Combat Stress But Also Increase Well Being By Way Of A Relaxing Facial Massage

Your face is very similar to the rest of your body

, but when most people consider massage therapy to improve their health and relaxation, they don't include facial massages in their plan. Facial massage therapy helps relieve tension and provide relaxation just as other techniques do to the rest of your body. You need to replenish energy to your face, just as you do to your body and facial massage therapy accomplishes that by increasing your circulation. When you sleep, less blood flows to the face, which leaves your skin looking puffy and pale in the morning. A facial massage is the perfect solution to jump-start your blood flow and return your face to its healthy glow.

Facial massage therapy - if done on a regular basis - is touted by many for its effectiveness in reversing the effects of aging by tightening and lifting the muscles in your face, resulting in more youthful looking skin. It also helps to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging, making it even more popular. Facial massage therapy also helps to exfoliate the skin by removing the dead skin cells and dirt that give your face a dull appearance.

Facial massage sessions typically last no longer than 20 minutes. If it is administered for longer than that, the muscles can be stretched instead of tightened. Irritation can occur in people with sensitive skin, so your massage therapist will carefully inspect your face prior to beginning your facial massage in order to determine the proper pressure and technique to use. The use of massage oils or lotions helps to lubricate the face and reduce friction from the massage procedure, so your therapist will also need to determine whether your skin has the tendency to be oily or dry.

Facial massage therapy is not only known for its circulatory and anti-aging benefits ... it also moisturizes the skin, improves your skin's tone and texture, and lessens any redness or sensitivity you may be experiencing. Anyone who suffers from breakouts and blemishes can find relief with regular facial massage therapy as well.

When beginning your facial massage session, your therapist will scrub and cleanse the skin (which is called exfoliation) to insure a completely clean surface, free of makeup and contaminants. He/she will then continue the session by applying massage creams or lotions to reduce friction during the actual massage.

When thoroughly lubricated, your therapist will complete your facial massage by the use of gentle, soothing strokes on various areas of your face to achieve the most benefit.

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

*Massaging the forehead and nose areas reduces the appearance

of horizontal lines.

*Pores are unclogged and blemishes reduced by targeting the

nostrils.

*Massaging the area around the cheeks and mouth can prevent

wrinkles and sagging muscles.

*Bags under your eyes are eliminated by targeting the area around

the eyes.

*Muscle tone is increased - and sagging skin reduced - by

massaging the chin and neck.

*Massaging the ears stimulates other parts of the body.

So remember ... whenever you feel a certain amount of stress from everyday life or your body starts to ache, and you feel like you could use a good massage, think about your face. Just like in your body, stress and fatigue can show up in your face; the best remedy is a facial massage to take the stress out of your face and make you feel like a brand new person.
