A SIMPLE RITUAL
Self-massage is a very simple procedure that can be done at home and takes little time. Fifteen minutes every day is enough to make a difference. Although a whole body treatment is preferable, if you are short on time, choose to massage the head, ears and feet first.
The choice of oil
