Moreover, you should pay attention to the number and functionality of the nozzles included in the kit, since they are in contact with the skin. Moreover, having decided on a specific model, it is recommended to read reviews about it on the Internet.

How to use a body massager

There are no identical usage rules for all massagers. Nevertheless, there are fundamental principles, based on which, it is possible to determine whether the massage procedure is carried out correctly or not by each specific device.

Firstly, the main principle when working with any massager, so that it benefits, is the relaxation of the massaged part of the body. This means that during the massage should not cause any unpleasant sensations. If there are any, then the massage is not performed correctly, or this area cannot be massaged in this mode.

Secondly, when massaging a large area of ​​the body, for example, legs, buttocks, back, and so on, you should start with larger areas of the body and then move to smaller ones. Massaging the area should take place, gradually moving from the center to the outer area.

Thirdly, it is necessary to alternate the pressure with which massage heads acts on the body. You should start with the lung, gradually increasing it. Moreover, during the massage, rhythms should be alternated, and the procedure should be completed with soft movements.

Fourth, you can never massage the areas in which the lymph nodes are located.

When massaging specific areas of the body, you must adhere to the following sequence:

• hands are massaged from the hand to the elbow, from the elbow to the shoulder;
• legs are massaged from the foot to the knee, gradually moving to the inguinal region;
• the neck is massaged from top to bottom;
• the chest area is masked from the bottom up.

Following these simple rules, you can work with almost any device. Before using a specific model, you should familiarize yourself with the instructions, since each species has its own individual characteristics.

Facial massager: what varieties and rules of use

The choice of a device for a person largely depends on its intended purpose. Such devices for the face are of several types, namely:

Before the session, the skin must be prepared. To do this, clean it with any foam or cleanser. It is best to conduct a session after a shower, when the skin is steamed.

After cleaning the skin should be treated with a nutritious or vitamin tonic, which will enhance the effectiveness of the massage, then carry out the procedure and then apply a protective cream or face mask suitable for the type of skin on the skin.

The choice of massagers for legs: varieties, prices and purpose

Devices designed for legs - an excellent tool for relieving fatigue, relaxing the foot. This is especially true for those who are engaged in physically active labor or whose specific work is associated with constant tension of the legs. However, this type of device has one more purpose. The fact is that the feet contain a large number of biologically active points. Their stimulation affects various organs and systems of the body, including the nervous system.

Such devices are divided into at least two groups (depending on the type of drive):

• electric;
• mechanical.

Devices with an electric drive are equipped with an engine. They can work either from a network 220, or from the battery.

Mechanical ones can be made in the form of a wide variety of devices — a roller, a wheel, a slipper, a ball, and so on (for example, “tetracom”). It is very simple to apply them, but they do not have such a wide range of effects on the body as electric ones. However, such devices are very cheap, since they are often made of wood or of safe plastic (for example, “Pharaoh”).

• vibrational (such a device is a platform with a vibrating part. The device can be equipped with several vibration modes as well as a whole set of functional capabilities);
• combined (devices that combine several of the above types. Often cost more than the average price category).
