People are often surprised by how much massage is involved in a facial. The benefits of facial massage are numerous and make it a necessary component of any good anti-aging program. Your face is a complex system of nerves, tissue, blood vessels and lymph nodes. Massaging the face can help improve the appearance of the skin by allowing this complex structure to function better.
Have you ever woken up in the morning and noticed that your skin looks all puffy and swollen? One good remedy to reduce this is through facial massage.
Protein binds to water so the more protein found in the connective tissue the less water can flow out through the blood capillaries slowing the removal of waste products and producing edema (puffy look) because these protein molecules will attract more water. This is why drinking more water is also a good idea -to help flush out toxins.
With facial massage this water can be moved out through the lymphatic system, massage will also accelerate blood flow through the capillaries helping to flush out the system and reduce the puffy appearance in the skin.
Facial massage helps to improve circulation which brings more nutrients to the skin. It also facilitates toxin removal from the skin, improves elasticity and suppleness of the skin, and last but not least, improves tone, texture and color making your skin glow. The psychological aspects of massage are also numerous. Studies have shown that it helps to boost your immunity, provides relief from stress, pain, tensions, anxiety, and helps you to achieve health and wellness.
