Unusually soft, even, smooth, soft skin, what else do we, true ladies, need? The answer has been found to the eternal women's question, how to recognize the secrets of attractiveness and be even more beautiful.

Now we can easily do it, which will help transform, tighten and give the skin a fresh and rested look, making it velvety and radiant, and will return the natural blush to the cheeks. This procedure is called honey facial massage, and it was brought from distant Tibet. Let's look at the mechanism of its action in more detail.

What are the features of massage using honey?

The main goal of honey massage is to deeply cleanse the “non-functioning” pores on the skin of the face.

There are many types of massage: and many naively believe that this procedure consists only of circular or horizontal movements across the face. But this is not at all true; during the procedure, only light, gentle and pressing movements with release should be carried out, and painless ones. Using honey will cause the fingers to stick and pull away from the skin, which will create a vacuum that will pull out the sebaceous plugs from the skin.

In the photo: each area on the face is responsible for the work of a specific organ, knowing correct location These points can be used to target the problem organs.

Honey, which contains elongated toxins, will turn into a white sticky mass on your fingertips; it should be washed off warm water. There is no need to wash or wipe your face; it should dry on its own without any feeling of stickiness. But the skin will become fresh, with a natural blush on the cheeks, due to the fact that the blood flow has refreshed the epidermis.

The most important thing is that after a honey massage session everything internal organs begin to work more actively. Knowing the correct location on the face of the points responsible for the functioning of the internal organs, it is possible to produce a targeted effect on the problem organs.

For example, for diseases of the lungs or bronchi, you need to massage your cheeks; in case of disturbances in the functioning of the stomach or dysbacteriosis, a massage of the forehead area should be performed; for problems with gynecology – the chin area; for diseases of cardio-vascular system- tip of the nose.

The best time for a honey massage is in the morning, immediately after waking up. The recommended course is 10-15 sessions, the procedure should be performed every other day. This massage recreates the sensitivity of facial skin to light and temperature. Thanks to honey massage, the skin and pores are cleansed, the sun's rays reach the deep layers, where vitamin D is produced.

Massage with honey makes it possible to cleanse dead cells from the surface of the skin. The white coating left on the fingers after the massage removes these dead epithelial cells, allowing light and oxygen to reach new cells.

Facial skin care will be many times more effective due to the use of proven cosmetics to cleanse the facial skin, proven massage techniques, and you will even save time spent preparing for the procedure at home.

Homemade honey massage for cellulite is an invention of the eighties of the last century. At that time, however, the word “cellulite” itself was not in use, but the procedure, which included clapping palms smeared in sweets on the body, was already done on a bath day. This exciting activity was preceded by a “mask” of honey, salt and soda. Even then, unfortunate allergy sufferers could not have fun with everyone else, but the rest of humanity appreciated the procedures. It’s not for nothing that they migrated first to inexpensive glossy magazines, and then to the Internet. Today, most sources claim that honey massage is a way for lazy people to achieve their dream figure. The catch, as usual, is that methods that do not require physical effort usually work well for people prone to masochism and are not suitable for everyone else.

Why honey massage for cellulite is not so good

Let's read the description of the procedure:

• take liquid honey, if you can’t buy fresh honey, heat the old one in a water bath;
• apply to the stomach and thighs;
• wet your palms with any cosmetic oil or even simple olive or vegetable, but not much;
• and now, almost with all your strength, slap the poor problem areas and “tear off” the sticky palms;
• supposedly, this manipulation should ensure the outflow of lymph, burning fat, improving metabolism and almost cleansing karma and rebirth into a slender model in the current life.

In reality, not everything is so rosy. This massage does not yet have any scientifically proven bonuses, other than improving blood circulation. Perhaps humanity has not yet appreciated this gift of the Soviet era, but it is doubtful that something that leaves bruises and bruises on the body would be truly useful.

By the way, you need to “clap” until your hands stop sticking. Then it is recommended that the woman losing weight put on her pajamas and go to bed. Without dinner, of course. What kind of weight loss can there be with a touch of masochism, if with dinner.

