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 physician Tokujiro Namikoshi developed the acupressure technique. , which, due to its effectiveness, was very much liked by many famous people.
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.
