Facial pigmentation, what does it mean for beauty-conscious women? Is it a sign of illness or aging? In fact, there are many reasons for facial pigmentation. Congenital factors refer to pigmentation present since birth, mostly due to genetic inheritance. Acquired factors include long-term makeup causing melanin deposition or lack of sun protection, leading to the appearance of pigmentation.
Modern women are becoming increasingly capable in their careers, overtime and staying up late have become normal occurrences. Combined with a lack of attention to balanced diet, this can cause hormonal imbalance, resulting in uneven skin tone, roughness, dullness, and pigmentation issues on the face. How should one address such problems?
I. Facial Massage
There are many acupoints on the human body, each with different functions, which can treat various diseases. The face also has many acupoints. For various skin flaws, it's not necessarily only due to diseases or staying up late, but also partly due to poor blood circulation. In addition to diet, massaging acupoints can quickly mobilize the vitality of facial organs and help improve skin flaws.
1. Random Pressing of the Entire Face
Most people do not know which acupoints are on the face, let alone where they are located. For those who are unaware of acupoints, massaging the face randomly can help. This massage does not involve rubbing the face but rather making a fist and pressing the face from bottom to top with the knuckles aligned with the face. If a certain area feels very sore, it indicates an acupoint, and it should be pressed several times.
The intensity of the massage is crucial. It's not about massaging repeatedly or forcefully, nor is it about making the face red, which would accelerate skin aging and even cause pigmentation. Therefore, the massage should not be too forceful, the movements should be gentle, the rhythm should be fast, and it should not be too frequent, about 4 minutes each time is sufficient.
2. Targeted Massage for Spots
To treat a disease, one must first identify the cause and then treat it accordingly. The formation of spots mainly starts locally and then spreads, resulting in spots all over the face. However, it can be observed that the depth of color of spots in each area varies. Only by targeting the treatment of spots can the effect of spot removal be more effective.
For spot massage, which targets the spots, the method is to make a fist, but extend the thumb straight, and use the tip of the thumb to press the center of the spot. The pressing direction should be vertical, starting from light to heavy, steady and continuous, fully stimulating the spot, so that the pressure reaches between the epidermis and dermis. Pressing should be done in a circular motion, expanding outward from the center to the edge of the spot.
