The technique of performing a classic facial massage

Massage is not only very pleasant, but also very useful procedure. Today, there are several ways to carry out such a procedure. The article will discuss the technique of performing a classic facial massage.

With the help of classical massage, you can slow down the development of age-related changes. Such prevention helps to cope with the appearance of early wrinkles. It is possible to carry out classical massage even at a young age.

Classic massage can also be used for women of mature age. This procedure will help slow the development of age-related changes in the face. And also after a course of classical massage, the depth of expression wrinkles, which appear on the skin with age, decreases. Using this method, it is possible to improve the tone and elasticity of the skin, since during the massage, not only superficial, but also deep zones are treated.

Before proceeding to the description of the technique for conducting a classic facial massage, it should be noted that the skin must be thoroughly treated before it is carried out. The procedure can be carried out only after the skin has been cleansed. To do this, you need to wash yourself well with warm water. If there are any cosmetics left on the skin, then they should be thoroughly washed off. After that, a cream or oil must be applied to the skin.

There are several options for classical massage. One of the universal methods of facial treatment is the method according to Akhabadze. Interestingly, this type of massage is performed in beauty salons and massage parlors. Excellent results can be achieved through this procedure. After a course of massage, the skin becomes radiant, and its tone improves.

It is not difficult to learn how to carry out classical massage according to the Akhabadze method. To do this, you just need to perform sequentially several stages, replacing each other. The multiplicity of this procedure is selected from what goal you want to achieve. So, if a face massage is performed to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and other age-related changes, then in this case it should be performed 1-2 times a week. In the case of a massage to reduce existing changes, it can be performed up to five times in 7 days.

In order to obtain the desired result, the classical massage procedure should be carried out correctly, observing the technique. So, the whole range of activities can be divided into several stages.

The first stage involves processing the surface areas of the face. And also during this stage, a kind of preparation of anatomical units deeply located under the skin (blood vessels, muscles) for further work occurs.

Stroking should be done confidently, but without strong pressure. Press on the skin little by little, as if stroking them.

Treat areas of the face along the massage lines. They are arranged as follows:

• from the mouth to the earlobes;
• from the corners of the eyelids outward (to the scalp);
• from the lower part of the face (chin) to the ears;
• from the center of the forehead to the temporal lobes.

Experts in classical massage recommend starting the procedure with the treatment of the neck area. After the treatment of this area, the chin and the area around the mouth are treated. Movements should be performed with both hands. In this case, the treatment of the zone will be done better and somewhat deeper.

After treating the lower and middle parts of the face, the periorbital area (the area around the eyes) should be treated. This anatomical area should be massaged gently. Excessive treatment can lead to excessive stretch of the delicate skin around the eyes. During the treatment of this area, the fingers "draw" a figure eight on the skin. The treatment of the periorbital zone should be started from the outer corner of the eye.

The first stage of the classic facial massage ends with the treatment of the forehead area. To do this, stroke the forehead with stroking movements. It is better to do this sequentially, first with one and then with the other hand. After that, the first stage of the massage can be considered complete.

At this stage, you need to massage your face with your fingertips. During this stage, deeper processing takes place. When rubbing, special attention should be paid to areas that are subject to age-related deformation - for example, the chin and neck area. Rubbing is also carried out along the massage lines starting from the chin.

Each part of the face is worked out sequentially. So, rubbing is carried out from the lower part of the neck and ends with the forehead. During the rubbing, the fingertips make a circular motion. The forehead area can be additionally processed with tapping movements. If mimic wrinkles have already appeared in this area, then it should be massaged quite effectively.

The next stage involves a deeper study of the muscles. At this stage, the muscles of the face and neck are treated along the massage lines. All movements should be carried out in waves. In this case, you should also start from the bottom of the neck and move up.This area can also be treated with a pinching motion. Particular attention should be paid to the processing of the face oval.

During this stage, collagen fibers and blood vessels are affected. Muscles are processed in the same way. In order to treat the deep layers of the skin well, you need to carefully capture the skin fold. To do this, with your fingers you need to grab not only the skin, but also the subcutaneous tissue, which is located under it. Only such a rather deep study helps to achieve the result.

Each procedure, even one that is carried out at home, has a number of limitations. In the presence of certain contraindications, the classical facial massage should be abandoned. You should not start a course of such procedures when:

• high temperature due to various infectious pathologies;
• the presence of various lesions on the skin;
• herpetic eruptions on the face.

Many women note that after a course of classical facial massage, they saw how the skin became more taut and elastic. Some of the fair sex say that after this procedure, the severity of age-related skin changes has decreased.

Unfortunately, classical facial massage does not always help to completely get rid of mimic wrinkles. If such age-related changes are quite profound, then in this case, this procedure may not help. Some women in their reviews note that even after several courses of classic facial massage, they had to resort to invasive cosmetic procedures in order to improve the appearance of the skin and get rid of wrinkles.

Some women complain that at home, after carrying out a classical massage, they, in general, did not manage to achieve the desired result. In order to improve the appearance of the skin, they were forced to see a specialist.

However, experts in classical facial massage assure that you can learn how to carry out this procedure. Only for this you need to be patient enough. They also recommend that you watch a video instruction on how to perform it before performing a classic facial massage at home. This will help avoid the mistakes that many beginners face.
