Honey facial massage - the procedure is not just cosmetic, but rather, general health. The fact is that our face - by analogy with a hand or ear brush - is a kind of "holographic" cast that reflects all the organs and systems of the human body. It is believed that the lungs are displayed on the cheeks, the small intestine - on the forehead, the genitourinary system - on the chin, the heart - on the tip of the nose. Massaging these parts of the face has a beneficial effect on the relevant organs.
The mechanism of honey massage is as follows. Biologically active substances contained in honey, penetrate deep into and begin to affect the numerous nerve receptors located in different layers of the skin. These receptors are associated with the vegetative system and internal organs, and thus a chain of complex reflex reactions is triggered.
As a result, blood supply in the deep layers of the skin improves dramatically, and nutrition of internal organs and tissues also improves. Biologically active substances contribute to the early elimination of toxins, improves lymph flow, increases the overall tone of the body. The skin after the honey massage is cleared and becomes more elastic and smooth.
The main secret of the success of honey massage is the use of biologically active honey honey, rather than the store honey, packaged in cans. The fact is that in honeycombs, closed with wax lids, honey can be stored for years, without losing biological activity and healing properties. Before the procedure of honey massage, the honeycombs are cut off with a sharpened knife, and then all the enzymes and phytoncides contained in honey, not destroyed by the action of oxygen, will get on the skin.
Honey should be spread over the face evenly and leave it for five minutes. If after this time to look in the mirror, you can see an interesting picture: droplets of honey are distributed unequally across the face. This is because uninfected, unclotted pores have absorbed honey, having carried it to deeper layers of the skin. And where there are droplets, there the skin "does not work", because it has microtraumas and microcracks.
Actually, honey massage of the face consists in deep cleaning of these "idle" pores. We usually understand massage inaccurately: if it were necessary to make circular or horizontal movements on the face with your fingers. In no case! Only light pressure with release, without pain. The effect of sticking and detachment of fingers from the skin of the face creates a vacuum for the pores, which draws out sebaceous plugs.
Honey with slag spread out from the skin is transformed on the pads of the fingers into a sticky white mass, which is then easily washed off with water. But the face after the massage should not be washed: it will dry out without leaving a sticky sensation. But you will feel freshness on the face, you will see a blush - this blood stream refreshed the upper layers of the skin.
But most importantly - after honey massage the internal organs begin to work in a more active mode. Knowing this, you can strengthen the impact on those parts of the face on which the most problematic organs are displayed. Thus, with bronchial and pulmonary diseases, cheeks should be actively massaged; at a dysbacteriosis, disturbances of an acid-alkaline balance in an esophagus - to concentrate efforts on a forehead; with gynecological problems - on the chin below the fossa under the lower lip; with diseases of the cardiovascular system - on the tip of the nose.
Honey facial massage is best done in the morning, immediately after sleep. The recommended course of treatment is 10-15 sessions every other day. Honey massage restores the sensitivity of the facial skin to the temperature and light effects. The latter is very important: vitamin D, necessary for the body to normalize the immune system and relieve stress, is produced only in sunlight. That's why a protracted winter is a season of mass depressions. But when the pores are cleared, the light reaches the deep layers, where vitamin D is produced.
Honey massage helps to remove dead epithelial layers, which are not removed by other means. With the white coating remaining after the massage on the fingers, these dead cells leave, giving access to oxygen and light to new young cells. During the massage, enzymes and phytoncides evaporate from the surface of the face, getting into the mucous membrane of the eyes in micro-doses, improving both vision and brain function: after all, the eyes are the forwarded receptors.
The only contraindication to honey massage is an allergy to honey. Otherwise - solid pluses, so try it, and the results will pleasantly surprise you!
