Tips for home massages~

Just as our bodies get tired, our skin also becomes exhausted from daily life. Therefore, skin fatigue needs to be relieved. A process is required to expel accumulated impurities and soothe the skin. For this reason, many people used to visit aesthetics clinics to enjoy skin massages, but this has become difficult due to the spread of COVID-19. If receiving a professional skin massage is not feasible, massaging at home is also a good alternative.

If you intend to perform a skin massage at home, it is recommended to carefully consider your skin type, cleansing method, manual techniques, and product type before starting.

Cleansing
1) Oil
It has the advantage of being able to remove blackheads by dissolving sebum.

2) Cream
It is typically characterized by being oily. However, it has the disadvantage of leaving an oily residue on the hands.

3) Lotion
It is a lotion-type cosmetic used to remove makeup, which is the type that most people usually think of.

4) Gel
It has a texture that is heavier than cleansing water but lighter than oil or cream.


Exfoliation

1) Gomage
Apply the product to your skin, wait 2 to 3 minutes, then wet it with water and gently roll it over. Dead skin cells will slough off like dead skin.


2) Enzymes
Apply the product for sensitive skin, and after 2 to 3 minutes, gently wipe it off with a sponge or a steam towel. To make a steam towel, wet a clean towel with water, place it in a plastic bag, and microwave it for about 3 minutes.

3) Aha
It is highly effective in acidic conditions, and mildly acidic products are the most ideal.

4) Scrub
This is a physical method where hard granules in the product exfoliate the skin. It is recommended for sensitive skin to avoid it.
