How to properly do lymphatic drainage massage at home
Self-massage can be learnt from trainers or mastered from materials from the Internet. The main thing is to understand in which direction to lead the hand or tool. We all over the body there are so-called lines of least stretching (Langer lines), in the direction of which the skin stretches the least. If you move strictly along these lines, the skin will not deform and sag.
For the treatment, you’ll need a massage product to ease the friction, and you can also buy a roller or a natural stone massager such as a guasha.
It is very important to choose the right massage product: it should provide the right glide and at the same time not clog pores. Therefore, choose products without ingredients such as coconut oil. It is better to carry out manipulations on care products that are designed for the face.
Massage can be done with your hands or use special devices, such as a roller from quartz. But I advise you to stay away from jars: in inexperienced hands there is too high a risk of traumatising blood vessels and aggravating couperosis.
