Facial massage for women 40+: what are its features

Facial massage is an effective skin care procedure, especially relevant for women over 40.

At this age, facial skin requires special attention and care, as it becomes more susceptible to age-related changes, loss of elasticity and fading.

Beauty expert in the field of aesthetic cosmetology, head of the premium beauty salon IDOL FACE Yulia Akmaeva spoke about the features of anti-aging face massage.

After 40 years, facial massage becomes quite a popular procedure among women, as it has an anti-age effect. At this age, the skin begins to lose its tone, natural contour, elasticity.

It becomes atopic, pale, there is a lack of hyaluronic acid and collagen, so it is very important to pay enough attention to the skin. Regular facial massage sessions will help prevent age-related changes, as well as improve the overall condition of the skin and give it a healthy glow.

When performing anti-aging massage, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the skin. It is recommended to contact specialized salons or clinics with qualified specialists who will be able to select products taking into account the type and characteristics of the skin, as well as the appropriate massage technique.

Don't forget about home care using moisturizing, nourishing care products, as well as SPF protection.

Features of facial skin after 40 years:

• Loss of elasticity and tone - this occurs due to a lack of collagen and elastin, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin and loss of facial contour;
• Hyperpigmentation. Women of elegant age often experience an increase in the number of pigment spots on the skin due to exposure to ultraviolet rays, hormonal changes and other factors;
• Dryness. Sebum production decreases, which leads to flaking, irritation and pigmentation;
• Puffiness and dark circles are a result of decreased blood circulation;
• Decreased skin elasticity due to a decrease in collagen and elastin, leading to the formation of deeper wrinkles and folds.

The main feature of anti-age facial massage is the use of techniques that are aimed at rejuvenation, muscle tone, modeling facial contours, and increasing skin elasticity.

Here are some facial massage techniques that have an anti-aging effect:

2. Myofascial. This manual massage technique is aimed at restoring the facial framework by specifically affecting connective tissues. This type of skin impact rejuvenates, models the facial contours and can replace injection and surgical techniques.

3. Sculptural. This type of facial massage involves deep work on the facial muscles and subcutaneous tissue, and affects the blood and lymphatic vessels: swelling and bags under the eyes are reduced, skin color becomes uniform and fresh, microcirculation and metabolism in the deep layers of the epidermis are improved.

4. Plastic. Modeling technique, which results in cell regeneration processes being launched, and accelerates the production of collagen and elastin - fundamental components important for a toned and clear facial contour.

Regularity is necessary to achieve visible results. It is advisable to take a course of at least 10 sessions.

The course should be taken with a maximum interval of 3-4 days and repeated 2-3 times a year. If desired and necessary, you can do maintenance procedures once every 10-14 days. This will help maintain the youth and beauty of your skin.

It is also recommended that before starting a massage course, you consult with a qualified specialist to select methods and products suitable for your specific skin type, individual needs and characteristics.
