The scalp massage that launched a thousand mothers-chasing-children-with-oil jokes. Skincare-adjacent because scalp health, tension, and circulation all show up on your face.
How It Works
Warm coconut, sesame, or bhringraj oil is massaged into scalp, temples, and neck. It penetrates follicles, conditions hair, and (via trigeminal nerve) drops forehead tension that can read as "tired face".
What to Expect
Twenty minutes of firm scalp pressure with warm oil. Your hair is an oil-slicked helmet for a few hours. Post-wash: shinier hair, softer jawline, less eye strain.
