[REVIEW] MISSHA CHO BO YANG MASSAGE CREAM and What do massage creams do for your face?



Do you ever go into stores and always see massage creams BUT dont know the benefits? Or maybe just wondering what benefits massage creams do for you? 
                               I'll give you the details you need!!!

 First some information <3 

"THE PLAINEST BEAUTY tricks are usually the best, but they tend to be obvious and overlooked. Facial massage is all of these: easy, intuitive and mostly absent from skin-care routines even though it can be a great alternative to invasive treatments like Botox. Like the rest of your body, your face has many muscles, and like your shoulders or back, it gets tight and holds on to stress.
This type of massage has long been a secret weapon of aestheticians (think of all that stroking and swirling during a facial) and makeup artists, who often give clients a face rub before sending them down a catwalk or red carpet.

"By relaxing muscles and connective tissue, massaging the face softens expression-induced lines around your eyes, lips and brows, helps expel acne-causing toxins and de-puffs and brightens the eye area, according to London facialist-to-the-fancy Abigail James."

Inflamed skin conditions

"Massage can greatly benefit acne, rosacea and other inflamed skin conditions. Acne is a wound to the skin, and increasing blood flow encourages the healing process. Many skin care professionals are taught to avoid massage with acne clients because of the risk of cross-contamination and overstimulation. Although this is a valid concern and many traditional massage techniques are not appropriate for acne sufferers, light manipulation for a short period of time increases blood flow, which brings oxygen to the skin, killing the anaerobic bacteria responsible for breakouts and providing significant improvement. Similar to acne, rosacea and other sensitive skin conditions involve chronic inflammation, which also benefits greatly from the enhanced circulation associated with massage. When dealing with acne and other inflamed conditions, limit massage time to no more than 10 minutes."



REVIEW FOR MISSHA CHO BO YANG MASSAGE CREAM


Ava -  At first I was very skeptical about face massage creams because I had never used one before and being a fan of Missha skin care products I had decided to try it out. The product comes in a fancy big container. The texture is a bit sticky at first but upon massaging it melts into the skin like butter. The smell is very herbally and i didn't like it at first but i became accustomed to it and began liking the smell.

This product says with constant use, your skin will become more clear, moisturized and firm. This product helps with softening, smoothing, firms and reduces fine lines, lifts the skin, helps remove dead skin cells to create glowing skin and most importantly removes toxins and wastes in the skin to promote healthy clear acne, blemish free skin.

This product also uses really good ingredients such as
-korean ginseng extract- (Free skin of toxins, the skin can gain a clear glowing complexion)
-cordyceps militaris extract- (helps inflammation(helps reduce acne), soothes rosacea, sunburned skin)
-deer antler extract- (helps maintain elasticity of the skin)
-pure gold extract- (helps aging skin, firming, smoothing wrinkles)

Usage- After washing face, apply quarter sized amount and massage onto skin. (always massage outwards and up because inappropriate application of skincare can cause double chin and wrinkles) Massage 5-10 minutes if you have sensitive and up to 20 minutes if you dont.)

After using for 3 months-
          My skin most definitely felt a lot more clear, a lot of people commented on my skin saying that it was glowing <3 After using it just even once you will feel that your skin is more moisturized, smooth and soft and it felt really bouncy. (I ran to my boy friend telling him to "TOUCH IT! TOUCH MY FACE!!! lol") Im not sure if it helped with wrinkle care or fine lines because i do not have much. (in my 20's and i have combination skin) Another thing i have realized is that i seem to be getting less acne and my pores have gotten smaller!!! Maybe it is the Missha's First essence treatment and naruko Pore refining lotion that i am using together as well :)


Overall

Pro's- Smoother, clearer skin, gives elasticity, moisturizing and rids toxins (less acne)

Cons- maybe just the smell if you dont like the herbal scents.

Personal Review 

Problems:

 - I have those spray mist that is for people with dry skin but none of those compare to this product    because I don't feel that those "mist" absorbs in my skin. This product is jelly like texture feels like water when sprayed on skin.

- NOT STICKY
- Hydrating and absorbs to skin quickly
