Why is neck and shoulder massage so important in a facial?
Our face neck and shoulders have around 80 muscles. Many working together to move and support your head which weighs 5kg. With bad posture and stress this all pulls and creates tension in the face and Jaw.
All this tension in the neck and shoulders draws down on the face and jaw tension can cause asymmetry and puffiness. Not only does this affect appearance it’s common for it to cause headaches and pain.
In all my facials I use extensive facial massage to release this tension improve circulation and lift the muscles. Facial massage improves appearance and it also relaxes and activates your parasympathetic nervous system getting you out of fight or flight mode, relax your jaw and drop your shoulder’s.
Does your regular facial include massage? If it doesn’t you’re missing out.
