MO by Faucheur Paris: a tailor-made facial massage near the Arc de Triomphe

Surely you're familiar with this ancestral Japanese facial massage, Kobido, renowned for its natural lifting and revitalizing effect, thanks to movements performed by hand? In the 17th arrondissement, near the Arc de Triomphe, the Faucheur family has added its own touch and developed its own method for effective skin care. Aline and her daughters Margot and Othilie want to"make the face happy and beautiful, and help it to mature beautifully beyond the years".

Here, no two massages are the same, because this family method is made-to-measure, adapted to each skin and face according to its needs, with different products and maneuvers, making this moment of relaxation a personalized moment, just for you. And this is greatly helped by the venue, which is particularly bright and open to the capital's skyline, in a beautiful duplex, a former 19th-century artist's studio, both uncluttered and full of good energy.

Comfortably ensconced under a heated blanket in a small, intimate room, Othilie takes care of our problems, while offering a warm chat if you so wish. In fact, she can tell at a glance whether you're grumpy or full of joy on a day-to-day basis, thanks to your facial expressions. A relaxing moment, which can sometimes be slightly painful when certain muscles are called upon, but that doesn't stop some people from falling asleep!

Over the course of an hour, the fifty or so muscles of our face are put to work, muscles that are constantly at work without us even realizing it. Every square centimeter of our face, from the jawbones to the forehead, is released from its daily wear and tear, thanks to deep drainage maneuvers and relaxing gestures for the face, neck and décolleté, for a complete treatment.

This improves blood and lymph circulation, smoothes wrinkles, tones sagging areas and relaxes contracted ones, and boosts collagen and elastin production.

You'll leave on a high, with skin that looks as good as new, full of life and almost youthful, as cheeks are plumped up for a few hours, the treatment giving more volume under the skin. While your wrinkles and bags under the eyes obviously haven't disappeared forever, the benefits of massage last between two weeks and a month. And the more regularly you massage your face, the easier it is to reawaken cellular memory!

In fact, if you want to slow down the ageing process, it's advisable to take advantage of it once a month for maintenance, but depending on your age, a preventive session from time to time is enough, not forgetting self-massages, which never hurt!
