Facial Massage
India, and ancient Egypt have long held an anti-aging weapon which has recently entered the spotlight in our western world... Facial massage! A series of hand manipulation techniques has been practiced for more than 1,000 years in the East to maintain facial health and beauty. Facial massage is one of the most pleasurable aspects of topical facial treatments; however, it is about more than just feeling good. When treated regularly, facial massage can have a very favorable effect on our overall well being and appearance.
Facial Cupping Traditional and contemporary body cupping and facial cupping are both based on similar principles but the method by which they are performed and their purposes are vastly different. Suction created by facial cups improves blood flow to the skin layers, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients. One study showed that this process is also facilitated by the involvement of nitric oxide. Collagen fibers are responsible for skin toughness, flexibility, and youthfulness. Facial cupping can stimulate collagen production thus facilitating skin repair. Facial cupping, especially when combined with massage, can improve skin tightness.
Benefits may include:
~ Releases tension of facial muscles
~ Tones facial muscles and skin
~ Improves overall complexion
~ Aides in the relief from tension headaches and eyestrain
~ Reduces facial dullness
~ Reduces sagging
~ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
~ Brings about a sense of well-being
