Recommendations for novice masseurs
If you decide to master the technique of massage yourself, then you need to carefully approach to its study and remember that every little thing matters. You should not forget about the following important points:
- the skin should be dry - before massage, it is desirable to wipe it with a damp cloth;
- before the procedure, you need to thoroughly wash or rub your face, removing makeup;
- the location of the lymph nodes in the neck and face should be determined, since it is on them that the effectiveness of the procedure depends;
- To achieve maximum results, clean the skin with a scrub 1-2 hours before the procedure (do this and continue using a scrub at least once a week);
- before the procedure, wash your hands thoroughly and use a cream.
The pressure during the massage should be significant, but not painful - any movement should have a clear focus. Massage time averages 15 minutes. The back must be straight, because the massage itself must be performed either sitting or standing. Following these recommendations, you will get the maximum effect from the massage.
Asahi Japanese facial massage: performance technique
Before you study the technique of Japanese massage, you should be familiar with the location of the lymph nodes and blood vessels, without this it will be impossible to achieve the main goal - to restore the lymph flow. They are located behind and around the ears, on the back of the head, on the neck and lower jaw, under the tongue. When working with these parts, you need to be very careful. And if on all other areas it is possible to press hard enough, then here the pressure should be weak.
Oddly enough, but start with the study of the final movements that complete any effects on this technique:
- Three fingers of two hands gently press on the point located near the ears, in the area of the lymph nodes. And you need to press not with your fingertips, but with their full length, tightly pressing your fingers to your face. Manipulation lasts 2-4 seconds.
- Then go down to the clavicle, without changing the force of pressure.
Since the final movements are important, they must be mastered first. Let's take a closer look at how to properly make Japanese massage.
Eyes
Touch the outer corners of the eyes with fingertips, hold to the inner corners without pressure. Stop at the nose for 2-3 seconds. Do a little pressure, run your fingers just below the eyebrows on the very edge of the eye, stop near the outer corners of the eyes for 2-3 seconds. Loosen the pressure, go back to the inner corners. Perform the final exercise.
Forehead
With three fingers of two hands, press firmly to the forehead, after three seconds move to the temples, trying not to press them. Near the temples, turn your hands 90 degrees, slide down and make the final movements.
Nose
Place the middle fingers in the cavities near the wings of the nose, make five smooth movements from the bottom up, then activate the ring finger - actively rub the back of the nose, heading towards the cheeks.
Lips
Place the middle and ring fingers in the middle of the chin, press a little, hold for a couple of seconds. Move your fingers along the lip line while actively pushing. Finish the movement in the middle of the upper lip, holding the hands for 2-3 seconds.
Cheeks
Fold in front of your palms, elbows, hands open palms up, place the base to your lips. Lift them to the nostrils, cover the cheeks with your palms, hold them for 2-3 seconds, then pull them back with a slight pressure to the temples. Press three fingers to the middle of the chin and slowly begin to move them to the eyes, without reducing pressure. Hold your eyes for a couple of seconds, then extend your palms to the temples and make the final movement.
Reviews
After 35 years, mimic wrinkles began to appear. I didn’t want to go for some cosmetic procedures or braces, as a result I found information about Asahi massage. I was looking for a massage therapist in the city for a long time, as a result, only three weeks later I was able to enroll to it (I read that if I did the wrong thing, there could be complications). The result is satisfied: the face began to look better, wrinkles smoothed out a bit.
Anna, 39 years old
She was very tired at work, did not sleep much, as a result, everything had an effect on the face: circles appeared under the eyes, small wrinkles around the lips and eyes. In general, a friend told me that she herself practices Asahi massage, and he helps her a lot. I decided to learn, I studied information on the Internet, but the first three times I went to a specialist, I remembered how and what he does. Frankly, there are no such instant results, as many people promise, but I really did look better.
