โจ๐ Facials: From Ancient Healing to Modern Wellness ๐โจ
Facials werenโt always about vanity โ they began as medicine. Across cultures and centuries, caring for the face was seen as a way to heal, honor the body, and connect with spirit.
๐ฟ In Ancient Egypt, oils, clays, and massage were used as medicine for healing โ not cosmetics.
๐ฟ In Chinese Medicine, gua sha and facial massage released stagnation, supported flow, and promoted longevity.
๐ฟ In Ancient Greece, beauty was sacred. Oils, masks, and temple rituals honored the goddess within โ not to sell products.
๐ฟ In Ayurveda, the face was seen as a map of the body. Massage balanced the doshas and calmed the mind.
๐ฟ In Rome, women used honey, milk, and oils to nourish the skin for vitality โ not indulgence.
By the 1800s, these ancient rituals were rebranded as salon luxuries โ reserved for the wealthy. But today, science confirms what the ancients always knew:
โจ Facial massage relieves stress.
โจ Resets fascia.
โจ Restores balance to mind and body.
It is not โjust a facial.โ It is a return to ritual, wellness, and the sacred art of self-care. ๐๐โโ๏ธโจ
