Text Appearing Before Image:
muscles are best fedwhen exercising, explains why a treatment should be deepenough to affect them. Merely skimming over a surfacethat has been thickly coated with cream is not massage.It may be called a superficial rubbing but that is all. Manipulation so deep that it discolors the flesh andmakes the muscles sore is even worse, because instead ofbuilding up it breaks down the tissue by producing a per-manent soreness and develops sagging and flabbinessthereby. The happy medium must therefore be sought, and bythat is meant the massage that is given with an under-standing of the muscular development as well as of theblood and nerve supply. This form of massage means a thorough treatment, nota skimming over the surface nor a punching process, but amethod in which the skin is moved beneath the fingers, themuscles lifted, the blood supply stimulated, and the nervessoothed. True, a cream must be used, because otherwise the fric-tion caused by the contact of the fingers with the skin 141 A,

THE SKIN 143 would produce an irritation, but there should never be morethan just enough cream to allow the fingers to move slowlyover the face. Too much makes it impossible to more thanslide over the surface. Only a small amount of cream can be absorbed andhence the operator should use due care not to be solavish in her application that she defeats the real purposeof her work. Persons with fleshy faces need, of course, more vig-orous treatment. Kneading the tissues is here quite neces-sary and deeper pressure must be used, being careful alwaysto work against the blood supply. When the faces are thinner, lighter work is indicated,followed by a generous application of cream and a prolongeduse of the red light. Extremely sensitive skins sometimes become irritatedunder even the lightest treatment but these are exceptionsto the rule. In general, massage may be said to be a benefit to everyskin excepting where on finding an exceptionally irritatedcondition. MASSAGE PRODUCES THESE RESULTS 1
