What is Asahi Japanese massage, its benefits and possible contraindications, rules and methods of manipulation, the consequences and the fight against them. You should also be careful with this massage if you have too thin layer of subcutaneous fat on your face.
Asahi Japanese Facial Massage Rules
Before proceeding with this beauty massage, you should take into account certain rules and prepare:
- Massage should be performed exclusively on cleansed skin.
- You need to use natural massage bases in the process (oat milk, various vegetable oils).
- Techniques traditional from the point of view of classical massage (stroking, kneading) are not used. It is necessary to apply rubbing with intense pressure of constant force.
- All movements must be performed with maximum effort. At the same time, you should not feel a sharp pain, nevertheless, this procedure is not only cosmetic in nature, but also relaxing.
- The pressure should be reduced in the area where the lymph nodes are located. It is enough to stroke them with pressure. Especially this rule should be taken into account by those who have a thin face.
- Each movement should be finished with a special “finishing move”. The only exception is the corners of the mouth and chin.
- Most movements need to be performed with two fingers or three (in the forehead) - middle and index or ring and middle. For this reason, this technique is often called Y-massage.
- Exercises on the cheeks are recommended to be carried out with a bump in the palm of the hand near the thumb.
To massage, according to Tanaka's recommendations, you need to sit with a straight back. In this case, you should not lean on the back, armrests, wall. Your neck should not be relaxed, and therefore you should not rest your head on the headrest either. In Europe, Japanese technology has been somewhat modified. Here, this massage is done lying down, explaining that this way the muscles of the face relax much better, which means they better perceive manipulations. Also, the Japanese cosmetologist advises to massage the face in a good mood, filling it with positive energy and imagining how it moves through it.
Asahi's facial massage technique
The Asahi massage complex included 12 exercises, including the "finishing technique", which must be performed after working out a specific zone.
Consider the Japanese technique for areas of the face:
- Forehead … Press the pads of the fingers of both hands tightly to the forehead in the center. We dilute the skin strongly towards the temples. At the same time, we keep our palms horizontally to the forehead. We turn them to a vertical position near the temples and move the skin to the ears. While working on the site, it is important to constantly keep your fingers on the skin without lifting them.
- Eyes … We lead two fingers on each side to the outer corner of the eye. Stretching the skin from the outside to the inside. So we will remove the puffiness. Next, press with greater intensity and move your fingers in the opposite direction - towards the temples. We repeat the manipulation three times in a row.
- Chin and mouth … To maintain elastic nasolabial folds, run your middle fingers from the center of the chin, firmly pressing and stretching the skin against the folds under the nose. Press firmly and firmly. When the fingers are under the nose, we press on this point, count to three, and then abruptly tear off the fingers, return them to the chin. We repeat the procedure three times.
- Nose … In order to eliminate the folds around the nose, we transfer our fingers to the wings and begin to press hard and at the same time and draw a figure eight. We repeat 5 times. We pull the skin from the nose to the ears and stop there.
- Corners of the mouth … Draw a circle around the mouth with our fingers as much as possible. Next, press hard and move your fingers to the upper jaw. Afterward from her in the direction of the eyes and stop there. We count to three. We move our fingers from the eyes to the ears, reducing the pressure. We repeat two times.
- Cheeks … To raise them, rest your chin on your palm. With the other hand we work with the face. We press with two fingers on the place where the chewing muscles end. We move our fingers diagonally up to the eyes. We stop in this zone for three seconds and drive down. Repeat twice on each cheek.
- Nasolabial folds and cheeks … To lose weight in these areas, press with a pair of fingers on the wings of the nose. Next, we strongly press and remove the skin to the temples. At this point, we slightly loosen the grip. We repeat three times.
- Lifting for a clear contour of the face … This exercise is suitable for the morning. We get up on our feet, place them shoulder-width apart. We bring our palms together in front of the chest, we spread our elbows to the sides. We rest on the chin with your fingertips. We press hard with our palms and bring the skin up to the forehead area. Don't hurt your ears. We repeat twice.
- Double chin … To get rid of it, put it on one of the palms, stretch the skin to the ear. In this case, it is important to capture all the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the face.
- Exercise to eliminate double chin in a standing position … We get up on our feet, close our palms so that the rhombus comes out, we spread our elbows to the sides. We put the chin on the thumbs brought together. We put the middle and index fingers on the nose. Massage the chin with the thumb pads for three minutes.
- Smooth the forehead … We put our palms on the center of the forehead and strongly dilute the skin to the temples. Then, with strong pressure, we lead it to the ears. We repeat several times.
- Final reception … It must be done at the end of each exercise. To do this, with three fingers of two hands, lightly press on a point located near the auricles. There are lymph nodes. We press not with the pads of the fingers, but with their entire length. We press them as tightly as possible. The duration of the pressure is two seconds. After that, we smoothly go down to the area of the collarbones. In this case, we do not change the pressure intensity. It is this exercise that is responsible for the high-quality outflow of lymph, therefore it is so important to carry it out after the main manipulation.
A massage session may include a study of not all zones, but those selected according to desire and the presence of specific problems. It is recommended to perform the procedure at least three times weekly. Ideally, every day.
Consequences of Japanese massage and ways to eliminate them
After Asahi, a certain skin reaction may appear. You should not be afraid of this, but you should pay attention in order to eliminate unpleasant consequences in time:
- If you find a rash that is not associated with an infection or fluctuations in hormonal levels, you should suspend the procedure for a while. When the pimples disappear, try replacing the remedy with which you massage. It is also necessary to pay more attention to cleansing the epidermis after manipulations.
- Sometimes, after several massage sessions, Asahi may lose weight on his face. So that this process is not aggravated, it is necessary to reduce the number of sessions, but not the intensity of pressure. If this technique does not help, then it is better to stop the massage.
- If after Asahi skin swelling appeared, then maybe you are using an inappropriate basis for manipulation. In this case, avoid oil products and do not carry out the procedure overnight. To eliminate edema, use light massage preparations, and transfer the sessions to the morning.
- Sometimes the skin condition can worsen - sagging appears, elasticity is lost. This is due to the fact that during the massage, not enough base was used, and the palms barely slid over the face.
- If you have rosacea on your face, it is recommended to abandon Japanese massage procedures. But if you still dare to do it, then follow these tips: do not work out areas with damaged vessels, choose a massage base with hesperidin, perform mimic exercises.
By following these simple rules and strictly following the massage technique, you can regain lost youth. How to do Asahi's face massage - watch the video:
