Facial massages

Did you ever notice your face looks paler, puffer and more creased than usual in the mornings. You may think it's due to the crease on the pillow you slept on. The lack of color and tone is due to nocturnal slow down in circulation.

When in deep rest, the body stops all the systems that pump blood and lymph. Waste builds up at night, when the lymph drainage of toxics slows down. Puffiness in the morning, around the face and eyes, is the result of relative pallor that follows the nocturnal slow down in blood circulation.

Lack of exercise, poor nutrition, shallow breathing and overexposure to pollution also slow down circulation. Perils of modern lifestyle dim the drainage of lymph and flow of blood.

Facial massages trigger drainage of lymph and flow of blood. The healthy pink glow is the obvious result of improved blood flow. The acceleration in lymph action is not visible. But when your face portrays a richer color, you can assume the lymph has been stimulated. The vessels of the lymph run very close to the skin surface. Hence in the longer run, a fluid lymph system results in a lively immune system and a radiant complexion. Fifty percent of the lymph nodes are situated in the neck so unblocking them has a prompt result on the facial skin.
