5 Reasons Why You Should Try Facial Massage
The best thing I have introduced into my self-care routine this year has been facial massage. If you can gift yourself an Aromatherapy Facial Massage or even 10 mins to do it yourself at home, you can expect to feel some of the following benefits...
1. Stimulates circulation and blood flow - Facial massage can help brighten your complexion and support skin health by boosting the supply of fresh oxygen to skin cells, giving you that natural ‘glow’
2. Effective application of skincare products – Massaging your face with your chosen skincare product, such as a face oil, helps to absorb it deep into the layers of skin where it can work is magic
3. Reduces puffiness – Along with increasing blood flow, facial massage helps to support lymphatic drainage. This can reduce puffiness, particularly around the eye area and support skin health by draining cellular waste away
4. Sinus relief – Do you ever experience discomfort around your sinus area when you have a cold or hay fever? Massaging your whole facial area, as well as the sinus track will help relieve pressure, making breathing more easeful
5. Deep relaxation and tension relief – Anger, worry and stress can be held and seen on the face when things get too much. This is part of the role of facial muscles – to communicate emotions, but the effects can often hang around causing headaches and jaw tension. Gently massaging the muscles will help to let go of that tension and sooth your nervous system
The best bit – you don’t need to see a professional to feel the benefits and you can do it with any product, such as a homemade organic facial oil. Join my next Aromatherapy Workshop at Cabilla Cornwall on Saturday 18th November 2023, to learn how to make your own and discover how aromatherapy can naturally enhance your wellbeing.
