Massage Focused Facials

Our facial treatments are massage focused. Here’s why…

Massage is super healing for the skin and nervous system. It brings oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and helps clear detox pathways. The body deeply relaxes, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

• Stress Reduction: Massage has been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and reduces stress. The gentle, rhythmic motions of a face massage can trigger a relaxation response, helping to lower cortisol levels and induce a state of calm.

• Release of Tension: The face contains numerous muscles, and tension can accumulate in these muscles due to stress, anxiety, or habitual facial expressions. Face massage helps release this tension, promoting a sense of ease and relaxation. Targeting areas like the jaw, temples, and forehead can be particularly effective in relieving tension-related discomfort.

• Stimulation of Nerve Endings: The face has a high concentration of nerve endings, and massage can stimulate these receptors. This stimulation sends signals to the brain, promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation. It can also help improve sensory awareness and increase overall body awareness.

• Enhanced Mood: Massage has been associated with the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good chemicals. This can contribute to an improved mood and a sense of emotional well-being.

• Improved Sleep: The relaxation induced by face massage can have a positive impact on sleep. When the nervous system is in a more balanced state, it becomes easier for the body to transition into a restful sleep. This is partly due to the reduction of stress and tension that can interfere with sleep quality.

• Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates involuntary bodily functions, and it consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Face massage, with its calming effect, can help balance the activity of these two branches. This balance is essential for overall well-being and stress management.
