The significance in a facial massage

So, you want a facial but you are not quite sure of the significance of the massage part??? Well, it is very simple and makes a huge difference.

Massaging the face softens expression-induced lines around your eyes, lips and brows. Smoothing those tense muscles that we constantly use on a daily basis during expressions or conversation, can have a tremendous impact of keeping your skin looking healthy and younger. A repetition of relaxing them through massage methods can lift, tighten and firm in order to keep the elasticity (firmness) in your skin!

It also helps lift up acne-causing toxins,oils and impurities which usually lie way beneath the top layer/surface of your skin. Sebum is the name of oil that builds up underneath the top layer of skin and too much of it,lying dormant, can cause clogged pores which causes break-outs and acne. If stimulated and lifted during a facial massage, one can avoid the excessive build up which in turn can reduce acne.

Facial massages can also reduce puffiness and brighten the eye area.If done correctly, you are able to have your lymph nodes drained in order for puffiness to be reduced in the face. The ones in certain parts of your face can become enlarged or inflamed, especially during allergy season as a reaction to the allergens. So, many do not know this about fluid build up in the skin and face. Naturally, you would not know that it can reduce overall puffiness in the face.

Another benefit is that it  increases circulation, oxygenating the blood and encouraging the presence of fresh, healing red blood cells. With these new cells, your whole entire appearance of skin could improve entirely just from having regular stimulation to skin through a facial.

In summary, most think that facial massages are solely for relaxation. However, it can improve many aspects of your skin health!

Happy massaging and remember to not leave this significant portion of the facial out! 🙂

Choosing the right skin care for you!

Choosing the right skin care for you!

Looking for a quick fix to erase wrinkles, tighten skin, reduce the signs of aging or treat acne could be as easy as a trip down to the local drug store. However, with so many over-the-counter products available, the beauty aisle can be overwhelming. Some skin care products are overpriced and make claims they can’t support. Other products that claim to “take years off your face” could be misleading and ineffective.
Over-the-counter products for skin rejuvenation and preservation can be very effective if the consumer knows what to look for. It’s best to research the product and its ingredients to find the products that work best for your specific skin type. The most expensive products are not always the right products for certain skin types.
Use the following tips when searching for an over-the-counter product:

Do’s…
Do know your skin type: Before purchasing over-the-counter skin care products there are some basic facts to know. Whether skin is dry, oily or sensitive could greatly impact how the product interacts with your skin.

Do create a daily skin care routine: The key to success with most skin care products is repetition. Establishing a daily routine is important, especially with anti-aging creams. Don’t be discouraged, it may be six to eight weeks before seeing improvements with over-the-counter remedies.

Do be cautious of “miracle” products: Skin care products that seem “too good to be true” probably are, so use your best judgment. Reputable product lines are the best bet and likely to be most effective and safe.

Don’ts…
Don’t buy products without doing research: When purchasing products read the labels to find the active ingredients. If there are ingredients that are unfamiliar, look them up to find out how they work. For example, products claiming to contain Botox could be deceptive as Botox is only effective when injected directly into the underlying muscle.

Don’t forget to use products that contain sunscreen: Protecting skin from the harsh sun is important. Choosing beauty moisturizers and creams that contain at least SPF 30 is crucial and will help to maintain youthful looking skin.

Don’t hesitate to ask a skin care specialist/esthetician: If any doubts remain about the most appropriate skin care product, or an over-the-counter product is not getting the job done, consult an esthetician for help.

Get ready for Spring! Moisturization

Spring is in the air and so is a lot of allergens,pollen and harmful substances. So, what does that mean to you and your skin??? It means that extra steps and precaution will have to be taken to protect it from clogged pores and break outs. Most think that since their skin has oil build up or normally does not break out, they are immune from it. But, the fact is that at any time or any stage of your life, you may be prone to a skin break out. It may start off minor and end up disasterous! Nevertheless, we have to be aware of ways to prevent it from occurring and keep our skin clear. It is also important to moisturizer to keep skin looking and hydrated.

The best way to do so is to consider the ingredients in the moisturizer. Some studies have shown that moisturizers that have parabens, an ingredient meant to preserve, can actually contribute to causing cancer.

We must,also, avoid using ones that have artificial fragrances which will contribute to skin drying out,defeating the purpose. Try looking for fragrance and oil free kinds which usually have “noncomegenic” (does not clog pores). It is great to have a water based moisturizer,which will show water being the first ingredient listed.

Choosing one with a sunscreen will also benefit. The sunscreen should have at least a SPF 30 or greater to effectively protect skin from harmful UV rays. In addressing the fact the skin may feel oily and a moisturizer is not needed- if you continue to leave out moisture, the oil glands will try to compensate for what is lost and overproduce more oil,which causes the appearance of shine and oil. Whichever you decide upon, make sure that you are protected and hydrated as it adds on to healthy radiant skin!

Last but not least, drink tons of water so it will help hydrate as we embark a great spring and summer!

Remember to beauty begins within,
