From the history
Anti-aging Chinese facial massage is mentioned in one of the oldest literary sources - manuscripts called "Nei-Ching." The work was written in the third millennium BC. The teaching states that in order to recover from the disease, it is necessary not only to drink medicine, but also to conduct massage sessions. Ancient Chinese Aesculapius, using a special technique, stimulated blood flow. This contributed to recovery.
About a thousand years ago, the Chinese doctor Kang-Fu systematized various massage techniques and techniques. They became the basis of the techniques that are used today.
General idea of the procedure
The basis of Chinese acupressure is based on a unique scientifically proven eastern theory that all systems of the human body are connected to each other. By influencing a particular area of the body, another can be cured.
Chinese facial massage is based on the activation of different points that are on the skin. Each point is responsible for the functioning of a particular organ. Correct exposure to them helps not only slow down the aging process, but also improve overall well-being. Therefore, people who have already managed to verify the strength of such a massage return to it again and again.
Performance technique
A classic Chinese facial massage is performed as follows: first you need to straighten your back and align yourself with your shoulders back. Now you need to rub your palms until then, until they have a feeling of warmth. After that, you can fantasize a little: so, you need to imagine that you are going to wash. To do this, palms should be folded in such a way as if you are substituting them under a water stream. Put your palms on your face without unclenching them.
Then we make circular movements with our eyes, blink as intensely as possible. We close our eyes with the bases of the palms and do not press very hard on them. We place our thumbs on special points located at the inner edges of the eyes, and press them a little.
We turn to the area of the nose: we massage the nasal septum with your fingers (in circular motions), while stroking the wings of the nose from top to bottom. We completely slap the cheeks with the fingertips: after counting to five, we strengthen the movements, and to ten - weaken them. Now push the chin forward, close the upper lip with the lower one. Thus, the skin will stretch. The point located under the chin is slightly pressed, and in the same way we fully work out the lower jaw.
Massage the auricles along the entire length with the middle fingers, working them from the tragus to the earlobe. We spread our fingers and from the forehead to the back of the head we hold them, as if with a comb. The movement ends on the neck, rubbing it slightly.

Chinese facial massage gives the first positive results after five to six sessions. So, you can observe the following changes:
