I wonder how much of the value of moisturizing is from massaging the tissue and working waste into the lymphatic or circulatory systems for disposal.

- meristohm 3y agoI've been wondering this, too, and remembering back to childhood when my mom advised always moving from extremities inward towards the heart (sunscreen, toweling off, etc).
- _Microft 3y agoIsn't that because moving away from the heart would force blood back against venous valves, possibly doing damage to them?
- AnEro 3y agoFor aestetics little to none, for overal health and bloating probably better than with think but not as much as we'd like
- femto 3y agoYou could test this by comparing people who wet shave daily with those who don't. Lathering on the skin during wet shaving delivers an incidental massage.
