Non-Surgical Facials: What is Kobido Facial Massage?
Our skin is a direct reflection of what's happening inside our bodies. Generally, the healthier the internal environment, the better our skin looks.
Let's use the science of Integrative Medicine to increase your glow and skin elasticity:
Try myofascial tissue release
Fascia is the connective tissue that glides over muscles, running from the top of our heads to our toes.
Kobido facial massage is a Japanese technique that reduces muscle tension and fascial stickiness in the head, neck and jaw that increases wrinkles and reduces elasticity. Think of it like a pleasurable alternative to foam-rolling your face.
Pay attention to your digestion
Our assimilation of the outside environment with food, vitamins, and minerals happens through the digestion.
If you're noticing reflux, gas, bloating, stools that aren't snake-like or smooth with small cracks then you aren't absorbing your nutrients properly. You could need a probiotic, more fiber, digestive enzymes or a more specific protocol with herbs.
Dial down the caffeine and alcohol
Both are incredibly dehydrating to the body, and dehydration = more wrinkles and less elasticity.
Alcohol is a toxin that requires major detoxification through the liver (and if your liver is busy detoxifying alcohol it can't detoxify other contaminants like heavy metals, environmental toxins, or excess hormones). We recommend limiting caffeine to one cup of coffee each day and less than 3 alcoholic drinks per week consumed on different days.
Our approach to Integrative Medicine is from the inside out. We combine highly curated internal and external services to achieve superb, long-lasting results from harnessing our bodies' own innate healing mechanisms.
