Probably , almost every woman dreams of finding some miracle remedy to say goodbye to wrinkles. Therefore, on the eve of the New Year, I prepared a gift for my readers: the elixir of youth is in our hands! Did you think that there is a magic pill / cream / serum or injection that can turn back time? For some period , of course , you can quickly improve the appearance of the face , using injections. And then what?
I'll get straight to the point. To the way that will help you return to your face a fresher appearance day after day. immediate results , of course. After all, the skin lost its tone for more than one month and even more than one year.
Acupressure
Those who been on my channel for a long time know: I really respect acupuncture. At one time, only this returned the mobility of my husband's face after neuritis of the facial nerve: for 2 weeks half of his face was paralyzed , and only reflexology ( in the hands of an oriental practitioner) returned full-fledged facial expressions without consequences!
In matters of beauty, acupuncture is also effective. Why? I'll give you the arguments. But to begin with , that at home , of course , we don’t use needles , but our own fingers - this is also reflexology. After all, the points can be affected not only by pricking , but also by pressing and massaging.
The principle of action of acupressure
Each person has about 1.5 thousand biologically active points ( BAP). About 50 of them are on the face. By acting on points , we stimulate nerve receptors , and also influence energy channels.
Biologically active points differ from surrounding tissues. BAPs are vascular plexuses and nerve elements concentrated in one place , located at several levels deep in the skin.
In a sleeping person, BAP decreases in diameter to 1 mm. And during the period of wakefulness, it increases to 1 cm. In diseases, some active points can reach several centimeters in area.
What is the difference between a biologically active point and others:
- higher skin temperature;
- relatively low electrical resistance;
- higher electrical potential;
- accelerated uptake of oxygen;
- increased infrared radiation.
Curious fact!
Acupressure rejuvenating massage was used by Marilyn Monroe. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Japanese doctor Tokujiro Namikoshi developed acupressure technique , which many famous people liked very much due to its effectiveness.
What is the effectiveness of acupressure facial massage based on:
- in the affected area, the influx and outflow of blood increase;
- the outflow of lymph is also accelerated;
- the metabolism in the massaged area is activated;
- increases the speed of transmission of impulses;
- as a result, the excretion of lactic acid from the muscles is accelerated;
- the spasm of the facial muscles is removed ( and , accordingly , this allows the wrinkle to gradually smooth out over the relaxed muscle);
- the work of the glands and vascular tone is normalized;
- increases the elasticity of the skin.
With acupressure of the face, local BAPs are affected. These are such biologically active points that are associated primarily with facial muscles , and not with internal organs.
How to do acupressure
Hands should be warm , you can pre-rub your palms - this is also a healthy technique from Chinese health medicine.
Pressing - short ( 5-7 seconds) and tangible. But not to the point of pain.
Pressing is performed with fingertips. It is more convenient to use the pads of the middle fingers. Press on the point , making circular movements in place. That is, they pressed , massaged , released.
❗️Attention! Like any massage , acupressure also has contraindications. First of all, it is fever and diseases in the acute phase.
Wrinkle massage points
This massage , of course , intended primarily for the prevention of wrinkles. You can not get rid of deep creases with the help of acupuncture. But! If you perform this massage daily , then the condition of the face will gradually improve. Small wrinkles will be smoothed out , and you will prevent the appearance of new ones.
There are many techniques for acupressure of the face. I have chosen for you the most simple in execution. Only 12 points!
Massage can be performed in 1 time. It will take no more than 5 minutes. Some techniques can be performed several times a day. For example , if you want to get more effective prevention of nasolabial folds , then massage points 4 and 5 in the morning , afternoon and evening.
Point layout
1. From swelling around the eyes
We press points parallel to each other: 11 and 12. They are located on the side surfaces of the nose , closer to the inner corner of the eye.
Carefully! In these places, pressing can be painful. Don't push too hard.
2. From wrinkles on the forehead
Massage parallel points 1 and 2. They are 2 fingers above the base of the eyebrow.
3. From "nasolabial"
We massage 2 parallel points - 4 and 5. They are located 1 cm from the wings of the nose.
It is important to immediately press these points confidently and strongly enough. Hold your fingers for a bit and then massage.
Complete the massage from the nasolabial folds by massaging point 3. It is located in the center between the eyebrows.
4. From wrinkles around the mouth
Massaging parallel points:
6 and 7 ( located near the corners of the lips at a distance of a finger);
8 and 9 ( located under the nostrils).
And finish by massaging point 10 - in the recess under the lower lip.
Recommendation from me personally. If you want to achieve a more pronounced result , then be sure to take care of the neck and posture , as well as the tendon helmet. After all, they are primarily responsible for how our face looks.
Wrinkles are formed primarily due to spasmodic muscles. Of course , acupressure helps to relax them. But in order for the spasms not to come back , and the muscles themselves to stretch well and become elastic , it is necessary to do posture exercises , stretch the neck and “pull the helmet on”.
