Combat Stress And Combat Pain With A Fun, Relaxing Facial Massage Therapy

When you stop to consider your options for massage therapy

, do you think about the importance of a facial massage? Most people don't ... but they should, because when it comes down to it, your face is not unlike the rest of your body, in that massage therapy can provide relaxation and relieve tension. Just as you restore energy to your body, you need to do the same thing to your face, and facial massage accomplishes that by increasing your circulation. When you awaken in the morning, your face probably looks paler and puffier due to the lessened blood flow that occurs as you sleep. Why not return your face to its healthy glow with a nourishing facial massage?

If administered on a regular basis, facial massage therapy tightens and lifts the facial muscles, which helps to reverse the signs of aging. Adding to its popularity is its ability to reduce the wrinkles and fine lines we experience as we age. You face can look dull as a result of the existence of dirt and dead skin cells; facial massage therapy helps to exfoliate the skin and restore its luster.

A facial massage session usually lasts only about 20 minutes, because if administered for longer than that, the muscles in the face can be stretched. This is especially true for people with sensitive skin, which is prone to damage or irritation if too much pressure is used during the facial massage. Because different skin types require different types of lubricants, your massage therapist will examine your skin prior your facial massage to determine what type is best for you. Clients who have very oil skin may not require the use of oils or lubricants at all.

In addition to increasing circulation and fighting the signs of the aging process, facial massage therapy also improves the texture and tone of your skin, while moisturizing it and eliminating any appearance of redness. The occurrence rate of blemishes and breakout can also be reduced via facial massage therapy.

The first step in your facial massage is the exfoliation process, which is done by cleansing and scrubbing the skin, followed by the application of massage lotion or oil (if needed). Whatever lubricant is used will be absorbed into the skin during the massage session, and your therapist will softly manipulate the various areas of your face for a different result.

Let's talk about the various benefits that are provided by the different areas of the face during your facial massage.

* Forehead and nose: reduces the appearance of horizontal lines; * Nostrils: unclogs pores and prevents blemishes; * Mouth and cheeks: helps prevent wrinkles and sagging of the muscles in your face; * Area around the eyes: reduces the appearance of wrinkles and bags under the eyes; * Chin and neck: promotes muscle tone and prevents sagging skin; * Ears: pressure points are massaged that stimulate other areas of the body.

Let's face it ... these days are filled with stress, tension and fatigue for many of us. And the effect of that pressure doesn't only affect our bodies, but our faces as well. Why not treat your face to the benefits of a relaxing, rejuvenating facial massage?
