Have Beautiful Skin with these Top 5 Acupressure Points for 10 Minutes a day
Did you know that facial acupressure, can give you HEALTHY, BEAUTIFUL SKIN, can make your skin GLOW and make you look YOUNGER and more vibrant? How?
By stimulating the acupressure points, blood circulation is enhanced, which allows for more moisture to the skin, more oxygen and more collagen production.
Lack of proper blood circulation to the tissues of the face is the reason why skin looks tired, dull, pale and withered.
Press on these easy acupressure points daily and your skin will be glowing in no time! It will literally only take five minutes twice per day!
You have nothing to lose! Let’s get started!

Often referred to as the Facial Beauty Point
Location: With the eyes looking straight ahead, this point is located directly below the pupil and level with the lower border of the nose. Place index fingers on both points and massage for 60 seconds.
Great for reducing blemishes, improving skin tone & skin elasticity, and improving blood circulation through the face.

Press down firmly for 60 seconds using any finger.

Great to fill out horizontal fine lines on the forehead & lift the eyelids.
