Facial massage: types and benefits
In cold winter season, facial skin needs more care and nourishment than ever. Cold temperatures negatively affect its condition, and also contribute to premature aging and the appearance of wrinkles. A manual facial massage is perhaps the best way not only to get rid of wrinkles, but also to tone your skin, tighten it and make your face even more fresh and refined. Facial care should be a must for every girl and woman. And with a regular facial massage you will be able to forever forget about sagging skin and various surgical interventions in the future.
What is the use of facial massage?
Facial massage stimulates blood circulation. Due to this, the processes of skin restoration occur faster in the body and it becomes more toned and elastic. Massage also fights swelling, wrinkles and creases on the face. So if you are concerned about at least one of the above problems, a facial massage will be a real pleasant salvation for you. Unlike the so-called “beauty injections” and other cosmetic procedures, which are often accompanied by various injections and cause pain.
How to do facial massage correctly
There is no one true technique for performing facial massage. Each master uses his own methods and techniques, individually selecting a complex based on your requirements. It can be like a rejuvenating facial massage, it is also called “anti-aging facial massage”, “anti-wrinkle facial massage”, or prophylactic, which will help you keep your face in perfect condition. Unlike cosmetic, massage parlors in Riga are more customer-oriented, because masters themselves can individually select facial massage techniques, and not work out another routine procedure.
But despite the individuality of the procedure, there are certain requirements on how to do facial massage in order to achieve maximum effect.
- Before massage, it is imperative to wash off all cosmetics from the face and cleanse the skin of impurities
- Heat the skin of the face well so that the pores open wide
- Apply a special cream or massage oil to the face to make it easier to glide on the skin
- Perform facial massage only along massage lines

Types of facial massage
Facial massage techniques have a huge variety. Masseurs constantly improve their techniques, develop new ones and each time try to make their procedure better.
Now there are many recognized world massage techniques, including vacuum facial massage, Japanese facial massage (shiatsu), lymphatic drainage facial massage and others.
Let's take a closer look at them:
Vacuum facial massage
This type of massage is done using special jars that create a vacuum on your face. Vacuum facial massage helps to remove fine wrinkles, reduce bruises under the eyes and even out skin texture.
Japanese face massage (shiatsu)
This is more likely not a massage, but acupressure for the face, which is carried out by means of finger pressure on the nerve endings on the face. Acupressure facial massage improves blood circulation and complexion, relieves swelling and improves skin elasticity.
Lymphatic drainage facial massage
Lymphatic drainage massage can be either manual or hardware. There is practically no difference between these types. Lymphatic drainage facial massage helps to get rid of dark circles under the eyes, stimulates microcirculation and lymph outflow, which in turn helps restore skin elasticity and tone the face muscles.
