The best facial massage –

One of the Japanese secrets of beauty and youthfulness begins with preventive health and beauty care. Self-care goes beyond beauty, it also involves a main part for human beings to take care of: mind, body and emotions in an integrated way.

Facial training and skin health and vitality

Facial massage performed periodically helps to improve blood flow and tissue nutrition, and favors the transport of oxygen and nutrients, acting efficiently on muscle activity. “Here in Japan I apply the practice of self-massage developed by myself with Japanese techniques called Bihada face lifting and facial muscle training done regularly, which results in greater flexibility. This is because the body perceives stimuli that are applied to it, improving all aspects of facial muscle disharmony and stress. The technique provides several physiological effects in the worked regions resulting from the maneuvers performed on the tissue. The result includes rejuvenation, immediate lifting, symmetry and facial harmony, as well as relaxation and skin quality and health”.

Healthy habits favor joviality

Skin integrity, health and longevity will depend on the daily routine during life. The way we take care of our body and organism, prioritizing a balanced diet, self-care and rest are some of the factors that determine the health, longevity and quality of the skin.
