Natural Lift Facial Massage
A much cheaper and less invasive alternative to botox! As effective? Maybe not instantly but with a course of treatments very definite results can be seen and these results are not only limited to the face but benefit the body and mind at the same time. Sound too good to be true? Well, not really. Natural Lift Facial Massage is actually a combination of ancient techniques that have derived from the East and more recent techniques from the West. It incorporates acupressure, reflexology, and massage and is based on the principles that there are meridians which run throughout the body and are also mapped out on your face. By gently stimulating the reflexology and acupressure points on your face you are in fact treating the whole body.
From a more scientific stance, understand it this way, whilst we may not imagine our faces as particularly muscular, there are ten groups of muscles which are responsible for holding everything together and cause the expressions which enable us to smile and frown. We also hold a lot of tension in our face and it is not the first place that we think of when having a massage. Because there are areas of tension and because they don’t get treated, the blood flow can become blocked and the cells aren’t fed or replenished often enough and so instead become stagnant allowing toxins and debris to build up. This in turn can dull our complexion. The muscle tone can become slack, lines appear and the skin can become congested. For women who spend a lot of time cleansing, moisturising, toning, applying and removing makeup, their skin can look brighter and more refreshed simply because they are in essence, massaging and stimulating their face twice a day.
Having a facial massage goes further than that, by having a treatment, the client can relax for up to an hour with nothing expected of them except to relax and concentrate on their breathing. The therapist will then perform the different stages of the treatment. After initially relaxing and warming up the muscles on the shoulders, neck, shoulders, scalp and face, they then proceed to do smoothing and lifting techniques which help release the pent up tension in the muscle fibres and release the toxins enabling them to then be flushed out via the lymphatic system. So go on, give it a go!
