What Are the Benefits of a Face Massage?

If you’ve ever thrown out your back while moving heavy boxes, then you already know how a good massage can save the day. But did you know that your face can also benefit from a gentle massage? In addition to its aesthetic and healing benefits, you may find that it nourishes your spirit and helps you feel rejuvenated. 

Get glowing, tighter-looking skin

As we age, we often develop dull, tired-looking skin. This can be partially due to the accumulation of dead skin cells at the surface, and unfortunately, exfoliation isn’t always enough to rejuvenate it. Insufficient blood circulation can also be to blame, as a steady supply of nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood is necessary to revitalize the skin’s cells and keep them healthy.

Thanks to the increased blood circulation it generates, a face massage can help to support glowing, radiant skin. Plus, gentle stimulation can help the skin look tighter and more youthful.

Improvement in the appearance of acne

If you struggle with acne, you’re not alone. Many people suffer from it not only during their teenage years but well into adulthood. Fortunately, a face massage can also be beneficial for reducing the appearance of acne. The increase in blood circulation soothes inflammation and helps heal it. 

In addition, using a gua sha or gemstone roller to massage your face can assist with product absorption. Consider performing your face massage in conjunction with the application of anti-acne products.

Minimizing the appearance of facial scars

Scars on the face are, by their nature, highly visible. Fortunately, there is a gentle, non-invasive way to address them and reduce their appearance. A face massage can work wonders to support scars, whether you’ve had them for years or they’re in the process of healing. 

When you massage a healing scar, the area receives more blood circulation, therefore providing the essential blood flow and nutrients to assist with healing. A face massage also works to loosen up surrounding skin tissue and make protruding bumps flatter.

Treat the painful symptoms of TMJ disorders

You have two temporomandibular joints (TMJs) on either side of your face. They allow your jaw to open and close. If you have a TMJ disorder, it means that there is dysfunction within them—which can be quite painful, causing symptoms like joint stiffness and soreness. A severe TMJ disorder can even lead to earache, headache, and dizziness. 

If you’re one of the millions of people suffering from a TMJ disorder, we’ve got good news. Massaging your face can help relieve the symptoms by relaxing tense facial muscles and healing areas of inflammation.
