Facial massage, not just a relaxation
Massage, particularly facial massage, is one of the most pleasurable and intimate aspects of topical facial treatments; however, it is about more than just feeling good. When used correctly, massage can improve many skin conditions and your skin care facility’s bottom line.
Benefit off Facial massage
Detoxifies the Body
Massaging the face stimulates the lymphatic vessels and facilitates toxin elimination from the facial area. Lymph is a clear fluid that removes toxins from the body and muscle movement is needed to help it move and perform appropriately – without this movement, one can suffer a sluggish lymphatic system and a build-up of toxins.
There are many lymph nodes scattered throughout the facial area, especially along the edge of the chin and jawline so a face massage is a good place to start if you’re thinking of detoxing.
Brightens the complexion
Relaxing the muscles and increasing circulation to the face de-puffs and brightens one’s complexion, especially around the eye area. Face massage increases circulation, oxygenating the blood and encouraging the presence of fresh, healing red blood cells.
Curb congestion
Therapeutic massage can help relieve allergy symptoms, such as sinus congestion. A buildup of mucus in the sinus areas can result in pressure, puffiness and headaches. Steam inhalation and gentle massage helps to mobilize secretions, improve drainage and relieve congestion. See a doctor if you have more serious sinus conditions, such as an infection.
Circulation gets enhanced
This is one of the benefits of facial massage on the circulatory system. Facial massage when done perfectly, enhances the circulation of blood and oxygen to your face. This will reduce the formation of fine lines around your mouth as well as eyes.
