5 steps to make a good hand massage

1. Heats up: To begin, both the person who is going to receive the massage and who is going to give it should be comfortable and relaxed. You have to put some oil on your hands and rub them to warm them.
2. Relaxation: Start by making gentle movements using the palms of your hands and going from the center of the palm to the fingers. This can be repeated as many times as desired.
3. Pressure: Place your thumb on the palm of the other person's hand, exert a moderate force and concentrate on the muscles in small circles. Repeat this step but using the knuckles of the hand instead of the thumb. Then with your index finger runs the tendons on the back of the hand, finishing gently between the skin of the fingers.
4. Release stress: Take the whole hand from side to side and squeeze gently; Repeat two or three times. Then use your fingers as if they were a ring, take finger by finger and go through squeezing gently.
5. Circles: Gently take the person's wrist with one hand and the rest of the hand with the other and make slow movements from top to bottom, such as the feet when they press the accelerator of the car. Check out an example in the following video from marie-clarie.es:

Remember that you should not massage people who have skin diseases or infections that affect the area. It is also important to be careful with allergies to the possible oils that are used. A hand massage should never hurt anyone.

Finally, when you apply your hand cream, perform a massage from the tips of the fingers to the wrist, with circular movements and very gently. If you want an intense relaxation effect, use an almond oil to give you the massage or lavender oil. And you, are you ready to do a hand massage?
