Who doesn't want amazing skin? Massage therapy is fantastic at battling stress and boosting the body's circulatory system, these benefits are as far reaching as to be able to improve the appearance of the skin of the body and face. For example; A good facial massage not only benefits the skin of the face by helping it gain elasticity, but also by helping it breath in the proper way. As a result of this, the face becomes more radiant, smoother and far firmer. And not only that, a facial massage can also have a double effect: While it soothes the skin and helps it breath and gain firmness, this in turn brings in a great amount of relaxation, which helps the person unwind and push away any tension that he or she might be suffering from. Massage = relief from tension and stress, removal dead skin cells, improved circulation, encouraging regeneration and elasticity = happy, healthy, radiant skin.

Improved circulation Basically, if your circulatory system is in good shape then the entire rest of your body will benefit. A person with poor circulation can suffer from a variety of discomforts including pooling of the fluid in the extremities (like the toes), cold hands and feet, fatigue and achiness. Good circulation brings damaged, tense muscles the oxygen rich blood they need to heal. Better blood circulation is part of the chain reaction that occurs in the body as a result of receiving massage therapy on a regular basis. Massage facilitates circulation because the pressure created by the massage technique actually moves blood through the congested areas. This causes new blood to flow in and flushes lactic acid out from the muscles, it also improves the circulation of the lymph fluid which carries waste away from muscles and internal organs, resulting in lower blood pressure and improved body function.

STRESS - it's something we all experience from time to time, it's a natural, instinctive response to high pressure situations. The body prepares to survive an upcoming event, releasing hormones such as adrenaline and streamlining bodily functions. Stress becomes a problem when we experience this bodily reaction on a regular or constant basis. It can have a negative impact on the body including symptoms such as; headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases. Most of these symptoms can benefit from massage therapy. Research has shown that massage therapy can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, relax your muscles and increase the production of endorphins, your body's natural "feel good" chemical. Serotonin and dopamine are also released through massage, and the result is a feeling of calm relaxation that makes chronic or habitual as well as acute or short-term stress much easier to overcome. In fact, stress relief is one of the first benefits that come to mind when thinking of massage therapy. It's also a key component for anyone trying to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
