How does it work and what does a face massage do?

On the face, as on other parts of the body, there are muscles, skin and blood vessels located in it. In the case of muscles located in other parts of the body, massage and exercise have great relaxing and silhouette modelling effects, provided they are performed in an appropriate manner and regularly. So why shouldn't a face massage have similar effects? Regular kneading, lowering and bending of the face in a way recommended by experts gives extraordinary effects rejuvenating and improving the condition of the face skin. With age, the production of collagen in the skin decreases, which results in its sagging and the formation of wrinkles and so-called crow's feet. Facial massage stimulates the deep layers of the skin, including the muscles underneath, which visibly helps to improve the facial oval and firm the skin. The skin of the face, just like the skin on other parts of the body, also contains blood vessels. Skillfully performed facial massage stimulates blood circulation in this area, which automatically results in oxygenation of the skin and improves its condition. Daily performed (alone or in a massage parlor) facial massage not only helps to oxygenate and nourish the skin of the face, but also supports and strengthens not used too often facial muscles and - thanks to the improvement of skin blood supply - removes lymphatic stagnation and toxins formed in the processes of metabolism and due to the exposure of the face skin to adverse environmental factors (for example, air pollution). Facial massage is also a serious injection of energy for the skin, which will stimulate it to increase production of collagen and elastin.
