THE POWER OF KINESIO MASSAGE
CREATE YOUR IDEAL SKIN
Kinesio massage was created following the principles of kinesio therapy which is the study of muscular skeletal structures and their relationship to circulation to optimize body functioning.
Skin is exposed to 15.000 micro-contractions throughout the day that accumulate to create fine lines and alter the appearance of smooth skin. Darphin's Kinesio massage complements our powerful botanical formulas to rejuvenate skin
MICROCIRCULATION KINESIO MASSAGE
This massage with a serum activates blood circulation and energizes skin. It also helps decongest fluids, which helps increase oxygenation to help improve penetration of the ingredients into skin.
SUCTION MOVEMENT
Using palms, keeping them taught, press cheeks, temples, forehead, cheeks again, and neck.
PINCHING MOVEMENT
Using the thumb and forefinger, pinch cheeks, temples, forehead, cheeks again, and neck.
HEART MOVEMENT
Using fingertips, tap delicately from forehead towards neck.
DETOXIFICATION KINESIO MASSAGE
This massage with an oil helps decongest skin by acting on the lymph circulation, which, unlike the blood system, has no "pump" to activate it. Performing this draining massage will help rid skin of impurities.
GLIDING MOVEMENT
Using the inside part of hands, glide towards ears, going down over the neck’s lymph nodes. Then press on collar bone.
SMOOTHING MOVEMENT
Bend the forefinger and smooth the forehead on 3 levels. Then smooth cheeks. Finally, glide down over the neck’s lymph nodes. Then press on collar bone
HEART MOVEMENT
Use fingertips to drain the contour of the face towards the neck. Then press on collar bone.
MUSCLE RELAXING KINESIO MASSAGE
Every day, our face makes 15,000 micro-contractions. These leave an imprint on skin called expression wrinkles. Our deep massage with a cream helps relax muscles for a smooth, rejuvenated appearance.
KNEADING MOVEMENT
Using the thumb and bent index finger, grab and knead the “smile muscles”.
DECONTRACTING MOVEMENT
Using fingertips, draw the letter S to relax and de-stress the angry muscles.
