5 points of beauty on the face

Shiatsu acupressure is one of the types of Japanese massage that has long been practiced in oriental medicine. Pressing on certain points on the face causes muscle relaxation, improves blood circulation and increases lymph outflow.

Regular acupressure of the face in the morning and evening relieves fatigue and swelling, tightens the skin and eliminates noticeable signs of age. In this case, it is enough to stimulate only five special points of beauty on the face. The whole procedure will take no more than three minutes.

You need to press on the points strictly perpendicular to the surface of the skin without rubbing or twisting movements. The pressure intensity is moderate, up to slight discomfort at the point of impact.

Excessive pressure can lead to the opposite effect – the muscle will not relax, but, on the contrary, will become more tense.

Before you start working with your face, you need to cleanse the skin of makeup and impurities. You can additionally make a steam bath – heated muscles are more susceptible to exposure.

A point of healthy complexion and high cheekbones

Place your middle or ring finger on the notch located on your cheekbone. If you can’t find it, put three fingers – ring, middle and index – on the cheekbone from the wing of the nose. The hole will be exactly under the index finger. Press and hold for 7 seconds.

cheek elasticity point

Find three points located along the lower edge of the cheekbones. The first of them is a centimeter from the base of the nose. The other two follow right behind her. Your fingers will stand up on their own, as they should, and you will feel it. Press the index, middle and ring fingers of both hands on these points at the same time. Work for 7 seconds. Stimulation of these points tones, strengthens and tightens the cheeks, makes the cheekbones contoured and high.

Point against nasolabial folds

Place your fingers in the depression above the upper lip and make an arcing motion towards the wings of the nose. The fingers themselves will stop in the right recesses at the wings of the nose. Work on both points at the same time for 7 seconds. Stimulating these points will help smooth out the nasolabial folds.

Point of beautiful lips

Place the index fingers of both hands on the active points in the corners of the mouth and press on them for 7 seconds. Then, with your index finger, press for the same time on the so-called “Cupid’s Bow” – the hollow above the upper lip. Then move your index or middle finger into the hole under the lower lip and press for the same 7 seconds. Regular stimulation of these points will lift the corners of the mouth and make the lips plumper.

Point of a clear oval of the face

Press the thumbs of both hands under the jawbone. Simultaneously place the index, middle and ring fingers of both hands on the lower jaw. Stimulate these groups of points for 7 seconds. Then move your fingers a little higher towards the temples and stimulate the following groups of points. For 4-5 receptions, you need to work out the entire lower jaw.

For a lifting effect, direct the pressure movement of the index, middle and ring fingers slightly up. The thumb is always fixed. Such a massage strengthens and tightens the oval of the face, eliminating sagging contours.

When performed regularly, shiatsu massage will tighten the face as much as possible, relax the clamps, correct asymmetry and vision, relieve eye strain, and fix the face in a taut state.
