Muscle tone: Muscle tone is the subconscious contraction of the muscle at rest. This is also called residual muscle tension. The more conventional definition of muscle tone is ‘the muscle that appears well defined and firm. Muscle tone keeps your muscles ready for action. It also plays a role in balance and posture. A good muscle tone can boost a person’s confidence and self-image. As we grow old due to loss of collagen and elastin, the muscle tone decreases. Facial massage helps increase muscle tone by tightening the muscles. Facial massage also helps increase blood supply which supplies nutrition to the muscle to keep up its tone. Regular massages can also help stimulate the formation of collagen, which helps hone the muscle tone.

Facial massage for blocked sinus Any who has ever had sinus problems will tell you that they are a major pain. There are many causes of blockage of sinus but the most common causes are common cold and allergies. Blocked sinuses can not only cause nasal congestion but also eye irritation and headaches. Facial massage is an alternate approach to management of you blocked sinuses. A 20-25 minute massage focusing on the nasal area can help unclog your nose. The massage should start at the bridge of nose, use small outward circular strokes to apply pressure. Now move downwards to the nostrils while repeating the circular outward strokes.

Facial massage for allergies There are numerous causes of allergies but here I am taking about common allergies like pollen allergy or dust allergy. The symptoms of allergic reaction can include headache, itching and redness of eyes, nasal congestion or runny nose. Facial massage is an alternative but effective way to manage the symptoms of allergy. The most common type of facial massage that helps relieve the symptoms of allergy is the sinus drainage massage, it lasts about ...20 to 25 minutes. The massage is started by placing a warn towel around the face for a few minutes, this helps the facial muscles to relax. Start by applying gentle strokes on the forehead pushing it from both sides towards the middle. Then gently massage the bride of the nose and nostrils in an outward circular motion. Now massage the area around the eyes and the cheeks. Lastly massage the area in front of the ear. Repeated his patter 2-3 times to help relieve symptoms. This helps increase blood supply and lymphatic drainage, which in turn help clear blocked sinuses. The massage also helps alleviate the stress caused by the onset of allergic symptoms. See more
