Kobido facial massage

Have you heard of the Kobido Facial Massage? Are you curious to know what it is about and if it is for you?

Kobido Facial Massage is an ancient Japanese technique that has gained popularity around the world due to its notable skin and well-being benefits.

Give us just a few minutes of your time and we will tell you, first-hand, what it is like, what benefits it has and why it has become one of our clientele’s favorite treatments. You dare?

Origin of the Kobido Facial Massage

The Kobido Facial Massage has its origins in Japan. Some sources indicate that it was practiced among samurai to relax after battles. For many years, Kobido massage was only available to the Japanese royal family and nobility.

It was not until 1984 that Doctor Mochizuki, heir to an important family of Japanese doctors, moved to North America and there, he began to practice and teach the art and technique of this sensational massage.

The Kobido Facial Massage

Its main characteristic is the rejuvenating effect it has on the face and neck, hence it is also known as a Japanese facelift. Due to its technique, it promotes the natural production of collagen and elastin. It is a very energizing massage, which, to the surprise of our clients, produces a wonderfully calming effect.

Combine the massage with the use of oils and facial sprays with aromas that transport you to places from which you feel you never want to return. After a few simple questions, the specialist will determine what type of products best adapt to the specific needs of each client. Always taking into account the nature of the skin to be treated, whether oily, dry, combination, sensitive, ultrasensitive…

The Kobido Facial Massage treats those areas that may concern us, as it reduces expression lines and increases the firmness and luminosity of the skin. The specialist can influence the areas to be treated. At the end of the massage, our clients tell us that they initially opted for this massage as an aesthetic treatment, but that the experience of deep well-being obtained with the massage also makes it a therapeutic treatment. With the addition of the peace of mind of not undergoing any invasive procedure.

What is the Kobido Facial Massage?

As we always say, each person is a world. And every massage too. Life habits, mood, diet, among other factors, influence each person to feel the massage differently.

In the case of the Kobido Facial Massage, the treatment begins with the application of a hot compress to the face. The skin is cleansed, relaxed, and prepared to receive the benefits of this massage. Starting with the upper part of the chest, shoulders and neck, the professional performs with her hands a series of quick percussive movements that are very pleasant for the person receiving them.

There are professionals who also use tools in addition to their hands, such as a jade stone or rose quartz roller. At Zenia Natural, our specialist prefers in this case to use her hands to work on the skin and deep tissue.

What is an acupuncture facelift?

It is an aesthetic acupuncture technique that consists of using acupuncture to rejuvenate the skin of the face and neck and attenuate, even making disappear, the most obvious signs of aging, that is, wrinkles.

For this, small and fine needles are used, practically painless. These needles are inserted into the points that the specialist considers appropriate to increase blood flow in the area. So the body is balanced, the blocked points are unblocked and the energy flows again through the meridians.

Thanks to the needles inserted into the facial acupuncture points, blood flow is restored. Thus, the nutrients transported by the blood manage to improve both internal health and the external appearance of the treated area, in this case the face.

Facelift with Acupuncture

How does facial acupuncture arise?

Like many other discoveries in the field of medicine, the acupuncture facelift arose purely by chance.

A traditional Chinese medicine specialist was treating a patient with facial paralysis and observed that the previously paralyzed part had a better tone and fewer wrinkles than the rest of her skin.

So she began to treat this aesthetic problem using acupuncture. Thus demonstrating that it is a perfect technique to rejuvenate the face and neck of people who decide to undergo it.

How many sessions of acupuncture for facelift are recommended to obtain results?

Our acupuncture expert, Saray Martínez, recommends 5 facial acupuncture sessions to achieve the desired results, although she ensures that the effects are visible from the first session.

After finishing the treatment it is essential to take care of the treated skin. By avoiding exposing it to the sun without protection, using moisturizing creams suitable for our skin type, and keeping ourselves hydrated, we will make the effects last longer.

