A Holistic Treatment for For the Face

People want to look young and healthy well into their retirement yearsInformed consumers are shopping for holistic methods to maintain their skin’s appearanceSkin Manipulation is a healthy choice for bringing vitality and tone to the face.This technique does not include surgical procedures, laser instruments or chemical peels.


Contraindications, Conditions

• Cancer – past or present• Viral disease, fever• Sinus infection – not sinusitis• Thrombosis (blood clot)• Heart disease – be careful• Tuberculosis, hepatitis• Inflamed acne or unidentified skin rash• Be careful with diabetics, high blood pressure,

thyroid issues, systemic lupus• Watch for food allergies (always ask!)• Common skin conditions (see manual)


What happens as we age?

If we’re not careful to protect our skin as we age…– Skin looses elasticity and tone– Lymph moves slower– Energy gets blocked– Muscles sag– Metabolism slows down


The Healing Effects of Skin Manipulation

• Tones muscles

• Facial circulation is improved, capillaries are strengthened

• The facial lymph system is cleansed

• Stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin

• Releases facial tension and deep lines

• Pressure points liberate blocked energy patterns


What’s below the epidermis, dermis & subcutaneous fat?


Active skin manipulation…

• Increasing blood flow which nourishes, cleanses and brings oxygen to the skin cells

• Improving lymph drainage in the skin

• Encourages cell rejuvenation via oil and Honeylift


Circulation - Fresh Blood Brings Life

Blood bathes every cell with

fresh oxygen and nutrients,

just what it needs to

maintain itself through a

complex system of veins,

arteries and capillaries.

Skin manipulation moves blood through congested

tissues, removing lactic acid and other waste material.


The Lymph System Cleanses

• Cleansing lymph fluid moves throughout our bodies mainly through the activity of our skeletal muscles, through skin manipulation or massage.

• Egg shaped strokes under the eyes and along the jaw line move lymph fluid decreasing puffiness and fluid retention.

• All lymph strokes are light, with a slight and gentle “push-pull” pumping action.


3 Step Plan

For the highest level of facial rejuvenation, the Bellanina Institute recommends…

1.A series approach to firming and toning

2.At-home care that includes facial exercises, home masks and high potency at-home skin care products with active ingredients

3. Anti-inflammatory diet, supplements and lots of good water.


Review: Why Does It Work So Well?

• Facial circulation is improved, capillaries are

strengthened

• The facial lymph system is cleansed

• Stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin

• Release of facial tension and deep lines

• Pressure points liberate blocked energy patterns

• Repetition creates new holding patterns

(Muscles have “memory”)
