FACIAL MASSAGE

Just as we do sport to tone our bodies, facial massages should be done in the same way as a sport, as they really help us maintain our facial structure. If we add facial exercises,  we will get much firmer cheeks and eyelids and our face will keep its shape as we age.  

All beauty treatments focussed on anti-ageing or deep skin stimulation should always include a facial massage.

Facial massages are usually accompanied by creams, concentrates and different types of cosmetic products.

5 BENEFITS OF FACIAL MASSAGE

Regardless of the fact that every massage type or technique has its own specific function, deep, gentle stroking of the face and neck is very positive in itself in several ways:

• 
  The stimulation of blood circulation favours production of fibres that support the skin, somewhat slowing down ageing, and it also refreshes the skin and is very good for keeping it healthy and working properly.
  
• 
  It lends elasticity.
  
• 
  It decreases facial tension.
  
• 
  It improves the appearance of bags under eyes.
  
• 
  It provides a major sensation of wellbeing that favours personal balance and health.
