• Acupressure Facial Exercise
    Begin by taking a deep breath through the stomach and exhaling through the mouth. Familiarize yourself with the pressure points on the facial chart before applying pressure to points 1-16 with your middle fingers. Maintain pressure on each point for approximately ten seconds while exhaling. The exercise is in two steps performed bilaterally on the face.

    Step one – Exhale while applying pressure on the following points.
    • Press point 1 in an upward motion. Hold for ten seconds while pressing your head into your fingers. Repeat the process on points 2-7.
    • Proceed by pressing points 8 and 9 with your middle finger only.
    • Using your thumb, press point 10 in an upward motion.
    • Using your middle fingers, press point 11 on both sides of the face in an upward motion and hold for ten seconds.
    • Using your thumb, press point 12 on both sides of the face in an upward motion.
    • Using your middle fingers, press point 13 for ten seconds. Do the same for points 14 and 15 on both sides of the face and hold for ten seconds.
    • Using both middle fingers, press point 16 (third eye).

    Step two – Breathe normally during this step.
    • Tap each point ten times with your middle finger. Follow in order of the pressure points from 1-15 on each side of the face. Hold point 16 (do not tap).
    • Complete the exercise by gently pressing the face from points 6-13, repeating the process until the skin feels warm to the touch.
