Benefits of Facial Massage

Massage is a critical component of any facial.  The importance of this is often overlooked by skin care professionals who focus instead on product application and sales of products.  My early training focused on the importance of massaging the skin and the instant results of this on your face.  My facials are usually longer than the hour needed for a treatment because I spend alot of time massaging the skin.  A well-performed massage, as part of a facial, will affect the entire result of the service.  It will make extractions easier, which is a huge help, relieve puffiness, and improve skin tone and complexion.  Other physical benefits of a facial massage include stimulation, firming of weak muscles, tissue regeneration and anti aging effects.   There are many mental health benefits including stress relief and awareness of the body/mind connection.  It is not uncommon for my clients to drift into oblivion while having a facial.
