Is your skin dull and lifeless? How a lymphatic drainage massage can get your skin glowing again

It’s been said that lymphatic drainage massages are key to a glowing complexion and smoother silhouette. Though they aren’t new, they have been going from strength to strength. So what makes them so sought after?

Think of your lymphatic system as your body’s clean-up crew, explained Dr Lina Yow, aesthetic doctor at IDS Clinic. “It is part of the body’s immune system, comprising a network of organs, vessels and tissue.”

It helps maintain the body’s fluid balance, removing waste, water and unwanted toxins – caused by too much alcohol, coffee, sugar, stress or even infection, that build up into lymph fluid, shared Inge Theron, founder of FaceGym.
