There are many invasive procedures, expensive products, and a myriad of ‘promises’ for youthful skin. However, you don’t always need them. The power of a radiant complexion, no matter your age, is literally in your own hands! When applying your face serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, or whatever you are putting on your face, use Facial Acupressure techniques, and you will notice a beautiful difference.
Facial Acupressure is an ancient technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the face to promote circulation, relieve tension, and enhance overall skin health. When combined with a nourishing facial serum, facial acupressure can boost benefits by delivering hydration, essential nutrients, protection, brightening, and improved skin elasticity.
The Benefits of Facial Acupressure
Boosts Circulation and Radiance
By stimulating key pressure points, facial acupressure enhances blood flow, leading to a healthy and glowing complexion. The use of a facial serum further nourishes the skin, ensuring optimal absorption of vitamins and antioxidants.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Applying pressure to specific acupressure points encourages collagen production and skin elasticity. When combined with a serum rich in nourishing essential oils, it helps to firm and plump the skin, reducing signs of aging.
Relieves Tension and Promotes Relaxation
Facial acupressure helps release muscle tension, particularly around the jaw and forehead, preventing stress-induced wrinkles. The addition of a serum infused with essential oils enhances relaxation and soothes the skin.
Detoxifies and Reduces Puffiness
Gentle massage movements stimulate lymphatic drainage, reducing fluid retention and puffiness. Serums containing essential oils promote de-puffing and detoxifying the skin.
The Right Face Serum
When choosing what to put on your face, be discerning – VERY discerning! The skincare offerings at drug stores, specialty shops, and online are filled with so many products, it is hard to decide what is best for you. Here are a few guidelines:
- Is it made with ingredients you can understand?
- Is it organic?
- Ingredients are listed in order of largest amount first. Is water the first ingredient? Does the product have chemicals, preservatives, or unknown elements?
- Who produces it? Is it a corporation looking for profits or actual people caring about skincare?
Benefits of an Organic Face Serum
Face serums offer a range of benefits depending on their ingredients and formulation. Here are some key advantages of incorporating a serum into your skincare routine:
Deep Hydration
Serums contain concentrated humectants that help attract and retain moisture, keeping skin plump and hydrated.
Targeted Treatment
Unlike regular moisturizers, serums are formulated with high concentrations of active ingredients, such as vitamins C, D, and E for brightening, rose and lavender with anti-oxidants, and anti-inflammatories.
Lightweight and Fast Absorbing
Serums have a lightweight, fluid consistency that penetrates deeper into the skin, delivering active ingredients more effectively than heavier creams. Holds your sunscreen or moisturizers on the outer layer.
Brightening and Even Skin Tone
Serums with vitamin C and helichrysum help fade dark spots, reduce hyperpigmentation, and give the skin a healthy glow.
Soothes Irritation and Redness
Calming ingredients like frankincense reduce inflammation and redness, especially for sensitive skin.
Protects Against Environmental Damage
Antioxidant-rich serums help neutralize free radicals from pollution and UV exposure, preventing premature aging.
How to Apply Facial Acupressure with Facial Serum
Cleanse the Face
Begin with a clean face to allow the serum to penetrate effectively. Use a gentle cleanser.
Apply a Few Drops of Serum
Gently massage the serum into the skin using upward strokes. Always apply with third and fourth fingers, away from gravity. NEVER rub!
Say Nice Things
Offer affirmations to your skin as you apply it. “I look and feel great!” “I am confident.” “I am lovely!”
Facial Acupressure Application
- Use your fingertips to apply light pressure to key points such as the temples, under the eyes, and along the jawline for a few seconds each.
- Pinch along jawline.
- Circular motions at chin, cheekbones, temples, forehead.
- Gently tap under and over eye area.
- Stroke upward from eyebrows to hairline.
- Press and release all over face to finish.
- Massage in Circular Motions – This enhances absorption and stimulates circulation.
- Repeat Daily – Consistency ensures long-term benefits.
