The first notes of envy of the younger sister (a difference of fourteen years) sounded four years ago. Prior to that, "little one" was simply not perceived as a woman. And then you wake up in the morning and you realize that from the mirror something looks at you close to the category "get away from me a nightmarish vision," and my sister blooms and smells right from the morning, even without washing.
With each new semester, I had to get up earlier and earlier for about fifteen minutes in order to bring myself into a “presentation”. And such stress for a person who appreciates morning sleep above morning sex and breakfast combined, an exorbitant burden.
Moreover, it was a shame that I had to get up two hours before leaving the house and cajole my face with five or six different cosmetic procedures, my youngest slept happily and sweetly. Her smooth and velvety skin was not affected by any nightly gatherings with beer and friends, or many hours of vigil on social networks (when there was one and a half hours sleep, no more), nor spicy dishes, nor tons of chocolate with a liter of coffee. While at my thirty three-year-old beauty all this was written on the face, and in large block letters.
One day, by no means a wonderful day, my nerves, thinning from an inconclusive battle in the name of beauty, could not stand it - and I burst into such bitter tears with such loud sobs that the younger one instantly woke up (although usually she had to just off the bed and watered cold water) and came running to help me. Five minutes I wiped his eyes, and with the help of torture technology experienced journalists found out the cause of sobbing. And, recognizing my sister immediately advised to try a Japanese facial massage "Asahi Zogan" after 50 years.
Hearing the age of those who are helped by this massage, I was offended to the ends of my hair - and tried to remain the only daughter of my own parents. But the youngest was agile and with the best physical training. Locking herself in the room, she began to give me the example of our mother, who looks outwardly the same age as her third husband (while I remembered exactly that he was ten years younger than our mother exactly).
At the end of the seventeenth minute, I realized that it would not work out quickly to pick out the cheek from behind a closed door, I began to get ready for work. Bringing a light semblance of a marafet with absolutely no soul. But at the same time I decided that at the first opportunity I would gather as much information as possible about the miraculous Japanese massage, or even try it, but my sister would never admit it.
Japanese anti-aging massage
"Traditional massage implies light application of massage cream or oil to the skin. Face should be touched only with fingertips, applying smoothing movements strictly along the lines of massage. Thus, cosmetologists act on the upper part of the skin, while muscles and connective tissues are not involved and slowly , but surely wither "- in fragments, between the performance of their work duties, I studied the article" Become 10 years younger! ", devoted to Japanese massage.
Surfing on different women's resources showed that: 1) about 80% of the reviews were positive, 2) another 15% consisted of the question "Has anyone rejuvenated using this technique?", 3) the remaining 5% of responses were classified as fast and successful losing weight without dieting and any effort.
What did you learn? Japanese facial massage implies an active effect on the skin and facial muscles, and connective tissues, and even on the bones of the skull. Asaha (as this technique is called) is performed not with the fingers, but with the whole palm. Massage ZOGAN <(another version of the name) has a beneficial effect on the muscles of the face, strengthens them, tones the skin, forms the facial contour, smoothes wrinkles, improves the appearance, and also produces a detoxification effect - that is, cleans the face and neck from toxins and toxins.
Zogan is a panacea:1) from swelling on the face, and to stimulate the outflow of lymph from the neck and face.
2) for the prevention of aging and the appearance of wrinkles.
3) to correct the contours of the face and improve the color and appearance of the skin.
4) to eliminate the "second chin".
5) in the fight against mimic wrinkles.
Performance technique
I found very good instructions for performing Japanese massage on the video channel of Alena Sobol. What Alena taught me seemed to be more adapted for a Russian woman than the original from the author of the method, Yukoku Tanaka. Along the way, I discovered another massage option: the ancient Japanese technique of preserving youth and elasticity of the skin, with a relief of dry and oily skin, acne, age spots, headaches and depression - cobido.

According to the results of online viewing of three dozen videos, fifteen video tutorials downloaded from the torrent, and one full-fledged video course found on YouTube, I started free practice at home. Because she simply could not afford to be generous in paying specialists at the moment.
