Facial massage is often advertised as an effective method for skin rejuvenation. Cosmetologist Dariya Tishchenko shared whether facial massage can truly improve the condition of the face and named potential downsides.

What you should know

According to the expert, facial massage can improve the appearance of the skin but don’t expect it to make you look like a Hollywood star.

The result depends on:

  • Type of massage
  • Regularity
  • Genetics
  • Skincare routine

The main types of massage include:

  • Lymphatic drainage massage: Stimulates lymph flow and helps reduce swelling
  • Anti-aging massage: Aimed at collagen production
  • Gua sha and roller massage: Improve blood circulation and reduce swelling

Benefits and downsides of facial massage

The cosmetologist highlighted that the main benefits are improved circulation, stimulated collagen production, and reduced swelling.

Massage can also promote better absorption of skin care products. However, incorrect technique can lead to skin irritation and even bruising.

It is important to remember that the results of the procedure are temporary and require regularity to achieve visible effects.

Facial massage is a good method for skincare, but definitely not a cure-all.