It is also advisable to do a reinforcement session. It depends on the person, the results you want to achieve and the condition of your skin. Although doing two booster sessions a year, starting the first year after full treatment, may be enough.

Up to two weekly sessions can be done, so the treatment does not take forever and the benefits and improvements in the skin of the neck and face are appreciated much sooner.

What are sulfates and parabens in shampoo?

What are sulfates and parabens in shampoo?

Surely, you are aware of the growing trend to use natural beauty and hygiene products free of sulfates and parabens, respectful with the environment and with our body. The health of your hair is no exception.

Silicones, sulfates and synthetic parabens are chemical products that usually are added to hair creams or products in order to extend the life of the product, increase the cleaning capacity and generate more foam, among others.

Various studies suggest that the use of common shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products such as hairspray and styling foams, can damage our scalp causing problems such as dryness, itching, excess oil and even eczema.

These reactions are mostly caused by silicones, sulfates and synthetic parabens, which are hidden on the labels after names that we will detail shortly.

What do sulfates, parabens and silicones do to the health of your hair?

The use of silicones, sulfates and synthetic parabens in hair hygiene products is very widespread since they are chemical substances, usually very cheap, on the other hand they do not need to include a large amount to achieve the desired effects and finally They are admitted by the European Legislation that regulates the manufacture of Cosmetics

Sulfates are cleansing agents that produce a lot of foam, but are harmful to our scalp as they irritate it and can even destroy its natural hydration. They are easily distinguished as they carry the word sulfate or sulfate. There are more skin-friendly sulfates with the suffix -eth (eg Sodium Laureth Sulfate).

Parabens are the cosmetic equivalent of insecticides. Chemicals that, added to beauty products, have a preservative effect. Your job is to make the shampoo free of fungi, bacteria or microorganisms. Parabens end in -parabens, -paraben or -paraben (eg Methylparaben or methylparaben).

Silicones have a “smoothing” effect and give hair an apparently healthy appearance. But only apparently, because in reality what they do is adhere to the hair fiber so that moisture, oxygen and the sun cannot pass through its barrier. This means that the hair does not receive what it needs to be healthy and hydrated. Silicones are easily identifiable as they end in –cone, -cona and –conol (eg dimethicone, dimethicone or methiconol).

How do you know if a shampoo has parabens?

Once we know what they are, what are the effects and how they affect the health of your hair, now we will give you some simple tips so that you can detect sulfates, silicones and parabens from the label that you will find in any of these products.

Sulfates are easily distinguished as they carry the word sulfate or sulfate. There are more skin-friendly sulfates with the suffix -eth (eg Sodium Laureth Sulfate).

Parabens end in -parabens, -paraben or -paraben (eg Methylparaben or methylparaben).

Silicones are easily identifiable as they end in –cone, -cona and –conol (eg dimethicone, dimethicone or methiconol).

What natural alternatives are there to traditional shampoo?

The hair cosmetics industry is betting on the creation of more natural and careful products with our hair and with which you will enjoy cleaner hair for longer, without silicones, parabens or harmful sulfates.

Products of vegetable origin, butters and oils (coconut, shea, olive) are being developed that are a perfect substitute for silicones. An alternative to the more harmful sulfates, especially for sensitive skin, is the use of products with sulfates derived from coconut or glycosides (eg Cocoglucoside or Sodium Cocoyl, among others).

There are also softer components of plant origin such as Saponaria or some clays. The alternative to parabens are organic acids and their salts (eg benzoic acid).

What will I notice when switching to a natural shampoo?

You will notice that your shampoo produces less lather, which does not translate into less cleaning. It will take a few washes for your hair to get used to this new type of cleaning, but our clients assure that, after a while, they notice healthier, shinier and definitely cleaner hair for longer.

At Zenia Natural you will find a large selection of cosmetic and hygiene brands, among them, try our range of Biopha products, free of all these harmful substances, natural and respectful of your body and the environment.
