Benefits of Facial Massage To The Skin

In quick words, there are numerous ways our body receive benefits from Facial Massage. But it’s not only to the body the good feeling, the skin positively is directly affected by this treat to the body. Let’s see what happens with our skin in details.

The main benefit is the blood flow stimulation that the rubbing process, creates on your body. The blood that generally is concentrated in more internal layers of the skin now receives a “sign” that we need other parts that need attention, delivering oxygen and swapping toxins from these skin tissues.

That means I Can do a Facial Massage on Myself?

Yes, if you want to have an immediate spa glow and radiance, know that is possible to do it at home and turn that into a skincare routine and be delighted with the results.

People have the wrong idea that facials are exclusively a surgical procedure and actually it is not. Through massage, you can be promoting significant results and check why it became so popular through the years.

Or skin, as seen in other posts, has seven (7) layers, not only three (3) – as many of us learned from science classes at school. One of the layers is the muscles, which impacts directly in the facial structure and as like the other muscles, needs stimuli to be toned and lean.

What Is Needed to Promote a Facial Massage

First of all, the hands needed to be clean and warmed up, so start rubbing your hands together, with some sort of lubrication, coconut oil or jojoba oil, stretching the fingers. Use fingers to pressure all the points in your hand including different parts of your fingers.

An important thing to bear in mind during a facial massage is the strokes, hard enough to feel the gliding movements but on the same token softy enough to do not harm. In moves that bring the face-up, or in the direction we want our skin to be set, if you know what I mean… :-)

Think about the most relevant parts of your face that need blood flow and glow. Eye contour, mouth, lips area, cheeks, and jaw. I use to take advantage of the time and the cleansing step for the facial.

I use a gentle, natural cleanser, which is soapy and helps to slide my fingers and hands to perform the strokes and gliding. Most of the time I’m doing this stage during the shower, taking time, as there are mutual benefits, from the cleansing and massaging in this step.

Soapy Cleansers (more suitable for the massage movements) with soothing and antimicrobial ingredients, such as chamomile and ginger, brings a lot of benefits as well and avoid bacteria to sit and clog pores.

Even though using these ingredients are beneficial, if you have an open cut or lesion or cold sore. It’s not a good idea to proceed with the facial massage. Can be harmful.

The More You Do, More Expert You Become in Facial Massage, More Visible Results You Get

Besides the incredible benefits of blood circulation improvement, delivering glowing and radiance to the skin, the strokes stimulates lifting and firming the muscle tone.

• The friction also helps to swap away the dead cells of the very first layer of the skin
• Impurities and Toxins are eliminated, such as uric acid from sweat, promoting radiance skin
• Glands are stimulated to produce natural protection and collagen, delivering elasticity to the skin
• Wonderful relaxation feeling supported by tension relief of the skin and deep tissues
• Better color and tone of the skin are enhanced through the benefits of dilation of capillaries

One thing almost everybody who passes through Facial Massage Agree is they start with the intention of promoting a relaxation process and ended up loving it by the youthful-looking, nice texture and glowing delivered to the face.

Are the Benefits of a Facial Massage Immediate?

Yes, promoting more oxygen flow to the face, more life immediately. If the skin is dull and no glow, that could be also a sign of a lack of life, oxygen, and facial massages has this immediate feedback.

But I’m not mentioning only the immediate results. Long Term effects such as under eye bags help the fluids accumulated due to some kind of allergy, leak especially if using an eye cream with actives which support that.

If you want to get short and long-term benefits from Facial Massages, start doing it three (3) times a week.

Bringing more benefits through Facial Massage

The Neck is part of the story as well! Remember I told you that I use to do my facial during the shower? I feel more freedom to do it with no rush and taking advantage of time in the shower with no mess!

Facial Massage Technique for Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet

We are all thinking by now that, if it is useful for creating the glow, could it be advantageous for wrinkles and crow’s feet? And the answer is yes! There are a couple of techniques we can apply here:

For Wrinkles, the right method involves our middle finger to put pressure to the center of the forehead, for approximately three (3) seconds, opening to the sides, sliding the fingers to the temple. It is also a very good technique to alleviate stress and headaches. In the same motion do some small circular movements, from the middle to the sides of the forehead. These techniques help to work on the fine frowning lines of the forehead.

For the Crow’s feet, the best technique to apply is using the index fingers, starting to pressure the nose bridge, between the eyes, moving down below to the inner eyes stroking softly, from center to the sides, passing through the eye contour and cheeks and moving gently up until you get to the temple. This technique also helps to leak puffiness, so take advantage on it too!

Almost Done With The Facial Massage

Last, but not least, there’s no such thing to receive all the benefits from a good massage, if we don’t drink plenty of water. Eight to Twelve (8-12) glasses a day, helps our skin to plump naturally and the benefits are even better.

Then there are the steps to follow just after the cleansing, massaging step, which is treating with your preferred serum treatment and the moisturizer, which will complement all the job done with mastery. Definitely, the skin is very receptive to the treatment and the absorption will be even better, reaching deeper levels of the skin, bringing long-term benefits from it.

Enjoy and have fun!
