With hygiene massage the following techniques are used:
- trituration;
- stroking;
- vibration;
- kneading.
All movements must be made in a circular, rectilinear and zigzag pattern. Repeat every movement should be five times. The places in the neck and forehead are massed separately from all.
To begin the execution of this massage, first you need to consider the type of human skin. With normal skin of the face, daily cosmetic massage will be enough. If you have wrinkles, it is recommended to conduct a course of hygienic massage, after completing about 15 procedures (depending on the skin condition).
If the facial skin is too dry, then regular massage is not necessary more than 2 times a week.
Each such massage should last at least ten minutes.
Hygienic massage with dry and fading skin is carried out only after applying a moisturizer to the skin of the face. In addition to the usual methods of kneading and grinding, it is necessary and useful to use the method of effleurage. After the massage is completed, the napkin should be carefully removed with a napkin and a hot compress applied.
If you have swelling of the face, then using neck and face massage should be very careful. In this case, we will have to confine ourselves to ordinary stroking. Massage in the eye and eyelids is excluded.
Cryomassage. Hygienic and preventive massage
The prophylactic massage will include cryomassage (the Greek word kryos means "cold, ice"). For carrying out cryomassage it is necessary to use snow of carbonic acid. To him, our skin is the most sensitive. This type of massage helps to reduce sebum, so often this massage is recommended for people with oily skin. Another cryomassage is well-suited for the massage of wrinkled and fading skin.
In order not to supercool the skin with creomassage, it is necessary to apply only superficial stroking. After applying carbon dioxide to the skin of the face, reddening of the skin should appear, at the same time, fatigue will occur and an increase in vitality will be felt. In a subsequent increase in the supply of nutrients and oxygen, and also stabilizes the process of circulation in the neck and face.
Many beauticians recommend to start home massage at the age of twenty-five. Ideal will be found every day, such amount of time for the skin of the face, which will match your age.
