Acupoints for spot removal
Modern makeup techniques can effectively cover up spots on the face, but this is only a temporary solution. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging acupoints can help remove spots. So, which acupoints can be massaged for spot removal?
Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that regular massage of acupoints with spot-removal effects not only benefits the skin but also treats facial pigmentation. This method is simple and can be done anytime, anywhere. Let's take a look at some acupoints that can help remove spots and rejuvenate the skin.
Basic acupoints for spot removal and rejuvenation: Guan Yuan, Yin Ling Quan, Di Ji, San Yin Jiao, Qi Hai, Shan Zhong, Shen Yu, Pi Yu, Zu San Li, Fu Liu, Xue Hai, Feng Chi, He Gu, etc.
