The 7-Minute Lift

The routine

Eight steps, about seven minutes

Light pressure throughout — the skin should move with your fingers, not slide underneath them. Clean hands. A little oil if you prefer.

010:00

Settle and warm the hands45 sec

Sit tall, shoulders soft, teeth apart. Rub your palms together until warm, then cup them lightly over your face without pressing. Three slow breaths — out a little longer than in.

Where you feel it: warmth, and the first drop in tension.

020:45

Jaw release60 sec

Find the muscle just above the back corner of the jaw — clench once to locate it, then unclench and leave the teeth apart. Small, slow circles with two or three fingertips, both sides. Work down toward the jaw angle and back up.

Where you feel it: the broad muscle at the back of the jaw.

031:45

Temples and brow45 sec

Fingertips at the temples, slow circles. Then the pads of your index fingers just under the inner ends of the brow bone, sweeping outward along the bone to the temple. Four or five passes.

Where you feel it: a light spreading along the brow bone.

Cheek sweep60 sec

Flat fingers either side of the nose. Sweep outward along the top of the cheekbone toward the ear, then repeat just below it. Slow, even, light — eight to ten passes each side.

Where you feel it: a smooth glide across the cheek. No dragging.

053:30

Under the eye30 sec

Ring finger only — it's the weakest finger, which is the point. Tap gently along the bone under the eye, inner corner outward. Tapping only. Never drag, stretch, or press here.

Where you feel it: light tapping on bone, never on the lid.

064:00

Mouth and jawline45 sec

Small circles at the corners of the mouth, then a light pinch-and-release along the jawline from the centre of the chin out to the ear. Three passes each side.

Where you feel it: the jawline edge.

074:45

Neck and collarbone60 sec

Flat, open hands. Downward only — from under the ear, down the side of the neck, finishing at the collarbone. Very light, more stroke than massage. Ten slow passes each side. Stay off the front of the throat.

Where you feel it: one long downward stroke.

085:45

Close45 sec

Warm the palms again, cup them over the face. Three slow breaths. Notice how the jaw is sitting now compared with seven minutes ago.

Where you feel it: stillness. This step matters more than it looks.
