चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग स्नेहन किंवा मसाज

नमस्कार मी डॉक्टर सतीश वसंत शिंदाडकर आज आपण चेहऱ्याचे स्नेहन म्हणजे चेहऱ्याची मसाज कशी करावी आणि त्याचे काय फायदे आहेत ते बघणार आहोत

आपला चेहरा प्रसन्न असल्यास आपले व्यक्तिमत्व फुलते

चेहरा हेच सौंदर्याचे प्रतीक आहे म्हणून चेहऱ्याची मसाज

महत्त्वपूर्ण ठरते - - - - -   चेहऱ्यावर मालिश करताना अंगठा व जवळील दोन बोटांचा वापर करावा.

चेहऱ्याच्या मध्यभागा पासून म्हणजेच नाकपुड्यां पासून बाहेरच्या बाजूने मालिश करावी अतिरिक्त दाब देऊ नये

डोळ्यांच्या खोमणी भोवती स्नेहन करताना डोळ्यांवर दाब देऊ नये.

एक बोट खालच्या पापणी खाली ठेवावे व दुसरे बोट वरच्या पापणीवर अलगद ठेवावे व आतील नाकाच्या मुळापासून कोपऱ्यातून सुरुवात करून बाहेरच्या बाजूकडे अभ्यंग करावे

या क्रियेमुळे डोळ्यांचे स्नायू व त्यांना रक्तपुरवठा करणाऱ्या रक्तवाहिन्या / / / / मज्जातंतू यांची शक्ती वाढते

चेहऱ्याच्या अभ्यंगाने रक्ताभिसरण सुधारते

चेहऱ्यावरील सुरकुत्या कमी होतात  

नियमित चेहऱ्याची मसाज करत राहिल्याने

चेहऱ्यावरच्या सुरकुत्या उशिराने येतात - - -  चेहरा खुलून दिसतो थोडक्यात

आपले तारुण्य अधिक काळ टिकून राहते

चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग करण्यासाठी प्रामुख्याने शतावरी तेल

बला तेल - - - -   तीळ तेल - - -- -   अभ्यंग तेल यांचा वापर केला जातो

चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग रोज रोज करायचे नसते तर

हिवाळा आणि पावसाळा या दोन ऋतूंमध्ये तीन आठवड्यातून एकदा चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग करण्यास हरकत नाही

चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग केल्यानंतर तीस मिनिटांनी उटण्याद्वारे चेहरा स्वच्छ करावा आणि

त्या दिवशी उन्हात जाऊ नये. . . . .   किंवा जाणे अत्यंत गरजेचे असल्यास

चेहरा वस्त्रद्वारे आच्छादित करूनच बाहेर पडावे

जर चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग करून आपण उन्हात गेलात तर

चेहऱ्याला काळवंडी येऊ शकते म्हणून चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग केल्या नंतर

किमान एक दिवस पर्यंत उन्हात जाणे टाळावे अशा पद्धतीने

आपले व्यक्तिमत्त्व फुलवण्यासाठी चेहऱ्याची मसाज

महत्त्वपूर्ण आहे - - - - -   

चला तर मग आज पासून आपण वर्षभरातून किमान

सात वेळा तरी चेहऱ्याचे अभ्यंग करू या

Face Abhyanga Massage Benefits, Technique, Oils and Care Tips for Healthy Glowing Skin

A tired face often needs more than a face wash or cream. Face abhyanga, or gentle facial oil massage, is a simple Ayurvedic self-care practice that supports softness, relaxation and a natural glow when done correctly.

This practice is not a medical treatment, but it can become a calming daily or weekly ritual for healthier-looking skin and a fresher expression.

Why face abhyanga matters

Facial massage helps improve surface circulation, relaxes tight facial muscles and supports better absorption of oil. It may also reduce the dull, dry feeling that comes with stress, lack of sleep or seasonal changes.

Regular, gentle abhyanga can help with:

Softness and nourishment for dry skin

A relaxed jaw, forehead and eye area

Better facial awareness and posture

A fresh, rested look

A calming habit before bath or bedtime

The key is light pressure. The skin on the face is delicate, so forceful rubbing can do more harm than good.

The right method for facial abhyanga

Start with clean hands and a clean face. Take a few drops of warm oil in the palm and spread it evenly.

Use slow upward and outward strokes:

Begin at the chin and move towards the ears.

Massage the cheeks in small circles.

Move from the centre of the forehead towards the temples.

Use gentle strokes around the mouth and jawline.

Finish with light tapping using fingertips.

For the thumb and two-finger technique, place the thumb below the jawline and the index and middle fingers above it. Glide from the chin towards the ears. This supports the jaw area and gives controlled pressure without pulling the skin.

Around the eyes, be extra careful. The eye socket area needs only feather-light touch. Use the ring finger or little finger, not the thumb. Do not press directly on the eyeball. Move around the bony rim of the eye socket with minimal oil, and avoid getting oil into the eyes.

Best oils for face abhyanga

Choose oil according to skin type and season.

Skin type or season	Suitable oils
Dry skin	Sesame oil, almond oil, ghee in a very small amount
Sensitive skin	Coconut oil, rose-infused oil, mild almond oil
Oily or acne-prone skin	Light jojoba oil, aloe-based oil blend, very small quantity
Winter	Warm sesame or almond oil
Monsoon	Light coconut or jojoba oil, used sparingly

Patch test first, especially if the skin reacts easily.

How often to do it in winter and monsoon

In winter, dryness is common, so face abhyanga can be done 3 to 4 times a week, or daily if the skin accepts oil well.

During the monsoon, humidity and sweat can clog pores. Keep it lighter. 1 to 2 times a week is usually enough. Use less oil and cleanse properly afterwards.

Care after facial abhyanga

After 10 to 15 minutes, wipe the face with a warm, damp cloth. If needed, wash with a mild cleanser.

Follow these simple care steps:

Avoid harsh scrubs immediately after massage.

Do not step into strong sun with oil on the face.

Use a light moisturiser if the skin still feels dry.

Drink water and rest the face from heavy makeup for a few hours.

A glowing face also reflects daily habits. Sleep well, sit upright, smile often, speak gently and keep the jaw relaxed. A pleasant expression is part of personality care, just like clean skin and neat grooming.

FAQ

Can face abhyanga be done daily?

Yes, if the skin is dry or normal and responds well. For oily or acne-prone skin, limit it to once or twice a week.

Which oil is best for glowing skin?

Sesame oil suits dry skin, while almond oil gives good nourishment. Coconut or jojoba oil may suit lighter needs.

Should I massage pimples?

No. Avoid active acne, cuts, rashes or irritated areas. Let the skin heal first.

Can I do face abhyanga at night?

Yes. Night is a good time because the face can rest after massage. Clean off excess oil before sleeping.

A gentle face abhyanga routine can refresh both skin and mood. Keep the touch soft, choose the right oil and let the practice become a quiet moment of self-respect.
