What are the benefits of classic facial massage?
Classic facial massage is a combination of various techniques and techniques that create a gentle effect on the skin using your hands.
Movements are smooth and superficial. The emphasis is placed primarily on working on the skin; deeper tissues are minimally affected. The procedure is performed with fingertips, which move across the face with smooth and sliding movements. Stroking with periodic pressure is acceptable, as well as patting and vibrating movements. To make it easier to glide, reduce friction and stretch tissue, the skin is moisturized with special products before the procedure. Usually it is cream or oil. To achieve results, massage is performed along massage lines. They are special vectors along which the skin resists stretching more strongly than others. With the help of a classic facial massage, you can achieve visible and lasting results, as well as reduce the severity of various skin problems:

What are “beauty points”?
Massage with a Guasha scraper and roller affects biologically active points located on the face. These points are also called “beauty points”, which help the skin renewal process to proceed faster. Biological points are associated with acupuncture massage techniques; they represent a small area of skin and subcutaneous structures that are connected to each other. Due to their structure, these areas are able to release an increased amount of active substances, creating a depot - the condition of the skin improves.
Features of beauty points:
- The connective tissue is looser, collagen fibers have the shape of a regular mesh with hexagonal cells;
- There is increased oxygen consumption in this area;
- Different types of cells are collected into specific formations;
- The number of nerve fibers running from the muscles to the skin has increased; they are closely intertwined with the vessels;

In combination with the effect on the neck muscles, this leads to a decrease or complete disappearance of headaches and migraines.
East is a delicate matter
Jade and quartz facial massagers are said to have been used in China for centuries. However, modern Chinese beauty specialists question this theory, believing that this is nothing more than a marketing ploy. In fact, they explain, the use of gouache became popular in the 14th century. This is how they helped peasants who fainted after long, grueling work under the scorching sun. As you can see, everything is quite prosaic.
As a rejuvenating and healing procedure, massage with pieces of natural stone has become popular thanks to Eastern specialists in acupuncture. The Chinese believe that the skin is a map of the entire body. Acupuncture involves influencing internal organs and systems directly through the skin. Over time, a rejuvenation effect was noticed when applied to certain points on the face.
In a word, massage with rollers of soft green and soft pink colors, as well as scraper stones of various shapes, has become an absolute favorite of home care among modern girls. What are its advantages?

Slow life ― slow beauty: don’t rush in vain
The fashion for crystals and spiritual practices with them came along with the fashion for what in the English-speaking environment was called slow life. The philosophy of “slow living” appeared as if in contrast to the frantic rhythm and super-productivity to the detriment of oneself, which has been popular in recent decades.
However, residents of Mediterranean countries have been practicing this approach to life for a long time. Everyone knows that Italians are in no hurry, the Spaniards sacredly honor their siesta, and the Greeks directly say that after eating “you need to straighten your body,” in other words, lie down.
But slow life is not only a time to relax, but a philosophy of focusing on your life in every moment. When we consciously take our time, do not rush to do something simply because something needs to be done, but, on the contrary, we contemplate, reflect, and take care of the body and soul more. One of the directions of the slow life philosophy is a system of practices for caring for the body, health and beauty - slow beauty. Its essence is to seek harmony between soul and body, to try to avoid stress and negativity, and to refuse aggressive cosmetic procedures aimed at rejuvenation. On the contrary, maximum naturalness, slow movement towards your goal, natural cosmetics and oriental practices such as yoga, qigong, and Ayurveda are encouraged.
How to use a facial roller massager?
Roller massage allows for a gentler effect, which is suitable for sensitive skin.
The double-sided facial roller massager is more versatile. The small roller is designed to massage the skin around the eyes and wings of the nose. Apply cosmetic oil or moisturizer to your face - this will ensure better glide. All movements are performed along massage lines, moving from the décolleté and neck to the forehead. Don't forget that regular rolling of the roller improves the skin's receptivity, so it is also recommended to carry out procedures using a fabric mask and do not forget about the finishing cream. In the morning, the roller can be used against the appearance of puffiness; in the evening, it will “invigorate” the skin after a busy day.
After the procedure, do not forget to wash the Gua Sha scraper and roller with warm water and soap to remove any remaining dirt and cosmetics.
To achieve results, the massager must be used regularly. The optimal effect is achieved if you devote 5-10 minutes a day to this procedure. Be sure to monitor your feelings: if it becomes unpleasant or painful, stop the session immediately.
