Rules for performing Japanese massage Yukuko Tanaka

The most important rule: Japanese facial massage is performed strictly along the lymphatic pathways. Themselves lymph nodes should not be affected. There are 5 basic tenets:

1. Before the procedure, you must thoroughly cleanse the face.
2. To hands slid over the skin, rather than stretching it, be sure to use milk, butter or massage cream.
3. After examining the location of the lymph nodes, movements are performed carefully and without pressing on the nodes themselves.
4. If you experience any pain during the process, stop the procedure.
5. At the end of the procedure, the face is cleaned on a mandatory basis.

The dangers of massage Asahi Zogan

To all the above rules, you need to add the following: you need to learn any massage. Making any manipulations with your own face, follow the rule: "Do no harm!" The technique is simple only at first glance: you look, you repeat, and numerous negative reviews have already confirmed this. For most women, wrinkles, on the contrary, appeared; in addition, a Japanese facial massage contributes to its noticeable weight loss, giving the face a youthful, but emaciated look. About the main hazards in more detail:

• Acne. One of the most common problems is the appearance of subcutaneous acne along the lines of lymphatic drainage. Japanese facial massage is not recommended on critical days. The appearance of acne can also be an allergic reaction to an oil or cream, or it can be the result of non-compliance with the technique. Faced with such a problem you need to stop the procedure until the complete disappearance of acne.
• Slimming face. The effect, which is achieved by almost 90% of all women, is face slimming. Some reviews suggest that body fat is reduced to a minimum. It is not recommended to use the technique for women with an already thin face or it is worthwhile to work only on its upper part.
• Edema. If the Japanese face massage by Asahi Zogan is performed in the evening before bedtime, he often provokes the appearance of edema. In this case, it is recommended to change the time of the procedure.
• Kuperoz. If you have a tendency to appear "spider veins", self-massage should be performed very gently, without pressure. As a prophylaxis, you can use a cream to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, for example, Hesperedin.
• Flabbiness. Some women note that the skin does not tighten, but rather sags and becomes flabby. If you have thin skin, and perhaps also thinned with peeling, power equipment does not suit you, and you can only make gentle strokes. Discard this technique in order to avoid a similar problem!

In addition, the cause of the negative consequences is that the skin problems of a 20 and 60 year old woman are completely different, and therefore the movements are different. In the network you can find video tutorials for different ages. If you decide on self-massage, read them.

Opinion of a cosmetologist about self-massage by Asahi Zogan

To warn women against possible problems, cosmetologists and professional massage therapists do not recommend self-massage without first learning the basics.

Cosmetologist with years of experience Tiina Orasmäe-Meder warns that: "To perform massage on the video is the same as learning to play the piano on video and comments like "We click quickly on the black sticks, and then with one finger on the white". You will be able to imitate learning, and it is unlikely that you will properly massage."

If you first encounter with self-massage, it is recommended to contact a professional at least for a minimal set of hands. It is important to know the physiology of facial tissues and Langer lines, that is, lines of skin tension. If you have tried this technique personally, we are waiting for your feedback under the article. Your experience will be useful to other women.
