What is the primary goal of a facial massage?

To beautify the skin
To stimulate metabolism and circulation
To remove impurities
To promote relaxation only

The correct answer is: To stimulate metabolism and circulation

The primary goal of a facial massage is to stimulate metabolism and circulation. By performing a facial massage, the therapist enhances blood flow to the skin, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients, promoting healthier skin. This increased circulation can lead to improved skin tone and texture, as the skin receives the necessary components to repair and rejuvenate itself. While beautifying the skin and removing impurities are beneficial outcomes of facial treatments, they are secondary effects of the underlying physiological processes stimulated by massage. Promoting relaxation is also a component of facial massage, but the primary focus is on the stimulation of metabolic processes and circulation to achieve broader benefits for both the skin and overall well-being.
