The advantages and disadvantages of facial scraping techniques and precautions

Women love skin care and beauty, and when doing facial care, many female friends will also do facial scraping. It can not only help detoxify and beautify the face, relieve wrinkles, promote qi circulation and eliminate spots, but also has the effect of health care and beauty. But there are also things to note about facial scraping. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of facial scraping?

Benefits of facial scraping:

1. Facial scraping stimulates the epidermal nerve endings and enhances their conduction function. It can activate damaged, dry and weak cells, promote and restore the cells' own secretion, regeneration and cleaning functions, accelerate the discharge of metabolic products from the skin's sweat pores, and relax and clean the pores.

2. Promote blood circulation, whiten and remove spots, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, detoxify and resist oxidation

Facial scraping can accurately detect areas where meridians are stagnant and eliminate positive reactions (cold skin, fever, astringent feeling, subcutaneous salicylic and nodular tissue, pain, muscle tension, stiffness, atrophy, etc. are all positive reactions), quickly dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, improve deep skin microcirculation, and quickly eliminate skin metabolic waste from the blood circulation, thereby improving complexion, changing dull to rosy and bright, and effectively removing and lightening spots.

3. Shrink pores and tighten skin

Facial scraping can lift muscles, reshape the face, promote blood circulation, dredge meridians, promote skin metabolism, eliminate excess water and metabolic products, ensure that the skin has adequate nutrition supply, naturally shrink pores, naturally tighten and lift the skin, and change the face shape.

4. Smooth out wrinkles and delay aging

Clear the supply channels of cell nutrition, restore and enhance the skin's own ability to absorb and utilize nutrition. The thermal effect produced by scraping increases the flow of blood, lymph and body fluids, which continuously increases the blood circulation supplying the skin, replenishes water and nutrients to moisturize the skin, reduce wrinkles and delay skin aging.

5. Indirect regulation of internal organs

Facial scraping stimulates the meridians (there are nine meridians running on the face), acupoints (there are many acupoints on the face) and holographic areas, and can indirectly regulate the internal organs through the conduction of the meridians.

Disadvantages of facial scraping:

Some dark spots will be left behind (this is normal and is a sign of toxin elimination), but they can all be eliminated. In addition, long-term scraping can easily cause the following problems:

1. Long-term scraping without restraint will cause damage to the skin tissue. It will not only fail to help relieve fatigue, but will also increase the burden on the body.

2. For people with skin ulcers or other skin diseases, scraping is not a pleasure at all, but a torture. It will cause greater damage to the already fragile skin tissue and even cause infection, aggravating the condition.

3. For people with blood diseases, or friends with heart or liver problems, scraping should be avoided as much as possible, as it can easily cause greater harm to the body.

4. Start scraping. The starting and ending points and sequence of the scraping route are as follows:

(1) Chengjiang - Tinghui (2) Dicang - Tinghui (3) Renzhong - Tinghui (4) Yingxiang - Tinghui (5) Bitong - Ermen (6) Qingming - Ermen (7) Below Zanzhu - Taiyangmiao (8) The forehead is divided into three sections - Taiyangmiao

5. Use the scraping board to gently massage the entire face.

6. Follow the scraping route described in 4, and scrape from the forehead to the chin, that is, from line 8 to line 1. Lift the left cheek, lift the right cheek.

7. Use the scraping board to gently massage the entire face. 8. Neck route: follow the nerves along the lymphatic path, gently scrape from behind the ear to the clavicle, and drain the cervical lymph fluid downwards.

Things to note when doing facial scraping:

The technique must be gentle. Hold the fish-shaped scraping board and lightly scrape along the meridians. Do not use excessive force.

1. Facial scraping depends on the skin condition. If your skin has acne, inflammation and allergies, facial scraping therapy is not suitable for you.

2. Before performing facial scraping beauty treatment, check whether the beauty scraping board used is intact and see whether the edge of the scraping board is round, smooth and without cracks. If so, you need to replace the scraper board.

3. When scraping with all your heart, the force on your hands must be gentle, and the technique and direction of scraping must be correct. Use the blunt end of the scraping board to avoid hurting the skin.

4. When scraping your face with cotton, be sure to use toner. If you use a hard board, you must use massage cream or beauty essential oil. This will protect your skin while scraping and ensure a smooth process.

5. During the scraping process, both the big and small heads of the scraping board are used. The big head can massage the facial lymphatic system, lift and tighten the facial contour, while the small head can be used to press acupoints and relax the skin.

6. When scraping the forehead wrinkles or nasolabial folds, you will be troubled by the lines. At this time, you need to use one hand to flatten the lines and then scrape them. This will have the effect of lightening the lines.

7. After facial scraping, the blood circulation of the facial skin will be accelerated. At this time, the effect of using skin care products can be doubled, and the skin can absorb them well. Therefore, after scraping, be sure to apply lotion, or apply a facial mask or eye mask.

8. If you use a hard board to scrape your face, you only need to do it 1-2 times a week.
