Skin deep Beauty

I think many things can add or take away from the beauty we see everyday not only in the mirror but in our lives. While there are a lot of things I could touch on and will in the future, today I am talking about massage. Since I am not an expert in that field I went to someone who is! Nichole Howe of West Orange Massage was kind enough to write the following article for my blog. She defiantly takes a serious medical approach to massage therapy and its benefits to us and not all of them are because it feels good. If you have any questions about today's article you can send them to me or visit her website at http://www.westorangemassagetherapy.com

Beauty Benefits of Massage There are many ways that massage therapy can enhance your beauty. The first and most obvious is its effects on the skin. Massage increases circulation, sending fresh blood to the skin and moving out toxins. Enhancements that can be beneficial include hot towels, salt scrubs to exfoliate dead skin cells, and hydrating body wraps. Our bodies are in a constant tug-o-war to find center. When we have a tight shoulder on one side, the other shoulder is working double time to counter balance. When we have forward head posture, our necks are straining to keep us upright. We know that people who are most recognized for their beauty have near perfectly symmetrical features. There are different types of massage, such as Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release that can have a drastic effect on the structural analysis of the body and face. Studies show that Massage can greatly reduce the amount of stress people feel. Stress is a huge factor in your health, and we all know that healthy is beautiful. Taking time to get massage is part of a healthy lifestyle. Massage therapists are trained to alert clients to suspicious moles and other skin conditions that people may not be able to see for themselves. Timely treatment of these conditions can save a life as well as the appearance of the skin. The effects of massage are far reaching, from a cellular level to an outward appearance. A person who has just received a massage will be comfortable and at ease, making them more attractive to the world around them.
