"Women can also contribute to society," many people strongly believe in this statement! However, we cannot deny the importance of men in society; they are the backbone of this society. There are too many external factors that can cause disturbances, whether it is the heavy pressures of life or work. People can easily feel various discomforts, both physically and mentally.
As time passes, people feel the ruthlessness of time more and more as they age. At this point, various bodily functions accelerate, especially for those who have irregular lifestyles and overwhelming social engagements. The consequences are evident in deteriorating physical conditions.
Many people acknowledge that this is not good in the long run, but they feel helpless. Time is precious, and the time available for maintaining health is too limited. However, there is no need to worry. Today, let me introduce a few exercises that you can do every morning. Perhaps you will be surprised by the results!
"Dry Facial Massage"
Dry facial massage is a technique that promotes blood circulation through the friction between our palms and facial skin. Many people go to wellness centers for skincare and beauty treatments to relax their skin and improve blood circulation. Our face is actually connected to our internal organs, limbs, and more. Dry facial massage is like giving our internal organs a massage. Isn't that amazing?
Firstly, massaging the face increases blood circulation, activating and nourishing the facial muscles and nerves. Importantly, it can prevent facial nerve inflammation, visual impairment, and shoulder periarthritis.
Secondly, facial massage accelerates blood circulation around the eyes, relieving eye fatigue and enhancing the vitality of the optic nerve. It also slows down degenerative eye diseases. Massaging the face when fatigued not only provides comfort to the face but also brightens the eyes, giving a refreshing and pleasant feeling.
Furthermore, facial massage can unclog pores, allowing the normal discharge of substances within them. This helps prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and improves skin elasticity.
Moreover, the front of the face is connected to the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. Regular facial massage helps maintain smoothness in this meridian. A well-functioning stomach meridian improves digestion and cooperation with the spleen, aiding in the absorption and conversion of nutrients.
Of course, facial massage is also beneficial in winter. It not only relaxes the facial nerves and facial muscles but also prevents and treats facial nerve inflammation, visual impairment, and rhinitis, as well as preventing colds.
Proper techniques for facial massage are crucial. The pressure applied should be based on personal sensations, but slightly heavier is better. The speed of facial massage should be around once per second. It is recommended to massage the face 3-5 times a day, with each session lasting no less than 5 minutes, until the face feels warm. For those with dry skin, be careful not to apply too much pressure or massage too quickly to avoid skin damage.
