Chapter 17 A Massage Plan for Plump Skin

Skin is to women what petals are to flowers. Proper protection can make women healthy and beautiful.Massage is the greatest compliment to the skin. It can make the skin shiny and white, improve the contraction and elasticity of muscles, stimulate the nervous system, and regulate the functions of the whole body.

Massage methods to protect the skin usually fall into the following categories.

Facial massage
In daily skin beauty, facial massage is indispensable.Its function is to use the rhythm of the palm or fingers to stimulate the three parts of the skin tissue, muscles, and nervous system, and to promote the circulation of blood and lymph.When blood circulation becomes smooth, oxygen and nutrients will be transported to various tissues in time, thereby increasing the speed of metabolism.

Step 1 Gently press the top of the brow with the fingertips of the thumb for 3 seconds, then massage the forehead from bottom to top.

Step 2 Gently press the temple with your index finger for 3 seconds and then release.

Step 3 Gently press the inner corner of the eye area with your index finger for 3 seconds and then release.

Step 4 Use the index finger and middle finger to gently massage the entire cheek in a circular motion for about 60 seconds.

Step 5 Put your ten fingers together, and gently pat your face with your palm to make the skin slightly vibrated.

Step 6 Gently press the cheeks with the palm, gradually massage outward to the ear, then press the back root of the earlobe with the middle finger, and rub it downward.

It is enough to massage once a day, about 1 minutes each time, and the movements should be gentle and the rhythm should be fast.

Foot massage
Soak your feet in the liquid medicine for 20 minutes, then dry your feet, apply moisturizing oil, and then massage your feet.

Step 1: Pat the outside of the feet horizontally with both hands to relax the calf muscles; then hold one foot with both hands and squeeze it slightly inward.

Step 2 Gently squeeze the inner side of the foot with both hands, which can improve the body's immunity; then press the dorsum and center of the foot with both hands staggered.

Step 3 Rub hands up and down on the dorsum of the foot to heat up the entire foot and promote blood circulation; lightly squeeze the acupoint on the dorsum of the foot with both hands to relieve headaches, dizziness and other symptoms.

Step 4 Gently scrape the big toe with the thumb, which can improve the headache and dizziness, and improve the quality of sleep; lightly scrape the other toes with the index finger, which is helpful for relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation;

Step 5: Use the joints of the middle finger and index finger to press specific acupoints on the sole of the foot, which can relieve the symptoms of chest tightness; tap the center of the foot with the thumb and press lightly to help the body excrete waste.

water massage
As long as you have been engaged in outdoor activities, regardless of the degree of sun exposure, you should take a shower after returning home.When cleaning the skin, try to choose a slightly acidic moisturizing body wash, or even clean it with water.

Step 1 To relieve fatigue, soak in warm water at 37-40°C for 20-30 minutes; at the same time, apply shower gel, gently wipe the whole body with a massage, and then take a bath from head to toe with hands.

Step 2 When cleaning your feet, you can add a few drops of bergamot or tea tree essential oil to the bath water; soaking for 15 to 20 minutes can promote blood circulation and soften cuticles; Carefully wipe the heels and hard calluses.

Step 3 After washing the body, you can start the shower massage.First, increase the water temperature properly, and at the same time increase the intensity of the water flow, use the impact of the water flow to massage the whole body, and focus on the tense muscles or sore ligaments to relax them.

Step 4 After the whole body has been warmed up with hot water massage, you can try cold water massage.Cold water massage should be done step by step. Don't put the whole body under the cold water immediately, but start with the face, hands or feet, and then slowly lead to the chest.

Alternating hot and cold shower massage can tighten blood vessels and help promote blood circulation.But it must be hot first and then cold.Hot water dilates blood vessels on the surface of the skin and relaxes muscles; when the body is warm enough, take a cold bath.

After bathing, apply skin cream on the limbs and back in time to give the skin an extra layer of care, and pay attention to rubbing a highly moisturizing cream on the feet.

Friendly reminder:

Although facial massage can help enhance blood circulation and metabolism, it should not be over-used.Because, excessive massage may accelerate the aging of the skin, and it is easier for the spots to find opportunities to emerge, which must be prevented.

For a shower massage, if you have trouble taking cold water, try the areas from feet to knees and hands to elbows first.Move up a little every day, and you will get used to it slowly.
