Men's face massage

he massage is usually carried out after shaving to aid skin elasticity, tone the facial muscles and encourage natural excretion of waste products. However, the main benefit of a face massage is to relax the client and this point should be remembered by the operator while the massage is being carried out.
Before commencing the massage, make sure that the client's clothing and hair are well protected from the massage cream. Check that your hands and nails are clean and assemble equipment.

Procedure
1 Steam the face with two hot towels.
2 Stand behind the client and commence the massage by placing the flat surface of the closed fingers on the forehead at the eyebrows. Stroke the fingers back towards the front hairline then across the forehead in gentle, stroking, effleurage movements until the client is relaxed. (See Level 2 "Hair and scalp conditioning" for additional massage information.)
3 Move to the corner of the eyes and rotate the skin in a petrissage movement then continue with the same movements above the nose. Gentle tapotement (tapping movements) can be used under the eyes so that the skin is not pulled.
4 Next, stroking effleurage movements are used from the temple down and round the cheekbone to the side of the nostril base. The hands are then turned so that the backs are together with the palms facing outwards. Carry this movement on up the sides of the nose ending between the eyebrows.
5 Placing the third finger of each hand on the side of the nostrils, use small, circular movements up the sides of the nose to help to unblock the pores.
6 With the tips of the fingers held together, gently stroke from the upper lip sliding the fingers sideways and diagonally upwards towards the outer corner of the eye finishing with a circular effleurage movement around the bony part of the eye socket.
7 The lower part of the face is massaged using the flat of the hands in a circular movement from the mouth out towards the ear then from below the mouth to under the ears.
8 The top of the chin and jawline can be massaged by rotatory petrissage movements but tapotement or vibratory movements are more suitable for fleshy or double chins.
9 Finish the massage by rolling the skin upwards between the thumb and the forefinger from the chin to the forehead.
10 Complete the treatment with another hot towel followed by a cool towel and/ or an astringent to close the pores and tighten the skin. Finally, a light dusting of powder, cream or lotion may be applied depending on the personal preference of the client.

Using vibro massage
This is a mechanical massage with very strong tapotement movements. It can be used in place of a manual hand massage but it is only suitable for the fleshy areas. Great care must be taken when using the vibro on bony areas such as the jawline and forehead as it can be very uncomfortable for the client and it
must never be used on the nose and around the eyes.
If the vibro is used to replace some of the hand massage movements, it should be used in 
the same order and direction as the massage movements that it is replacing
