Magic of Massage

Ageing is a natural process where our skin looses it elasticity along with the elasticity of the muscles. The more blood flow increases in our muscles the more lively and fresh it becomes. So apart from hydrating and replenishing our skin, methods to revive our muscles play an important role in anti-ageing. Even though there are other invasive and medical ways, massaging is an easily doable and equally effective method to do so.

The draw back of massage is that if you do the massage in the wrong manner, it will even effect the shape of your face and body. Points to remember, before any massage.

1. Tools are not compulsory:

  There are many tools in the market called Marble rollers, 3D Y shaped facial roller etc. these equipment make the massage a little better than hand massages. The technique of doing it is the key to its effectiveness. From my personal experience, I would recommend 3D Y shaped face massager as it has a pulling effect and can visibly see the effect of the increased blood flow to the read. 

2. Time:

You don't have to invest hours of massage routine into your daily life. Just a 5 minute massage a day or 10 repetation of each massage motions are enough rejuvenise your muscles.

3. Lubricants:

Never do your massage on your bare skin as it tends to irritate your skin because of the friction. The best lubricant for the massage is the serums you use ,as massage helps in deep absorption of your serum or moisturising cream/gel, depending on your skin type. 

4. Consistency:

Consistency , like any other beauty routine, is compulsory for amazing results. Constant rejuvenation of your muscles will keep them lively and fresh and young fighting the natural ageing process. Asian households have massages as a daily routine since their youth because of which they have amazing skin quality and remain young for a longer period of time.

5.Techniques:

The motions to be made for facial massage is always, down to up and centre to out. This will help the blood slow in that direction giving you a natural facial lift.
