Regular facial massage is a great way to support facial skin care – it has a rejuvenating, firming effect and facilitates the absorption of nutrients from cosmetics.

Of course, a youthful appearance cannot be preserved forever, but various methods have been used for centuries to delay the aging process of the skin. Currently, many people are returning to natural care treatments. One of them is a regular, properly performed facial massage, which relaxes, rejuvenates and facilitates the introduction of nutrients into the deeper layers of the skin. We offer such a service at the Cosmetology Center at Medical Clinic Podhale Art.

A good facial massage is a training of muscles responsible for skin elasticity. Regular massage gives the best results. If we stop “training” (massage), the skin will lose its firmness. It is the system, which consists of 43 to 57 individual facial muscles, that is its scaffolding. They are responsible not only for facial expressions, but also for maintaining the correct face oval and skin tension. If the facial muscles are trained, wrinkles do not appear.

It should be remembered that after the age of 25, the production of collagen and elastin, which are also responsible for skin tension, slows down. Facial massage stimulates cells that produce them, activates skin renewal mechanisms, improves microcirculation and facilitates the absorption of nutrients.

Facial massage is always worth combining with the application of care products, because it enhances the effect of cosmetics – it facilitates the absorption and transport of nutrients to the deep layers of the skin. Cosmetics also facilitate massaging, ensuring slip on the skin, and prevent irritation.

For facial massage, it is best to use products such as:

• natural cold-pressed, unrefined, 100% organic oils, e.g. jojoba, argan, almond,
• face serum, e.g. with vitamins C, E, retinol, and moisturizing hyaluronic acid,
• not too greasy face cream with a light consistency,
• based on oils, preferably with natural ingredients,fine-grained face scrub from a drugstore or self-made, e.g. based on oil and sugar.

We start the facial massage by warming up the skin – all you need is a few gentle massage movements from the bottom of the neck upwards, from the jaw line to the cheeks, and then from temple to temple through the forehead. This will stimulate the circulation enough.

The next step is the proper facial massage, i.e. pressing the appropriate areas. We start from the eyebrow arches towards the temples, which are massaged with circular movements. Then we work around the eyes – here the movements should be more delicate, reminiscent of subtle tapping of the skin. Then massage the chin, cheeks, forehead, etc.

The last stage is the relaxation phase – we calm down, calm down the skin and finish the massage. It consists in gently stroking and rubbing the skin of the face and neck – we start from the bottom of the neck and go to the forehead.

Massage is a great way to relax and calm down, e.g. after a hard day, and it also facilitates the absorption of cosmetics, such as cream or serum with vitamin C and retinol. These are the main reasons why you should perform a facial massage.
