We all noticed that Asian girls have firm and radiant skin … Chinese women take care of themselves so much that it is physically impossible to determine their age by their face. How do they do it? We tell and show!
Family traditions are strong in China. Beauty preservation techniques are passed down from generation to generation: from grandmother to mother, from mother to daughter. The mentality of Eastern women is dominated by the belief that all a woman needs for beauty is knowledge and hands. Aggressive correction techniques (peels and lifts) are not held in high esteem here, as are cosmetics. How then do Chinese women take care of themselves?
Valymas
No cleansing cosmetics or soap can make the skin radiant if it is not cleansed from the inside. What does it mean? Any products of metabolic decay (what is called slag and toxins) are excreted with the help of lymph. The more intense the lymph flow, the better the skin is cleansed, which means that it is free from inflammation, blackheads, enlarged pores. How to speed up the circulation of lymph in the face?
Limfodrenažinis masažas
This is the safest and most effective type of massage done with light patting movements: imagine that you are hitting the surface of the water — gently, but tangibly. While doing these pats, move along the massage lines:
- from nose to ears;
- nuo smakro centro iki ausų;
- from the center of the forehead to the temples.
Walk along the massage lines several times — one set of massage should take about a minute. Now put your index finger on the center of the chin and move down — under the chin, find a point behind the mandibular bone. With gentle pressure on this point, the mandibular joints relax, a feeling of general relaxation of the face appears. Press this point for 10-15 seconds: this is how you let the lymph flow through the opened channels. Repeat 2-3 sets — best in the morning, after washing.
maistas
Blood transports nutrients throughout our body. The more intense the blood supply to the face and head as a whole, the more elastic the skin will be; wrinkles will not form on it, and the complexion will be the envy of all girlfriends. How to increase the blood supply to the face?
Taškinis masažas
Perhaps you know what acupuncture is. According to Chinese medicine, there are channels in the body and active points on them. Acupuncturists act on these points with needles or cauterization to harmonize the body: relax overstressed areas, harmonize blood supply and innervation. Acupressure is a similar technique, only the points in this case are activated by pressing. We suggest you experience the effect of acupressure to improve the nutrition of the skin of the face: the pressure on the points should be felt, but not painful.
1. Place your index, middle and ring fingers at a small distance from the tragus of the ear. Find the points that, when pressed, relax the temporomandibular joint. Press for 10-30 seconds, feeling how the lower jaw relaxes: the release of these muscles triggers a cascade of relaxation of the entire facial muscles. Muscles seem to “spread”, freeing blood vessels and improving blood microcirculation.
2. Place three fingers on the eyebrow line: index and ring fingers — on the outer and inner edges of the eyebrow, middle — in the middle. Do not pull up or down, press strictly perpendicular. This action relaxes the muscles of the forehead and the area around the eyes, nourishing the skin from within. The eyelids will naturally “float” upward, strengthening and continuing the opening of the eyes.
3. Move your index and middle fingers from the temple along the cheekbone line. Feel the corner of the cheekbone — approximately under the center of the eye. Apply pressure for 10-30 seconds: exposure to this point opens the face, relaxing the temporomandibular joint and smoothing the nasolabial fold. The movements should be strong, but without pain.
Atnaujinti
The inflow and outflow of blood and lymph accelerates metabolic processes. As a result, skin cells are intensively renewed, and the skin looks young.
Can we regulate these metabolic processes ourselves? Certainly. This requires … a slender, beautiful posture. This is a factor that ensures intensive circulation of blood and lymph around the clock, and not only when we do this massage.
What is the relationship between posture and facial beauty? Blood and lymph circulate through the neck. If there is tension in the neck and shoulders, the movement of fluids slows down. By relaxing the muscles of the neck and shoulders, you provide an intensive renewal of facial tissues.
Exercise «Dragon Head»
The movement proposed below is one of the exercises of Chinese gymnastics Xinseng, on the basis of which the seminar «Youth and Health of the Spine» was developed. This complex is aimed at working out the entire spine. From the point of view of the beauty of the face, the area of uXNUMXbuXNUMXbthe seventh cervical vertebra, the base of the neck, is especially important. Think of an exercise that many of us did in PE: neck rotation. We will do a similar movement, but with some nuances.
- Hands on the waist. The first cervical vertebra (at the base of the skull — on it the head nods) is relaxed, the chin is gently and comfortably pressed to the neck. To feel this opening of the first cervical, imagine that there is a loop on the top of the head, by which the entire spine seems to be suspended in space. Someone very gently pulls this loop up, and the chin naturally tends to the neck.
- Start rotating your neck — very slowly and with a small amplitude. Make sure that the area of the first cervical vertebra is open and relaxed. Feel the muscles surrounding the seventh cervical vertebra relax as you rotate fiber by fiber.
- Do not try to forcefully stretch the muscles by increasing the amplitude. The movement is performed on the maximum available relaxation, the sensations should be soft and pleasant — as during the best massage in life.
