Japanese asahi massage

If a woman looks younger than her age - this is a real merit. Many believe that it is sometimes difficult to achieve the effect of natural genuine beauty in very mature years without plastic and Botox. Fortunately, this is not so, and you can "throw off" 10 years with the help of asahi massage. The name has Japanese roots, in fact, like the technique itself. Why is it so unique? Why does Asahi massage allow women to struggle with age?

The history of this phenomenon

Japanese women from ancient times knew very well that facial massage is one of the most effective means in the struggle for beauty. It is effective and useful both in old age and in young, as in the first case it smoothes wrinkles, and in the second it eliminates skin rashes. For centuries in the Land of the Rising Sun, this rule was unspoken, they did not write or talk about it, it was taken for granted.

But officially, Asahi massage, also known as Zogan, began to be used at the beginning of the XXI century. Having collected all the famous Japanese techniques and brought them to full perfection, a beautician named Tanaka Yukuko presented the whole world a book called "Facial Massage." It contains the treasured recipes of youth, beauty and freshness of the skin. In addition, we note that the word "zogan" in translation means "creating a face." But the word "Asahi" translates as "massage of the morning sun." It is the second name of this technique that is most often found on the Internet.

Features of the procedure

Japanese asahi massage (or Zogan) differs significantly from the more well-known techniques of this kind. Firstly, all movements are performed slowly, sensually, sequentially. The pressure increases gradually, there are no jumps and sharp drops. But the essence of the procedure is that lymphatic drainage of the face is performed. In other words, Japanese Asahi massage is a kneading of lymphatic flows that are in the face. As if accompanying lymph along its natural path, we renew the skin of the face, improve its condition and form a clear oval. In general, in cosmetology, lymphatic drainage is an extremely useful and popular thing. Thanks to such manipulations, you can lose weight, and rejuvenate, and get rid of cellulite. A similar effect can be achieved on the face. With regular visits to Asahi massage sessions, the skin will become smoother, more elastic, elasticity and a healthy color will appear, and all defects, rashes and wrinkles will be a thing of the past.

A little secret to success and savings

But there is one "But." Every woman is unique. The location of its lymphatic currents relative to the surface of the skin can be different. For this reason, the master who performs such a massage should find an individual approach to each patient, apply not only movements that are suitable for her, but also the degree of pressure. It is recommended that the first few sessions be held in the salon, and the master should have considerable experience in this matter. Having accurately remembered all of his techniques and sensations that you received during the procedure, you can proceed to massage at home.
