Читать книгу The Face Lift Massage: Rejuvenate Your Skin and Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles - Narendra Mehta - Страница 14

The skin is not only a barrier but also the main link between the body and the outside world, so its ability to monitor environmental conditions is of great importance. The skin houses nerve endings and receptors that detect stimuli related to temperature, touch, pressure, and damage. These nerve endings trigger impulses that travel to the central nervous system (CNS) to keep the brain informed about your surroundings, so you can make the appropriate response, such as pulling your hand away from a hot object. The connections between the skin and the nervous system are especially important during a massage. Even the lightest of touches is registered by the brain and has a direct and immediate influence on your state of mind and emotions; a pampering touch has a calming, soothing effect, while a firmer massage will leave you stimulated and invigorated.
