Tell you about self-massage of face, about the techniques that will give it a fresh and more healthy hue.
Sloppy and hard massage only hurt the skin, so to bring the benefit to massage your face should be very cautious, easily touching the skin. In order to avoid negative consequences for the skin, is to abandon its tightening, stretch, and certainly not worth wag and commit similar acts with the skin.
This massage is very desirable to use the cream. Apart from the fact that the cream has an additional beneficial effect on the skin (depending on its properties), it still helps the hands to glide easily across the face, which makes the procedure even safer for your skin. I do not think it is worth reminding that the massage is carried out only with clean hands.
And finally, I want to say that everything is fine in moderation. Not recommended for facial massage very often, once a day is more than enough. Facial massage is recommended to do after twenty-five years, at an earlier age young skin does not need it.
Preparing to face massage

- From the nose to the tip of the nose;
- From “back” of the nose to the ears;

We draw your attention to the fact that you do not always do all the exercises, the program can be reduced to those exercises in which you deem necessary.
Here is an example of one of the techniques of facial massage.
All movements should be done in three stages. The first phase – a light effleurage, which holds the fingers folded together (excluding big and little finger), in the second stage will be severely pressed, resembling applause, in the third – vibrating dvizheniya.Esli will require some deviations from this norm, this will be written below .

Motion carried on the contours of your face to the ear lobe, as suggested in the method, light Tapping movements. Following the same motion should be repeated, starting from a point in the middle under the lower lip and finishing around the ear lobe.
Before you go massage cheeks, you need to make about a dozen effleurage middle and ring fingers of the upper lip.
Cheeks
Let us now turn cheeks. To start a hand-to-face follows: thumbs should be on the side of the lower jaw pads next three fingers in the middle of the nose. Massage itself is stroking the cheeks, which passes through the zygomatic arch toward the ears.
Another motion to massage the cheeks. Put your hands so that little fingers were near the corners of the mouth, and make progressive, continuous movement of the middle ears (also in three stages according to the procedure).
Eyes

Contraindications to massage
With every desire should abandon massage, if there are any contraindications to it. If the skin of your face is damaged and susceptible to disease, allergies, if it a large number of ulcers – then the massage is definitely abandoned. In all other cases – if for any reason, the skin condition is different from normal – a massage is better to wait until the normalization of the situation.
Another case where it is not recommended to massage: if your body as a whole is in serious condition. Massage in such a situation can hardly be useful.
Sometimes it does have to give a massage, when there’s idiosyncrasy to this type of therapy.