She laid out the schemes in front of her, looked through the brief version of the lesson once more, and went ... to wash away, according to the habit, the applied, nourishing cream. Because the first rule of Japanese massage says: you can only massage cleansed skin, without a gram of makeup and without a drop of moisturizing agents. You can use only the massage base, to improve the slip of hands on the skin. Good fit:
- cosmetic cream or cosmetic milk for washing,
- linseed, olive, grape oil,
- oat milk, which is easy to get at home: pour the flakes with very hot water,
- mineral water mixed with a drop of essential oil.
You can learn the basic techniques in one or two times:
1) three fingers work: index, middle and ring fingers,
2) it is necessary to press on the point where the lymph nodes are located (for this you need to well learn their location),
3) press to perform along the entire length of the fingers, press tightly for 2-3 seconds,
4) all movements must be of the same intensity and downward towards the clavicles.
How I do it myself - self-massage
So, massage in the format of point pressure, the method is almost studied. Pro lymphatic drainage effect read four articles with a claim to the scientific. More than 60 photos and under a hundred pictures were studied, and almost all of the found videos were viewed, where Yukoku does the massage herself. There was even a telephone consultation with the mother about skin rejuvenation, gymnastics using the Revitonics system, and even an answer was received from some anonymous but very eminent doctor.
It would seem that everything was ready for a favorable start of the procedure. But I was able to start the massage only after five hours. At first I was dragged down by the jungle of Yandex, then I was fascinated by the Japanese therapy “shiatsu” (according to which point pressure can heal all diseases and ailments), and in the end I spent another hour and a half in the virtual school of Yevgenia Baglyk on facebooking. In the final of this five-hour epic, I wondered why I should study tsogan massage recommendations for a thin face, if my face does not fit into this standard of beauty either by one or the other.
In fact, when you train, such a massage takes about 12-16 minutes. You can develop a simplified version for yourself, a light version, so to speak, lasting 5-7 minutes. You can try the two-finger massage instead of the three-finger. For me personally, with two fingers, it seemed much more convenient to do "lymphatic drainage of the skin of the face." The difficulties were mostly with the work near the nasolabial folds, and that was because my skin was redder there.
For two weeks of practice, I did not notice any harm to my body from the massage, but the skin of my face began to look healthier (even without two layers of make-up plaster), and by the end of the third week there was even a lifting effect - my cheeks were tightened and everything that was attached to them. But this is a personal result — it can be different for other women. The massage was also useful for the neck - transverse folds or wrinkles became less noticeable. From the negative - I remember only that the beloved series has to be missed - because lying on the couch with a nutritious body was replaced by self-massage in front of a mirror.
Even with mom, we had a common theme for instructions to the younger sister: "that you need to start following yourself at twenty, so that at thirty, forty, fifty look efficiently and effectively without any mesotherapy, Botox injections, and hyaluronic acids."
As a means of self-lymphomassage, it turned out to be quite budgetary, since by the method of tests I realized that oatmeal milk or natural washing gel is best suited for my face. And the time it takes is not so much, much less than the right makeup.
Japanese facial massage video
Being engaged in a Japanese facial massage using the asahi zogan system, I first used the Russian voice acting of video tutorials. Then, in the mood, she wrote down her comment and uploaded a video to the blog along with a massage. Now I have been practicing Japanese massage on myself for the sixth month, it took about two weeks to study. I looked younger, the skin almost shines, and unfamiliar people no longer believe that I am older than my sister for years. It is assumed that we have a maximum difference of 3-4 years. This, of course, flatters me, especially since I have lost ten kilos in weight over the past six months, in time for the summer season. And most importantly, I began to pour out in the morning, having stopped spending several hours on a marafet.
True, there were several days when I did not massage because of a jumped acne (the first in six months, while they used to stay on my chin and cheeks all the time). But as soon as the uninvited guest was liquidated in the cabin with the help of a specialist, I continued to take care of myself. Moreover, I have no other contraindications, such as rashes, ARVI, pharyngitis and rosacea.
Japanese massage is practically a magic tool that helps to avoid close acquaintance with the world of plastic surgery. And the fact that I began to actively apply it, has already ceased to be a secret for my younger sister. The other day, she even asked to show her several ways to remove bags under her eyes. I think we will soon together make the facial contour smooth and soft, and the skin radiant.
