Lymphatic drainage is the self-care obsession du jour.
Got that buzzy buccal fat or love handles that refuse to budge? Maybe skip the surgeon and start knuckling your puffy cheeks and dry brushing your bloated belly instead.
Finger scissors. Chin sweeps. Full circles. In typical TikTok overkill fashion, clips featuring a blizzard of body-part kneading and stroking techniques have exploded over the last year, drawing focus to our lymphatic systems. A wildly complex network of organs, nodes, ducts and vessels, its core job is to circulate lymph, a feisty fluid that fights infection by sprinkling immunity-boosting cells throughout the body.
If that network gets sluggish, beauty bummers can pile up. “A stagnant lymphatic system will cause acne, breakouts, puffiness and dry skin,” says New York City skin-care guru Joanna Vargas, who swears by facial lymphatic massage for both herself and her A-list clients. “It can completely change the look of someone’s face.”
