evenings?

Nothing happens. Pick up where you left off. The lessons wait on the page like an open copybook.

Will it change my face?

We don't promise anything about your face. The course teaches a touch. How it feels is yours to find out.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Start the first lesson free, and decide after that whether the other weeks are for you.
