Body Massage Video and Massage Benefits

back massage
Have you ever have a body massage? If not, you really should try one. I had a wonderful body massage on the beach on my last trip to Jamaica. It was done at sunset which made it even nicer!

I made a video of the massage for you and included lots of tips for you to get the most out of a massage.

 Massage is a healing therapeutic treatment which has many health benefits in addition to the whole relaxing aspect of massage. Various techniques such as long and short strokes, kneading, circular motions, pressure and vibration are used to manipulate the skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Regular massage treatments provide the most benefit for your body. Try to get one each month.

 The Benefits of Massage

 Relaxation
The manipulation of soft tissue promotes relaxation, well being and stress reduction.

 Stress Hormone Reduction
The level of the stress hormone cortisol drops during a massage. Less stress gives us better sleep, a stronger immune system, better focus and an increased energy level.

 Pain Relief 
Endorphins, the brain chemicals that are our natural pain relievers and stress reducers, increase during a massage. Headache and migraine sufferers find their headaches are lessened with regular massage.

 Healing
Circulation is increased providing more oxygen to the tissues of the body, better elimination of toxins, better healing of sports injuries, better healing from illness and better healing after surgery. This includes circulation to the skin.

 Fluid Drainage
Circulation is improved which helps drain fluids and reduce fluid retention. I always have ear pain when flying, especially when landing. I had my massage the day before flying home. This was the first time I had no ear pain when flying. I feel the massage helped to drain fluid in the ears which reduced ear pressure.

Relief of Muscle Tension
Tense muscles are loosened and relaxed during a massage.

 Better Flexibility
Massage loosen tight muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons allowing the body to be more flexible. Better flexibility helps prevent muscle injuries.

 Comfort
The human touch creates a feeling of well being and being cared for which helps relieve anxiety.

 Virus Fighting
A study done at the Cedar-Sinai Medical Center showed that a 45 minute Swedish massage significantly boosted levels NK cells and T lymphocytes, which are virus fighters, in the blood.

 Firmer Skin
Regular massage helps to stimulate collagen production adding firmness to the skin.

Moisturized Skin
The oil or massage cream used during a massage conditions the skin.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out. Read more about blackhead, whiteheads and blind pimples This is a common problem for the under-eye area. It is a dry, delicate area of the skin. I see it a lot on my clients. Heavy products...

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j...
