Facial Massage Routine
Daily massage for the skin, has been proven to promote excellent circulatory benefits.
Whilst assisting to lower your heart rate, it steadily increases the body temperature, relaxes muscles and releases endorphines which are hormones.
These hormones or 'happy hormones' reduce stress levels, evokes feelings of calm and relaxation. The oils that i have recommended are cruelty-free providing slip and glide during the massage. Coupled with hand pressure, working together they synergistically provide repair and nourishment for the skin's epidermal outer protective layer.
During this Pandemic we need to protect the skin from the harsh winter elements, environmental damage, central heating, anxiety and the continual wearing of facemasks.
Facial massage at night also helps to promote sleep, soothing tension in the neck and facial muscles. By design the sensory action of touch, reduces stress, and relaxes muscle tightness. This ancient technique can also provide some mild pain relief, especially for headaches, as it works to stimulate the intricate nervous system.
There are lots of ancient systems, techniques and methods used to deliver great massages and I trust you will enjoy my simple movements by following my daily massage tips below.
How to Massage for Relaxation
The slow movements have been chosen as a beginners guide for your facial journey. Apply your plant based oils, warming in the hand to begin your daily therapy. Massage the skin gently for 2 minutes, using light to medium pressure, not too firm as this will bruise the delicate skin.
During Winter the harsh elements play havoc with our skin, by performing a regular facial massage we can begin to combat any additional breakouts, fine lines of dehydration or excessive sedum and oil production. These skin conditions are being caused by wearing our facial coverings and fabric masks on a daily basis. Leading Dermatologists are now using the phrase Mask Acne or 'Maskne' and recommending facials and treatments to aid this problem.
When can I massage?
The best time to massage is after double cleansing, and mask application, only perform your massage movements on clean skin.
Daytime is good but adding to your Night-time routine is perfect for that extra boost of relaxation and nourishment. Include these massage movements into part of your daily skincare routine for increased anti-age benefits, radiance and beautiful skin health.
