Effects of Massage on the Skin

The immediate effects of massage are noticeable on the skin. Various massage movements heighten blood circulation to the skin and increase activity of the sweat (sudoriferous) and oil (sebaceous) glands.

Accompanying the increased flow of blood, there is a slight reddening and warming of the skin. Nutrition to the skin is improved. Massage treatments over a period of time impart a healthy radiance to the skin. The skin tends to become softer, more supple, and of finer texture.
