Acupressure has been used in China as a beauty treatment since ages. Acupressure is said to improve skin condition and firm up facial muscles and connective tissues that have weakened due to pulling and stretching over the years. Applying pressure to the specific points

  • Relieves congested areas and relaxes the muscles
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Increases metabolism

These functions will help restore the texture and glow of your skin, will reduce wrinkles and treat acne.

How to apply pressure to the points

Use your middle finger for self-acupressure since this finger is the longest and strongest of your fingers. The thumb is strong, but this finger may not have the sensitivity required for acupressure. You can also use your knuckles or your fist if your fingers hurt or are weak.

Keeping your pressure source at a 90 degree angle from the surface of the skin, apply slow but firm pressure on the point. Apply and release the pressure gradually and gently. This will give your body time to respond and promote healing.

In general, hold the pressure for about 1 to 2 minutes for each pressure point.

Pressure points for healthy and glowing skin

1. Heavenly pillar

These pressure points are located half an inch (one finger width) below the base of the skull. [B10] on the ropy muscles of the neck, and half-inch away from the spine on either side.

These pressure points help heal skin disorders such as acne. The points also relieve stress and burnout and improve the overall texture of the skin.

2. Third eye point

The third eye point is located in between the eyebrows, about one-finger width from the bridge of the nose. [GV24.5]

This pressure point stimulates the master endocrine gland the pituitary gland, which helps improve skin texture.

3. Facial beauty pressure point

Facial beauty pressure points are located at bottom of the cheekbones in line with the corners of the mouth.

This pressure point is used to reduce acne and blemishes, improve blood circulation in the face thus revitalizing the face, and firm up sagging cheeks. It is also used to relieve stuffy nose, eye pain and general facial congestion.

4. Four whites pressure points

Four whites pressure points are located half-inch (one finger width) below the lower orbit of the eye socket in line with the iris of the eye. [E]

The pressure points reduce acne and blemishes.

5. Heavenly appearance pressure points

Heavenly pressure points are located behind the jaws, a few inches below the earlobes (just below the jaw bones).

These pressure points improve the luster of the skin and the tone of facial muscles and connective tissue. This can lessen the appearance of wrinkles without drugs or surgery.

6. Three mile point
