I recently re-started facial massage and stretching (taught by therapist) since my botox has worn off and I am not getting more injections until after a plastic surgery consult in March.
???
Anyways--> OUCH. My face is really sore from the stretching and massage and I have a bit of a headache.
What kind of things do you do to relieve that soreness....beyond Motin?
Thanks!

Heat - warm face cloths, a knee high filled with rice heated in the microwave, a magic bag - heated.
Works well for me... I do this morning and at night. My face gets tight and it helps the tightness as well as any pains.

Michelle's right - warm compresses on the face/neck is heaven. I do this multiple times a day, as needed. I give the outside of the bag (or sock) a little mist of water before I nuke it, which brings some moisture to the heat, which is always better for loosening muscles. Don't give up!

Cool idea about the misting. I am going to try it but maybe not too much water with my rice bag as I may need to eat it after. Hahahahah :o
