Facial muscles lose strength and the skin becomes slack. Connective tissue is produced less, as a result the wrinkles and lines will become more visible. Toxins increase and thus accelerate the aging.
What is connective tissue?
Connective tissue is an important part of the body and especially the skin, it is the tissue that protects your organs and determines their shape and mobility. So it gives your body shape and it gives the skin firmness.
Connective tissue massage for the face
A connective tissue massage combines stroking and pressure techniques to stimulate collagen. Collagen provides firmness and more contour. The firm massage also stimulates blood circulation, which allows your skin to better absorb nutrients and remove waste products.
