How the Skin Moves Nutrients

It is important to know the benefits for a massage, but in order to fully understand what the perks are, you must know a few things about the anatomy and physiology of the skin.

The skin is a very complex organ, and obviously one of the most significant ones. By understanding the anatomy of your face, and the layers of your skin, you can better create a beautiful and healthy complexion. Your skin is made up of two layers, the epidermis, the first layer, and the dermis, the second layer. The bottom layer of skin is where all of the nutrients, water, and oxygen are held, and if the skin is lacking in any of these, then the top layer, the epidermis, is negatively affected. Connective tissue also plays a role in how the skin moves nutrients. All of these substances are transported through this tissue to be removed as waste. The ability to clean, or move the waste, allows you to create an environment that is healthy and clean. Estheticians find that facial massages are very important to help move the waste out and create healthy skin.

By applying pressure and movement, the benefits of a facial massage become greater, and estheticians can help normalize the functions of connective tissue, freeing your skin of the harmful substances.

Now, put your best face forward, take care of all the layers in your skin, and let it work for you!
