Face care routine: face massage, face gym and self-massage

Dear readers,

When we talk about face care, the first things that come to mind are cleansing and moisturising. Sometimes you also think about scrubs and masks, but do you know that there’s much more to face care than that?

The world of well-being offers a wide selection of very effective techniques which can give your face a gorgeous new glow while you get the most amazing relaxation!

Talented and highly skilled experts with techniques that go beyond the usual facial treatment

Most of us are familiar with the purifying, cleansing, moisturising and anti-ageing benefits of common face care products. There are many specialised techniques which go beyond that, offering a whole new radiance to your skin, considerably reducing wrinkles and giving your face the plumpy effect you are after.

FaceGym is a brand founded by British Inge Theron in 2016.

While travelling on a six-month journey around the world, including some time in India, Inge discovered the benefits of massage and spa. She later became a spa consultant, working for spas around the world, and writer of the Chronicles of a Spa Junkie for the Financial Times.

Unfortunately, 3 years later, falling into the trap of ‘never enough’, Inge became obsessed with wrinkles, getting injection after injection, until she crossed the line and ended up with a badly damaged face at age 37.She spent some time in an ashram in Mexico, benefiting from Inca traditional face treatments, several times a day, hoping to get her original face back and got amazed by the results. She found out that your face is just as ‘workable’ as the rest of your body is; you can sculpt your face muscles and tone-up.

That’s how the idea of creating a face workout was born, using the same steps as a body workout; warm up, cardio, modelling and relaxation. The results are simply astounding, leaving your skin plumped-up and rehydrated!
Inge now has about a dozen studios across the world (London, New York, Los Angeles), and her concept has proven successful, even convincing many celebrities like Ellie Goulding and Adriana Lima.

No doubt these unique techniques will inspire many entrepreneurial souls to create their own Glow Studio, like these new Parisian brands have done, Aimee and Seasonly.

Self-massages

Facial self-massage has travelled the world and centuries, from Japanese ancient traditions to Middle Eastern body-care routines, and still offers the same well-being benefits it always has, showing an almost immediate effect on your skin radiance. All well-being experts highly recommend it.
Face self-massage enhances your basic skincare product efficiency by improving its absorption, and goes beyond that by relieving tension (mostly eyes area, temples and jaw) and stimulating both blood and lymph micro-circulation, giving your skin an immediate revitalised radiance.
Learning self-massage helps you get to know and love your body better. This way, you better apprehend the signs of ageing and can use soft non-invasive techniques to gently embrace your well-ageing journey.

Massage for mums-to-be and babies

Did you know that there’s a whole world behind mums-to-be and babies’ wellbeing?

An increasing number of spas and wellbeing institutes offer specific massages tailored to pregnant women. You can enjoy them either lying down on your side with a cushion between your legs, or simply sitting, or sometimes lying face-down on a massage table especially designed to accommodate your belly. These specific massages are designed to help ease lower back pain, relieve swollen legs or reduce fatigue when pregnant.

These are well deserved and much needed relaxing moments for both baby and mum-to-be. What makes mum relaxed will have a soothing effect on baby.

Here are some tried and tested spas approved by our team in Paris :

 

Try the ‘cocooning feel’ at Six Senses Spa

For a smaller budget, try the Thémaé Spa

For the ultimate pleasure, treat yourself to a massage at the George V Spa or the Mandarin Oriental Spa

After giving birth, you can stay in your relaxing bubble by massaging your baby. Beyond the soothing effect of massage and the benefits of a pleasant moment together, you will find many health benefits in massaging your little one, helping them with tummy aches or improving their muscle tone. Many brilliant books cover the subject; we like « Baby Touch: Massage and Reflexology for Babies and Children by Wendy Kavanagh » for example.You can also take your baby to a children’s osteopath, they will help release any strains from pregnancy and birth.

Our favorite brand :

We highly recommend Skinhaptics products for you and your baby. These organic preservative-free skincare products are recommended by many midwifes and birth centers. They are ideal for your daily skin-care routine or for massages, that’s why you can find their massage oils in many spas in Paris for example (Six Senses and many others).

Most Skinhaptics products are designed for the whole family; shower gel, shampoo, massage oils, face cleanser, face cream and oils equally.

Cotton, plum and sunflower cold pressed oils are the main ingredients, giving every Skinhaptic product a delicate scent made for sharing with you (little) loved ones!

Last but not least (and certainly our favourite!), Skinhaptics goes one step forward, offering online baby massage tutorials as well as a well-thought easy-to-use baby carrier scarf.
