Many women are very afraid of facial problems, including wrinkles, eye bags, and puffiness. These signs can make women look older.
Eye bags are one of the signs of aging in women, making them look tired and lacking vitality. As people age, their organ functions gradually decline, leading to the appearance of eye bags. For young women, staying up late and having an irregular lifestyle may cause eyelid swelling, but not eye bags. However, if a young woman has a weak spleen and poor digestive function, she may develop eye bags. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen governs flesh, and the lower eyelids represent the state of the spleen's qi and blood. Of course, some people are born with eye bags.
Our facial features will deteriorate if not used. After understanding the health status of our spleen and stomach, regularly exercising our facial features can regulate the qi and blood of the spleen and stomach. Facial feature maintenance and health preservation methods can promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and have the effects of beauty, skin care, and facial rejuvenation, which are very suitable for women.
Choose a quiet and elegant environment. If indoors, open the windows for ventilation to keep the air fresh. Wash your hands before practicing, and keep your nails at a moderate length. Rub your hands together to warm them up. Whether sitting or standing, maintain stable emotions and focused attention, relax your whole body, and breathe steadily and smoothly. First, close your eyes with force and repeatedly open and close them. When closing your eyes, apply appropriate pressure to the eye sockets and focus your mind on your eyes. Then slowly open your eyes and relax the eye area. Practice for about 5 minutes each time.
Next, keep your eyes looking straight ahead and move your eyeballs up, down, left, and right for 2 minutes. Then close your eyes and use the middle fingertip of your index finger to massage the following acupoints: Yintang (located at the midpoint between the two ends of the forehead), Sizhukong (located at the inner edge of the eyebrows), Zanzhu (located at the inner edge of the eyebrows), Yuyao (located directly above the pupil, between the eyebrows), and Si Zi (located below the eyes, below the pupil). Start by massaging Yintang with the middle fingertip of your right hand in a clockwise direction for 1 minute, then massage counterclockwise for 1 minute. Next, massage Yuyao by placing the middle fingertips of both hands on the acupoint and using the right hand to massage clockwise and the left hand counterclockwise for 1 minute each. Repeat this massage 3 times. Finally, use the same method to massage the other acupoints.
Finally, rub your hands together until they are warm, then use the middle fingers to rub up and down on both sides of the bridge of the nose until it feels warm. After that, use the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your right hand to pinch and massage the nose from top to bottom, focusing on the sides of the nasal bone and the root of the nostrils. Finally, massage the Yingxiang acupoint (located on the outer edge of the nose, in the nasal groove) by placing the middle fingertips of both hands on the acupoint and using the same method as massaging Yuyao to repeat the massage 3 times.
