Almost all massage practices require the use of lubricants. For example, lotions, gels, oils and more. Most specialists prefer to use cream for massage. It is chosen depending on which area needs to be massaged and what effect they want to achieve. It can be warming, moisturizing, anti-cellulite and others.

Today, choosing the right cream is not a problem at all - modern cosmetic companies offer a choice of completely different massage products. In addition, they have many advantages over oils.

Creams

Any lubricant for massage is designed to ensure that the hands glide gently over the body and do not cause discomfort to the person. After all, without additional hydration, such a procedure can cause not only unpleasant sensations, but even painful ones. Massage cream is perfect for lubricating your hands.

Thanks to it, the specialist can perform massage movements without any additional effort. He also has the ability to calculate the depth of rubbing and their effect on the skin. Light stroking is used for the preparatory stage of massage or relaxation of the body. More intense movements are needed for deep movements.

The main advantages of the cream

Compared to liquid lotions and oils, massage cream has a thicker and greasy consistency. This allows you to use it longer and more economically. In addition, the cream will cost much less than oil, since you can use it twice as long.

It is very important to maintain moisture on the skin at any time, and this is especially necessary in cold weather, when the skin is prone to drying out and chapping. That is why it is better to use cream for massaging the whole body. When applied to the epidermis, it will create an invisible protective layer and prevent moisture from evaporating.

The cream does not leave stains at all. And this is very important for the client and the master. The client does not have to get rid of stains on clothes. And the specialist will not need to often buy new towels and sheets for the massage parlor.

How to choose the right cream?

First you need to decide exactly what effect you want to achieve from the cream: just relax, moisturize the skin, get rid of cellulite or get an analgesic effect. And also decide what should not be in the cream: allergens, unloved odors, other components. If you approach the choice of cream correctly and draw up this simple list of requirements, you can minimize the search for the necessary product and find the ideal massage cream much faster.

It is important not to be afraid to experiment. For example, you have already found your best option, got used to it and use it regularly, buying several packs at once for future use. But! No matter how ideal this cream is, using only it for a long time can be harmful. From time to time the products need to be changed.

The range of massage creams is constantly updated with high-quality new products. Why deprive yourself and your clients of the opportunity to enjoy something new?

Time of year and cream

It is best to switch to another massage cream from the new season. In hot weather, you need to use light, non-greasy, and in winter - thick, with a fatty structure and with a warming effect. You should try to buy only high-quality creams from organic cosmetics, without harmful impurities such as parabens. The Belarusian company Vitex has a very good reputation in the cosmetics market. The cosmetics of this company are of quite high quality and biologically pure.

But even the safest cream can cause a skin reaction, dizziness or allergies in some people. That is why every massage parlor or individual specialist should have several different products in stock, including hypoallergenic and as neutral as possible.

Caution: allergen

Basic advice: try not to purchase creams containing nuts. Walnut is the most important allergen. If a client has a food intolerance to such a fruit, then creams with its extract will have a detrimental effect on his body. In addition, if a person is allergic, it is better to use a hypoallergenic drug for him so as not to risk it. You also need to pay attention to whether the cream contains fragrances (specific odor). A creamy aroma can also cause a negative reaction from the client: headache, nausea, vomiting, rash. Therefore, it is better if the massage cream is odorless or has a light neutral aroma.

Features of choice

When choosing a massage product, it is important to pay attention to the content of alcohols, parabens and mineral oils in the cream. These are the main skin irritants. It is better if your cream does not contain these components. But vitamins are very welcome. The main thing is to know which ones your skin needs. The most common is cream with vitamin A. Most often, this product is used for the face.

Should be chosen individually. It is necessary to take into account all the characteristics of the body and skin. Some women use anti-wrinkle cream instead. This is not always useful. After all, such a cream is completely unsuitable for young skin. Therefore, it is better to entrust your face to a professional.

Conclusion

Only creams, thanks to their oily base, can perfectly moisturize and nourish the skin. And in combination with massage, the effect is multiplied several times.

Naturally, it is simply impossible to cover all worthy creams in one article. Cosmetic companies offer a wide variety of products for professional or self-massage. Therefore, by trial and error, you can find a cream that will meet all the necessary requirements.

For better sliding of hands over the massaged body, various means are used - talc, baby cream, aromatic oils, ointments,

special creams and gels for massage. You need to know in what cases this or that remedy can be used.

Talc has a good effect on the skin. It absorbs sweat and oil well, makes the skin smooth and almost never causes irritation. Another advantage of talc is that it is easily washed off with water. Talc is used for massage on oily and sensitive skin.

It is not recommended to use any massage products for certain mechanical damage to the skin (abrasions, scratches) and for skin diseases (dermatitis). If the skin is dry and flabby, then it is better to use products containing vegetable oils and glycerin. When giving a baby massage, it is better not to use massage products at all.

Previously, Vaseline was used during massage. Nowadays it is practically not used, since it stains the skin, clogs the excretory ducts of the skin glands, disrupting metabolic processes.

