Kobido Facial Massage

The Japanese Kobido massage is an ancient technique that seeks to balance the body and mind through the use of precise and rhythmic movements in different parts of the body. The Japanese facial massage, also known as Kobido, is a variant of this type of massage that focuses on the face, neck, and décolleté area.

Kobido is an ancient Japanese method of facial massage that has been practiced for centuries. It is based on manual techniques and acupressure to improve the appearance of the skin and promote a feeling of general well-being.

The massage is done using the hands and fingers to work on the facial and neck muscles. As a complementary part, specific tools such as gua sha and rollers can be used to help relieve tension and improve circulation.

Kobido massage benefits include softer, smoother and more radiant skin, a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, and an improvement in skin tone and elasticity. It can also help reduce puffiness and dark circles, and promotes a sense of overall physical and emotional well-being.

In addition to improving the appearance of the skin, the Kobido facial massage can also help reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep. It is beneficial for people of all ages and skin types.
