Our face is often the first thing others notice about us. The skin, texture, imperfections, and everything else on display make a strong impression. As we age, our facial skin tends to lose its firmness due to a decrease in collagen. This change impacts our appearance, often making us look older than our age. This is when TCM’s technique comes into handy, specifically the Bojin massage.
What is a Bojin Facial?
A Bojin facial, also called Bojin therapy, is a traditional Chinese treatment that uses acupuncture and massage to improve the health of your skin and the way your face looks overall. "Bojin" means "meridian" in Chinese, which is a good way to describe the treatment, as it consists of stimulating the body's meridian lines, and helping it heal and balance itself naturally.
How Is Bojin Done?
For the Bojin facial, special tool called Gua Sha, which are usually made of jade or other smooth stones, are used to gently press on the face's meridians. The goal of this method is to:
Increase Blood Flow: A Bojin facial increases blood flow to the face by massaging the meridian spots. This brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
Encourage Lymphatic Drainage: The gentle rubbing helps the lymphatic system drain, which gets rid of waste and reduces swelling.
Balance Energy move: In traditional Chinese medicine, the meridian lines are thought to be ways for life energy, or "qi," to move. Getting this energy in balance can make your health and well-being better in general.
Benefits of Bojin Facial
Better skin tone and texture: By increasing collagen production and making skin more stretchy, regular Bojin facials can help even out skin tone and make it smoother.
Less wrinkles and fine lines: The better blood flow and production of collagen can make fine lines and wrinkles look less noticeable, making the face look younger.
Less puffiness: The lymphatic flow action helps to lessen puffiness, especially around the eyes, making you look more awake and refreshed.
Treatment for Stress: The slow, gentle movements of the Bojin face can be very relaxing, lowering stress and improving overall health.
Detoxification: The treatment helps get rid of toxins from the skin by stimulating lymphatic flow. This makes the skin look better.
How a Bojin Facial Works and What to Expect
A normal Bojin facial takes between 60-90 minutes and includes the following steps:
The skin is cleaned well to get rid of all the dirt, makeup, and other impurities that are on it.
Applying Oils or Serums: Good oils or serums are used to feed the skin and make it easier for the Bojin tools to move smoothly.
Meridian Massage: Along the face's meridian lines, the professional will use the Bojin tools to make a number of exact, gentle strokes.
Moisturizing: At the end of the process, a moisturizer is put on the face to keep it hydrated and protect the face from getting dry.
Who Needs a Bojin Facial?
Most skin types can benefit from a Bojin facial, but it can be especially helpful for people who want to:
Make their skin look better overall
Slow down the ageing process
Control your stress and help people relax
Deal with specific skin problems, like oily skin or uneven skin tone
