It’s 2018, and by now you’ve probably heard of a facial massage, but what is it? It’s exactly what it sounds like, but don’t worry, far more gentle than the back massages your “masseuse” of a friend tries to give you.
Why should you do facial massages?
Benefits of facial massages range from increased blood flow to a natural facelift. We’ve put them all together so you don’t have to wonder!
Relieves Tension
Tense muscles are more likely to harbor wrinkles, so those in your face need to be worked out and relaxed regularly. All it takes is 1 to 2 minutes a day to relax the stressed, tired muscles in your face.
Increases Circulation
Same as if you were massaging a sore shoulder or body muscle; gently massage the soft lines around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. This also helps your lymph nodes drain the toxins out of your body.
At-Home Facelift
Instantly look younger! Regular face massages mean oxygen and the more oxygen to the skin means better collagen production. Massaging motions increase blood circulation to the areas of the face and neck, which in turn bring oxygen to the skin as well.
Skin Products Absorb Better
After you’ve cleansed your skin, apply serums in light, tapping motions using your fingertips. When applying moisturizer, warm between palms of the hands and press into the skin. Applying your regime this way helps them to absorb into your skin better.
