Why does a facial include a massage? It provides so many more benefits to the skin than just a relaxing, feel good experience.

Benefits to Facial Massage...
While facial massage is a pleasurable experience of any facial, there are so many more benefits then just feeling good. It can improve many skin conditions, facial massage manipulations are designed to increase blood flow and cellular oxygenation. It stimulates a wound healing response in the skin to provide a healthy glow. Acne, rosacea and other inflammed skin conditions can benefit greatly from massage because they are wounds to the skin and massage encourages the healing process.
Our skin's circulation decreases with age leading to a dull appearance, massage enhances circulation and plumps up the skin to provide a more youthful appearance.

Massage should be incorporated into a facial after exfoliation and the steaming process as the skin absorbs more moisture and nutrients after this step. Massage products come in a variety of consistency, creams, oils, lotions or gels. Diffferent skin types benefit from different products. Dry skin from a cream or oil to add hydration into the skin. Acne skin from a gel to help absorb excess oil. Usually a light lotion for most skin types so not to leave excess residue. Facial massage should not last longer than 10 minutes. Call and reserve your appointment today so your skin will get all the good benefits that come from facial massage.
