The world of beauty and health never runs short when
it comes to products and services. The options may
be plenty, but in this article we will focus on
facial massage.
A facial massage can be a confusing topic. This is
because some people think it’s the best thing in the
world, while some people think it’s simply a waste
of time and money. Let me be the first to say that
this article does not intend to take sides. Rather,
this article is aimed at giving you the pros and
cons of facial massage. It is up to you to decide if
it’s the right thing for you.
Quick Overview
Your face is full of pleasure points and nerves.
This can be both a good or bad thing. For one,
pampering the facial skin and muscles can be very
relaxing and stimulating. On the other hand, you may
cause damage to the skin and may hurt your facial
appearance.
For quick facial massages, it’s safe to do it on
your own; just as long you know what you are doing.
If you want a longer massage, like 30 minutes to an
hour, you may want to hire the services of a
professional. Also, make sure that he or she knows
what she is doing.
Advantages of Facial Massage
* Biter Mood -
Since the face has high amounts of nerve endings and
pleasure points, a good facial massage can be a
soothing experience; which can lead to the reduction
of negative moods and anxiety levels. In terms of
psychological effects, study shows that a good
facial massage can help in lowering the cortisol
levels, a stress hormone that you would want to
minimize.
* Wrinkle Prevention -
stress can lead to the build-up of tension in the
facial muscles. As a result, lines and furrow may
start appearing in the ears of the lips and browse
sooner than that you might expect. A gentle massage
on the face can help in releasing the tensions and
tightness in the skin and muscles of your face. As a
result, it can help in delaying the visible
appearance of furrows and lines. Beauticians are
also quick to suggest that a facial massage paired
with a good hydrating moisturizer can help with the
dryness and may even help in remove some of the
facial wrinkles.
* Curb Congestion -
the nasal and sinus cavity is often subject to
congestion. A good facial massage can help eliminate
these congestions. When mucus starts to building
into the sinus and nasal cavity, it may lead to
headaches, puffiness, pressure and difficulty of
breathing through the nose. A gentle massage can
help in the mobilizing mucus and improving drainage,
which will lead to congestion relief. For best
results, you can do steam inhalation before the
facial massage. If the congestion does no improve
after steam inhalation and facial massage, you might
want to consult with a doctor as you may be
experiencing a more serious condition, like an
infection.
* Detox -
your face has a lot of lymphatic vessels, especially
in the areas of the jaw line and chin. These
lymphatic vessels contain lymph, which is a clear
fluid. The lymphatic system's job is to transport
toxins from the body, into the lymph nodes for
filtering and finally dumped into the blood stream
so the body can eliminate it from your system. What
makes lymphatic system different is that doesn’t
have a heart or muscles to keep the lymph fluid
moving. It needs muscle movement to move things
along. In this case, a good massage can help move
the process. A good facial massage can help
facilitate the movement of the lymph fluid.
Ultimately, a facial massage can help in the
detoxifying of your body.
Disadvantage of Facial Massage
Right off the bat, this article is going to state
that there are only a few disadvantages of facial
massage. A massage is proven to be good for you as
it can increase blood circulation and it’s a
relaxing activity. However, there are a few things
that you need to know about facial massage before
you jump into it.
* Lack Of Knowledge -
one downside of facial massage is the lack of
knowledge. It may be that you lack the proper
knowledge when it comes massaging your face. Or, the
"professional" that is massaging your face is not
yet experienced in facial massage. This can be
potentially dangerous as it can do more harm than
good. As mentioned before, the skin and muscles in
the face are much more sensitive. If the facial
massage is too strong, especially when there is a
lot of stretching being done, this could place a lot
of stress to the muscles and skin. Ultimately, this
could lead to the early appearance of wrinkles and
fine lines.
* Lack Of Skill -
another downside is the lack of skill. A
professional may be experienced in massaging the
body, but the face is entirely a different story.
Expertise in body massage does not equate to
expertise in facial massage. There are certain areas
in the face that must be massaged with firmness,
while other areas are massaged with gentleness. If
there is professional does not have the adequate
skill and/or technique in massaging your face, then
there is a possibility that it may also lead to the
early onset of fine lines and wrinkles.
* It's A Waste -
there are a lot of people that believe that facial
massages are simply a waste of money and effort.
This is because the face is just a small part of the
body. Ultimately, it all boils down to efficiency -
meaning, you would rather spend your efforts on
other parts of the body that will result to greater
impact in terms of health and wellness.
* Costs Money -
if you really want to avoid the dangers of facial
massage, then you might want a skilled and
experienced professional do the job. On the
downside, there are only a few professional who
specializes in facial massages. Since there are only
a few in Singapore, the prices tend to be expensive.
If you are willing to pay for such kind of services,
some would say that you better spend your money on
something that has more impact.
The face has a lot of nerve endings and pleasure
points, a good facial massage can bring a lot of
advantages such as better mood, wrinkle prevention,
and curb congestion and detox. On the other hand,
some would say that facial massage it’s not worth
it. The naysayers often claim that facial massage is
dangerous because it may damage your facial skin and
muscles due to lack of skill and knowledge. Also,
it's an efficient way of spending your efforts and
money.
