Long time esthetician here to tell you that YES, you can get the same kind of tension relieving massage even when you have long nails. You just have to be a little creative in how you find the fascial adhesions in the face. I find knuckles to be amazing tools for that fascia manipulation. The health of your skin is only as healthy as the underlying tissue, so it’s important to keep your fascia flexible, hydrated and well circulated.
Always use a little slip on the skin first - I always use one of my seaweed omega oils (about 2-3 drops is enough) so that I can glide without friction and feed my skin marine nutrients that help with skin repair and protection.
The whole massage can be done in as little as 10 minutes - we do similar rituals in my Skin Within Studio classes.
