Aroma massage for face and hands

Aromatherapy massage is the most common healing procedure used by aromatherapists because it is the most effective. This procedure includes two methods - massage and aromatherapy. Aromatherapy, translated from Greek, means “smell treatment.” The combination of massage techniques and various essential oils improves blood circulation, relieves tension and restores well-being. There is an impact not only on the physical, but also on the mental level.

As practice shows, the oil is absorbed quite well by the skin.

A prerequisite for aroma massage is that the hands and the room in which the massage is performed must be warm.

Depending on what result needs to be achieved, what disease needs to be cured, diluted or hot oils are used. The oil is used to thoroughly warm the affected area of ​​the body. It is rubbed very gently and carefully with your fingertips. If the skin is damaged, apply the oil with a cotton swab.

To carry out an aromatherapy procedure, you do not need to know professional massage techniques. We invite you to learn simple massage techniques that are no less effective. Depending on what combination of oils you use during the procedure, different effects on the body will occur.

To get started, we suggest using the following essential oils:

1. rosemary;
2. chamomile;
3. lavender;
4. rose;
5. orange;
6. lemon.

How to mix essential oils correctly:

1. You need to purchase a base - sweet almond cosmetic oil.
2. Buy 10 ml vials at the pharmacy and pour the oil into them. The bottle should be made of blue or yellow glass, which protects the contents from exposure to sunlight.
3. Then add 5 drops of one of the essential oils or a mixture of 5 different oils to the 10 ml bottle (special note: it is not recommended to use more than 2 drops of peppermint).

So, the massage mixture of oils is prepared. Let's move on to the procedure.

Take a few drops of the prepared massage oil, apply it to your index fingers and rub thoroughly.

1. We begin the facial massage from the forehead area: with our fingers, carefully perform movements from the center of the forehead to the temples.
2. Then from the center of the forehead we move down along the contour of the face.
3. Next, you need to stroke under the eyes, moving along the cheeks, touching the nose and lips.
4. Let's cheer up your face a little: use your fingertips to perform a “finger rain”: to do this, you need to vigorously tap your fingers in the area of ​​the chin and jaw.
5. Next, use the back of your fingers to perform the same movements in the area under the jaw.

This facial massage will take literally 30 seconds. It will refresh and invigorate you well. It is very useful to perform the procedure in the morning. You can do it right at work, without being embarrassed by your colleagues. Be careful not to let the oil get into your eyes or mouth.
