Benefits of Ayurvedic Face Massage
In addition to detoxifying your face, Ayurvedic face massage helps your facial muscles relax from their contracted state. It removes any stress-induced blockages that are present in the muscles and in doing so, also ensures that you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Regular massage can make frown lines disappear and make your skin appear healthy and toned. It also stimulates lymphatic drainage and the circulation of blood. In fact Ayurvedic face massage is the most non-invasive and natural face lift that you can get.
Ayurvedic massage uses both dry and oil massage according to the needs of the individual but oil massage is most commonly used. With some similarities to a typical western Aromatherapy massage.
