“Some physicians suggest that stress may be responsible for 75% of all diseases in the Western world, including skin diseases )e.g., psoriasis and eczema), headaches and migraine, digestive disorders, high blood pressure and heart-related diseases, as well as backache and muscle pain, poor eyesight and depression… solution is to find ways to manage the stresses… one way is the use of massage therapy.” -Stretch Dowse, MD, Eminent Victorian Physician, 1887

Aside from getting the greatest deep cleansing and exfoliation your skin could ask for, the best thing about getting a facial is the Facial Massage. When performed correctly, massage can provide a wealth of benefits for your health and skin.

Specifically, facial massage:

  • Stimulates circulation
  • Detoxifies
  • Stimulates sebaceous production
  • Relaxes the nerves
  • Releases toxins trapped between the tissues and muscles
  • Oxygenates skin tissues
  • Provides physiological and psychological benefits
  • Aids in the extraction process
  • Hydrates by bringing nutrients to the surface layer of the skin
  • Increases lymphatic flow
  • Eases muscle tension

Phew! Did you get all that?!
