Takeaways

🌟 Facial complexion issues like lack of glow, spots, and acne may be due to blocked meridians, which prevent the absorption of nutrients by the skin.
🌿 The concept of 'loosening the soil' for the skin is similar to caring for plants, where massaging and moisturizing are equivalent to watering and fertilizing, but without loosening the soil, nutrients cannot reach the roots.
👵 Different meridians on the body can affect the face in various ways, such as liver meridian causing sensitivity and pigmentation, heart meridian leading to dryness, spleen meridian resulting in sallowness, lung meridian causing large pores and acne, and kidney meridian leading to dark circles and dull complexion.
🛠️ Using a thick gua sha board or a rounded green sandalwood meridian comb can help in facial meridian dredging, which is less likely to damage the skin's stratum corneum.
📍 Key acupoints for facial meridian dredging include 'Ren Zhong' (between the nose and upper lip) and 'Cheng Jiang' (depression between the lower lip and chin), which are used for positioning.
🔄 The first step in facial meridian dredging involves a sequence from the 'Ren Zhong' to 'Cheng Jiang', then to the chin, earlobe, hairline, and finally to the 'Shen Ting' (midpoint between eyebrows).
💆‍♀️ Meridian dredging differs from facial Gua Sha in that it targets both the meridians and Qi (energy), while Gua Sha primarily affects the skin surface.
🧘‍♀️ Dredging should be done with attention to the direction and angle of the meridians, and it should be adjusted according to the shape of the face and bones.
🚫 After meridian dredging, avoid washing the face, especially with cold water, and instead, use a dry towel to remove excess oil before applying skincare products.
🧴 It's important to perform a thorough facial cleanser and moisturize before starting the meridian dredging process, possibly using essential oils or moisturizing lotions.
🌙 The benefits of facial meridian dredging include improved skin texture, reduction of acne, and enhanced absorption of skincare products, leading to a brighter and smoother complexion.

Q & A

-The main purpose of facial tendon-loosening, as described by Li Xiao, is to unblock the meridians on the face, allowing nutrients to be better absorbed by the skin, improving skin health, and addressing issues like dullness, spots, and acne.
How does Li Xiao compare facial skincare to gardening?
-Li Xiao compares facial skincare to gardening by likening facial massages and hydration to watering and fertilizing plants. Just as loosening the soil is necessary for the nutrients to reach the roots in gardening, unblocking the facial meridians is essential for the skin to absorb nutrients effectively.
What are some signs of blocked meridians in the face according to Li Xiao?
-According to Li Xiao, signs of blocked meridians in the face include sensitive skin, dryness due to lack of moisture, yellowish complexion, enlarged pores, acne, dark under-eye bags, and a dull complexion.
What tool does Li Xiao recommend for facial tendon-loosening and why?

Can you describe the material and features of the meridian comb used by Li Xiao?
-The meridian comb used by Li Xiao is made of genuine green sandalwood, which has a light sandalwood scent and a greenish color that becomes more aromatic with use. It's also very handy for massaging the scalp and pressing body acupoints.
What specific facial areas are targeted in the facial tendon-loosening technique?
-The technique targets several areas including the area between the nose and the upper lip (Philtrum), the depression between the lower lip and the chin (Chengjiang), the temples, along the jawline to the collarbone, and around the eye sockets.
What are the benefits of unblocking the Renzhong (Philtrum) and Chengjiang (area between the lower lip and chin) acupoints?
-Unblocking these acupoints helps improve facial skin's sensitivity and appearance by allowing better flow of qi and blood, potentially reducing issues like spots and dry skin, and enhancing overall skin health.
What does Li Xiao suggest doing before and after the facial tendon-loosening process?
-Before starting the facial tendon-loosening process, Li Xiao suggests cleansing the face and applying some moisturizing products like essential oils or lotions. After the process, one should not wash the face immediately, especially with cold water, but instead use a dry towel to remove excess oil and then apply skincare products.
What is the difference between facial tendon-loosening and regular facial scraping as described by Li Xiao?
-Facial tendon-loosening involves a deeper manipulation that affects the meridians and qi-blood flow beneath the skin and above the bones, while regular facial scraping mainly affects the skin surface and does not address the meridians.
What are the overall effects of regular facial tendon-loosening on the skin?
-Regular facial tendon-loosening can lead to clearer, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles and increased absorption of skincare products, making the skin appear more vibrant and healthy.

😀 Introduction to Facial Meridian Therapy

Health management expert Li Xiao explains that despite various beauty treatments, skin may still lack luster and suffer from spots and acne due to blocked meridians, which prevents the absorption of nutrients. Using a gardening analogy, she emphasizes the importance of 'loosening the soil' for nutrients to reach the roots. Li introduces facial meridian therapy as a method to unblock these meridians, allowing for better nutrient absorption and improved skin health. She identifies five meridians that affect facial health: liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney, each associated with specific skin issues. She recommends using a thick scraping board or a meridian comb made of green sandalwood for the therapy, which is effective, non-damaging, and portable. The video also introduces two acupoints, Ren Zhong and Cheng Jiang, which will be used for positioning during the therapy.

😌 Techniques for Facial Meridian Therapy

The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform facial meridian therapy, starting with the Ren Zhong to Cheng Jiang area, moving to the jaw, earlobe, hairline, and then to the Shen Ting and eyebrow center. It emphasizes the difference between meridian therapy and traditional facial scraping, noting that the former is a two-way regulation involving both meridians and qi (energy), while the latter is more superficial. The video outlines nine lines for therapy, each targeting specific areas of the face to improve circulation and reduce blockages. Techniques include moving from the Cheng Jiang to the Di Cang (mouth corner), from Ren Zhong to Di Cang, from mouth corner to Jiache (masseter muscle area), around the nostrils, from the infraorbital area to the nasolabial folds, from the nostrils to the ear and clavicle, and around the eye area. Each movement is meant to enhance blood circulation, reduce wrinkles, and improve overall skin health.

😉 Post-Therapy Care and Benefits

After performing facial meridian therapy, it is advised not to wash the face again, especially with cold water, to avoid closing the pores. Instead, one should use a dry towel to remove excess oil and then apply skincare products. The video highlights the importance of pre-therapy cleansing and moisturizing with essential oils or moisturizers. It also suggests that if any painful or knotty areas are found during therapy, they should be worked on with the meridian comb until the blockage is resolved. The benefits of the therapy include improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and enhanced absorption of skincare products, leading to a brighter, smoother, and healthier complexion. The video concludes by thanking viewers for their support.