Many experts advise doing massage only on dry skin. Of course, such a massage has a number of advantages: the pores of the skin are opened and cleansed of fat, sweat, lard, and there is also a rapid flow of blood to the massaged area. Dry massage cannot be done for a long time, as vigorous rubbing may cause abrasions and scratches, especially on sensitive skin.

In therapeutic massage, various ointments, gels and creams are often used for injuries and certain diseases. Depending on the properties of the ingredients included in their composition, these products have different effects on the massaged areas. A number of ointments cause tissue hyperemia, that is, increased blood flow into the area of ​​rubbing. Such ointments include finalgon, efkamon, gymnastogol.

When rubbing these ointments, the patient feels a surge of warmth in the massaged area, as well as a slight burning and tingling sensation. Blood flow to the diseased area helps accelerate metabolic processes, which is beneficial for healing.

There are ointments that have anti-edematous and anti-inflammatory effects. These include venoruton, heparin ointment, lazonil and a number of other ointments.

With injuries, painful swelling occurs due to damage to small vessels, tissue hypoxia and increased capillary permeability. Along with this, blood circulation and, accordingly, regeneration, that is, tissue healing, deteriorate. Special ointments, gels and creams help relieve pain, reduce irritation and relieve inflammation.

The massage therapist must know where and when to apply this or that ointment. Thus, in case of acute injury, hyperemic ointments should not be used. In this case, a remedy that has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect is suitable. The composition of such ointments includes heparin, plant extracts, and antirheumatic agents. Also, for fresh injuries, you should not rub in ointment, but rather use gels that do not require active rubbing and have a cooling effect.

During the rehabilitation period after injury, ointments and creams are prescribed that do not have a strong irritating effect and improve microcirculation in tissues.

When using warming ointments, certain rules must be followed. First of all, you need to check whether the use of the ointment will cause an allergic reaction in the body. To do this, a small amount of ointment (0.5 cm) is applied to the skin.

If irritation does not appear, then apply 2-3 cm of ointment. After a burning sensation appears, the ointment is rubbed in. Pain may occur in the massaged area, then you can rub the ointment above or below this place.

The first massage session with warming ointment is best done in the evening, before bed. The next day, if tolerance is good, the same dose is applied three times - morning, afternoon, evening. On the third day only in the morning and evening, but the amount of ointment can be increased. After such a massage, the sore spot should be wrapped in a woolen cloth and not allowed to cool.

Ointments such as finalgon and dolpik, when rubbed, form a film on the skin that must be washed off before each rub. When using such ointments, you need to be careful and make sure that they do not get on the mucous membrane. After the procedure, you must wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap.

The massage technique using warming agents is as follows: first, a deep warming massage is performed and only after that ointment is applied and a massage is performed, starting with light techniques and ending with deep ones. Dry massage is done for 3-5 minutes, and with ointment - 2-4 minutes.

Folk remedies are often used for rubbing. For example, for inflammation of the joints, myositis, gout, rheumatism, use an infusion of birch buds in alcohol in a ratio of 1: 5. After 3-5 minutes of massage, this tincture is rubbed into the sore area.

For bruises, muscle pain, and lumbosacral radiculitis, horseradish root pulp is used. Grated horseradish is applied to the gauze in a layer of 0.5 cm. In order to deprive such a compress of the burning effect, the gauze with the gruel is dipped into hot water and quickly pulled out. The compress is placed on the sore area for 20-30 minutes.

Warming cream is a product that perfectly stimulates blood circulation in muscle tissue. Such drugs are used in cosmetology, as an anti-cellulite agent, in medicine in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, in sports, as a warming drug for muscle strains.

When such an ointment is applied to the skin, increased metabolism and blood circulation begin in the tissues. The muscles are warmed up, which helps them relax and eliminate spasms.

If we consider warming creams that are used in therapeutic
purposes, their action is aimed at relaxing and toning the nerve endings. Such remedies soothe, relieve pain and relax tense soft tissues.

What is better for massage, cream or oil?

If you contact a massage therapist, the specialist will use the product that is most convenient for him. When doing a self-massage, you can only choose a cream or oil experimentally, testing the properties of each on yourself. So, each product has both its advantages and disadvantages.

Facial massage is a procedure performed, as a rule, for the purpose of rejuvenation. The visible effect of skin manipulation is achieved only if special techniques are followed. In particular, all movements should be smooth, with the fingertips following the massage lines. However, complete adherence to the technique will not help if the cream is chosen incorrectly. It is extremely important for the procedure, as it provides easy gliding, softening the skin, increasing skin tone, and relieving tension. It is advisable to use a special cream rather than a regular one. It enhances the effect of massage.

Which facial massage cream to choose?

Massage creams are divided into types depending on the following characteristics:

• Scope of application (professional cosmetic products are purchased for salons).
• Compound.
• Effects (rejuvenating, moisturizing, toning).

Professional products

Professional creams have the following advantages:

• Impeccable glide without the use of additional lubrication.
• Possibility of adjusting the depth of rubbing.
• Thick consistency, which ensures economical use of the product.
