Ready, Set, Glow! Introducing the Buccal Facial Massage

First news about facials is that it’s as essential as brushing your teeth.

Taking care of your body is vital to your overall health. I love a good facial and have been experiencing them for years! 

My love of facials started when I was 18 yrs old. The constant use of stage makeup in the Readyballet theater after shows was wreaking havoc on my skin


I’ve experienced many different types of facials offered all over the globe and my most recent experience with Buccal massage has me hooked. 

Buccal massage, the term is derived from the Latin word Bucca meaning cheek. It involves massaging muscles deep inside the cheek and jaw area. This releases tension, improves blood flow & circulation. Smooths out any stuck fascia under the skin from jaw clenching or teeth grinding. 

You are moving and smoothing out the fascia, plumping up your bodies natural collagen. This is definitely a facial you would want to experience with a trusted esthetician since their fingers are in your mouth.

If you’ve ever as a teen had orthodontic work just picture how at times your face gets stretched to accommodate the initial application of the braces.
