Give yourself a face rub
Starting at your forehead and working down to you chin, lightly flutter, tap or drum your fingertips, varying the velocity, intensity and location until you've touched your entire face. I have several questions about this sentence:
1. Could I use from instead of at?
2. Could I use "start", and "work" instead of "starting" and "working?"
3. Why does the author use starting and working, while later use flutter, tap, and drum" instead of "fluttering, tapping, and drumming?"
4. Could I say, "....flutter, tap, or drum with your fingertips?"
5. If I could use "start" and "work", then could I also use "vary" instead of "varying?"
