Oriental Face Massage (Natural Lift Facial)

The benefits of Natural Lift Facial Massage (NLFM) works on many different levels:

• Muscles: Our facial muscles are constantly working, from smiling and frowning to eating and yawning. This can build up tension and restrict blood vessels, reducing circulation and the delivery of nutrients. Natural lift facial massage reduces muscle tension and improves blood and lymph flow.
• Nervous System: Touch has an immediate and beneficial effect on our emotions. Our nervous system governs the way we react to our environment and regulates our bodily systems. Natural lift facial massage can help to calm, soothe and activate parasympathetic nervous system activity (the relaxation response).
• Circulation: Natural lift facial massage boosts lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. The lymph vessels are very close to the skin’s surface and the gentle stroking used during this massage has a major effect on improving saggy, puffy and grey skin.
• Skin: Our skin is made up of connective tissue formed from elastin and collagen. Over time, these fibres lock together and the skin loses its elasticity. Natural lift facial massage helps to promote skin flexibility by toning these fibres and promoting suppleness and mobility. It also helps expose fresh, new skin cells and softens the skin.
• Energy: The universal life force, also known as ‘ki’, ‘chi’ or ‘prana’ is believed to flow through energy centres and meridian lines all over the body, affecting health and well-being. Natural lift facial massage helps to balance these energy centres by using finger pressure on the facial meridians and pressure points, helping to release any blockages and releasing the flow of energy to the body’s energy system.
