What is Japanese facial massage?

The ancient path to beauty, Kobido, is based on the balance between body, mind, and spirit. The system of refined, precisely planned treatments relies on traditional Chinese medicine. Initially, this skincare ritual was reserved only for the empress. Over time, it became part of tradition, much like the tea ceremony. Regular use of the benefits of Kobido massage art is considered the secret of beauty for many women around the world.
Deep manual massage affects 50 facial muscles as well as all layers of body tissues. The combination of a series of fast and slow hand movements, according to strictly determined rules, improves blood circulation. Its aim is to rejuvenate the skin by restoring its elasticity naturally.

What does the skincare ritual look like?

Are you curious about how a qualified masseur conducts the skincare ritual according to the art of Kobido? The facial massage procedure follows a strictly defined order:

  1. Relieving deep muscle tension, which helps reduce wrinkles.
  2. Inducing relaxation in the person being massaged to reduce stress.
  3. Improving lymph flow to eliminate possible swelling.
  4. Intensive, natural lifting, firming the facial skin and providing the effect of younger-looking, radiant complexion.
  5. Stimulation of the correct points on the face according to acupressure principles, positively influencing muscle function.

The masseur sculpts the face, taking into account all nuances of texture, curvature, and skin elasticity. Muscles are massaged parallel to the wrinkles. This is done by kneading every square centimeter. As a result, there is:

  • improvement in facial muscle tone and oxygenation of the epidermis,
  • drainage of excess fluid along with toxins,
  • delivery of nutrients to tissues,
  • stimulation of elastin and collagen production, consequently smoothing wrinkles.

During the massage, natural plant oils are used, which effectively moisturize and nourish the skin. The harmonious combination of a relaxing ritual with the nourishing effect of organic active ingredients, individually matched to the skin type, proves to be an effective way to slow down the passage of time.

What are the benefits of the massage?

The increasingly popular Kobido technique is much more than a classic facial massage. It is a traditional holistic art that brings many benefits for the body and mind. The complex choreography of massaging movements, combined with drainage and acupressure, leads to erasing traces of fatigue and stress. Restoring harmony to the facial features, pore tightening, skin structure densification, and complexion brightening provide the effect of a younger and radiant appearance. Natural lifting is not the only benefit you can expect.

Kobido massage also positively impacts body and mind health:

  • provides relaxation and well-being,
  • reduces effects of bruxism,
  • soothes headaches,
  • reduces facial stiffness,
  • eliminates some digestive system problems,
  • improves eyesight.

The high effectiveness of Kobido massage results not only from specific techniques but also from the organic oil formulas used during treatments. They contain selected ingredients from Japan, such as antioxidant-rich green tea, Japanese plum with numerous minerals, and Japanese knotweed, preventing skin inflammations.
