Benefits of a Lymphatic Face Massage:
- Congestion free skin -The lymphatic system gets over saturated leading to unwanted toxins in the tissues, skin and joints when our bodies are stressed or subjected to pollutants on a regular basis. In this case, a lymphatic facial massage removes dead cells from the surface of the skin and prevents blockage in the lymph system.
- Deep cleanses skin – Since a lymphatic massage stimulates the flow of lymph fluids it detoxes the skin thus providing a deep cleanse.
- Reduced puffiness -The use of cosmetics, allergies and illnesses can cause congestion in your skin. When fluid builds up it can cause discomfort, puffiness and a dull complexion. A lymphatic facial massage has the ability to clear that congestion, thus reducing the puffiness caused due to it. This is done through multiple rhythmic and gentle movements.
- Reduction of scar tissue – A lymphatic massage promotes good circulation, clearing any blockage in your system, allowing fresh blood and oxygen flood the area of the scar tissue which helps in cell regeneration.
- Promotes relaxation and wellbeing -Besides its therapeutic benefits, a lymphatic massage can be extremely relaxing. It helps in reducing anxiety and stress.
- Relieves sinus It is a great way to drain fluids that build up in your sinus area due to a cold. The gentle circular motions stimulate the flow of the lymph fluid and drains out the fluids congested in the sinus area.