There is also a version for “advanced users”. On it you need to roll an ordinary glass bottle, for example, from under mineral water. Similarly, the procedure is carried out until the honey stops sticking. This usually takes at least 10 minutes per zone.

Yes, this massage is done strictly in the evening, since in the morning you can get hypothermia after the honey “warm-up”. It is recommended to repeat the course of procedures every 2-3 weeks, if necessary.

The man is busy with something. He sits on forums about honey massage, reads other people’s posts about how someone’s skin has shrunk and smoothed out by a centimeter. Or about how someone social assistance They didn’t call me at the pool, they thought my husband was beating me.

You can also read about the benefits of honey. After all, there is so much in it fructose, which is not absorbed through the skin, and a bunch of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. By the way, they are also not in a hurry to please our body, penetrating through the epidermis. Honey really softens and moisturizes, but like any other product, it does not penetrate too deeply into the skin. In addition, it is natural, smells nice, and a person will be busy again by buying honey in in the right places from “those” beekeepers.

In addition, skin care gives self-confidence, especially if in a woman’s mind such manipulations are associated with beauty, and not with a pointless waste of time. Well, and further, according to the list:

• any clapping, pinching and other similar manipulations help improve blood circulation;
• theoretically (studies that would show exactly how much weight loss is accelerated have not yet been carried out), with fat burning actively occurring in the body, massage promotes a more rapid elimination of the products of “decomposition” of fat cells;
• should ensure reduction of edema and lymph outflow.

Cons of honey massage

It really hurts and has nothing in common with the feeling of spa therapy, normal manual massage, or even a procedure with a vibrating iron at home. However, many people prefer to do painful massages than to train 3 times a week in the calm atmosphere of a specially equipped room. Apparently, it is believed that training is longer and more expensive.

By the way, about the price. One procedure takes about a glass of liquid honey. Calculate for yourself how much a home massage course will cost, given that beekeeping products are far from cheap. In this regard, oil massages and even inexpensive creams will be a more user-friendly option.

Bruising, in in this case, is not an indicator of the effectiveness of massage, but an illustration of the fact that you are causing injury to blood vessels with your own hands. There is nothing good about this, and no “blood circulation” improves through a damaged network of capillaries. On the contrary, in the future, constant “stuffing” can lead to its violations.

With edema, it’s not so simple either. If they are called poor nutrition and violation drinking regime, you probably won’t be able to get rid of them with massages. The effect will be short-term and not too pronounced. Therefore, it is better to prefer more effective measures, for example, improving nutrition and eliminating drinks that disrupt the water-salt balance. Sometimes edema can be symptoms of serious problems with the functioning of the kidneys and heart, so if they suddenly appear, you should seek the advice of a specialist, and not try to correct only appearance.

Honey massage contraindicated for varicose veins, cannot be used for various inflammatory diseases and conditions that contribute to decreased immunity. Honey can cause quite severe allergies and contribute to the appearance of a rash on the skin.

It is not possible to mechanically damage the membranes of fat cells and cause “fat burning” in this way. Clapping harder to lose weight faster won't work either. In general, the procedure is not so useful that you have to endure pain and discomfort because of it.

For those who want to do something at home with their skin and involve honey in this process, we can recommend softer massage options:

• manipulation with scrub in the shower. Add half a glass of honey to the scrub from 1 glass of drunk coffee, and a little olive oil, apply in a circular motion, act on each zone for at least 5 minutes;
• combine a glass of liquid honey with 200 g of coconut flakes and use, placing it in a gauze “mold” for massage soap;
• finally mix the glass oatmeal with a glass of honey and add half a glass of olive oil.

Scrubs help remove dead skin particles. This improves the appearance, gives radiance, and is very important for those who actively use various anti-cellulite cosmetics. Lotions and creams “clog” pores over time and help fix dead epidermal scales to the surface. Therefore, regular use of natural soft scrubs will only improve the quality of skin care.
