Face massage can improve your skin condition and rejuvenate your face in various ways. Its benefits include:
- Plumps the skin
- Encourages cell renewal
- Stimulates blood flow to the face, improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.
- Removes dead skin cells, brightening the appearance of the skin.
- Improves skin suppleness by promoting the production of collagen.
- Improves lymphatic drainage, which can reduce puffiness and speed up removal of waste products.
- The release of tension from the face muscles eases frown and other lines. It also helps with overall relaxation and clients often have the treatment for its relaxing effects, rather than skin benefits.
- Can improve sinus drainage, leading to reduced pressure and fewer sinus headaches.
The massage includes smoothing, lifting and stimulating massage stroke patterns. As well as having beneficial effects for the skin, the treatment is very relaxing.
The price for 30 minutes face massage is £24, but is reduced to £14 if you add it to another treatment.
How often should you get a face massage?
For best results, you should have face massage regularly – ideally weekly or fortnightly, but at least every 4 weeks.
Can face massage reduce wrinkles?
The effectiveness on wrinkles varies from person to person and depends on the frequency of treatment. Stimulation of blood and lymph circulation by face massage will help to plump up the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you hold tension in your face, for example frowning or clenching your teeth, then regular face massage is likely to make a noticeable difference to lines as your face becomes more relaxed.
Benefits of raspberry seed oil
I use raspberry seed oil for face massage, which is a lightweight oil packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. It is known for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. Skincare benefits include:
- Antioxidants Raspberry seed oil is rich in antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin A, and ellagic acid, which help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants and UV radiation. This antioxidant protection helps prevent premature aging, including the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
- Moisturizing and Hydrating: The high content of essential fatty acids in raspberry seed oil, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier. This keeps the skin hydrated, soft, and supple, making it particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin types.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: Raspberry seed oil contains alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and alleviate symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Regular application of raspberry seed oil can help calm and balance the skin, promoting a healthier complexion.
- Skin Brightening: The presence of vitamin A and ellagic acid in raspberry seed oil contributes to its skin-brightening properties. Regular use can help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a more radiant and luminous complexion.
- Non-comedogenic: Raspberry seed oil is lightweight and non-greasy, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. It absorbs quickly into the skin without clogging pores, providing nourishment and hydration without causing breakouts.
Book a face massage
You can book a face massage on its own, or combined with any other treatment (£10 discount for booking with another treatment). Popular choices are to combine it with back and shoulder massage or with hot stones massage.
