Although all types of massage have common characteristics:

During the massage, the plate is held slightly tilted to the surface of the skin. When massaging the face, the movements should be smoother and slower so as not to damage the sensitive areas of the eyelids, lips, and wings of the nose. The massage session lasts about 30 minutes.
Before a massage, you should cleanse your skin of cosmetics and impurities. Then apply oil or massage cream. Experts recommend using special cosmetics for massage. You should wash off the cosmetic after the massage.
