What is Facial Massage?
Facial Massage is a wonderfully relaxing and restorative treatment that focuses on releasing tension held in the face, jaw, scalp, neck and shoulders while encouraging a sense of calm throughout the whole body.
Many of us carry stress in our faces without even realising it. Clenched jaws, furrowed brows, headaches, screen fatigue and busy minds can all lead to tightness and discomfort. Facial Massage provides an opportunity to gently let go of this tension and encourage deep relaxation.
At Sanare, Facial Massage combines a variety of gentle techniques, including:
🌿 Relaxing massage of the upper chest, shoulders and neck
🌿 Gentle facial massage to ease muscular tension
🌿 Stimulation of reflexology points on the face
🌿 Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques to help reduce puffiness and support the body’s natural drainage pathways
🌿 Soothing scalp massage to encourage complete relaxation
