Every year, people spend millions of dollars in an effort to look younger, more energized, and

vibrant. Much of that money goes toward surgical procedures meant to turn back the clock.

And while they can certainly produce impressive results, they are expensive, often painful,

and come with serious risks.

What if I told you that just by spending a few minutes a day, you could achieve similar results

to a thousand-dollar surgical facelift? All you need is a little bit of knowledge about the

different “acupressure” points that have been used for literally thousands of years to improve

the look and quality of skin.

This program is 100% safe, easy to do, and effective.

If you follow the procedure set out below, your friends and family will notice the improvement

in your appearance and compliment you on it. You’d be surprised at the astounding results.

You will learn the correct way of stimulating these pressure points, so even if you know

nothing whatsoever about acupressure, you can begin almost immediately. Of course, you

will learn the locations of each point and how it specifically benefits your appearance.

With so little time and effort required, there is really no reason not to give it a try. So, read

on, and learn how to give yourself the most youthful, healthy, radiant face you can have.

Before we go over the various pressure points – also known as acupoints – you will be using

to rejuvenate your skin, we should say a few words about the massage technique itself.

First of all, you will be using only the pads of your fingers when touching the pressure points.

Which finger is up to you – use whichever one you are most comfortable with, including your

thumb. The important thing is that you do not use the tip of your finger because the fingernail

should not be involved at all.

Imagine you are finger-painting your face; that is the area of your finger that should be in

contact with your skin.

If you need to use a little extra pressure on a few of the pressure points, either use your thumb

or double up your fingers by placing the pad of your middle finger on the nail of your index

finger, before pressing down.

You should be able to apply more than enough pressure for most of the acupoints with just

one finger, but a few around the neck may require a little extra force.

In acupressure, you always want to feel like you are pressing from your center.

That is, you should feel a connection to your core as you massage your face and neck. This

does not mean press harder. It just means that you should be mindful of the chain of energy

that connects your fingertips all the way to the very center of your body.

Your pressure points are natural

indentations, notches, or recesses that you

can feel by running your fingers over them.

To demonstrate what this feels like, find

pressure point 7, located above your eye

socket, next to your nose. It’s best to use

your thumb for this particular notch.

Now let’s practice the technique. Using the pads of your fingers (again, always use the pad,

never the tip), gently press into this point. This tends to be a relatively tender spot, so go

slowly, and don’t apply too much pressure all at once. You want to stop just at the point where

the pleasant sensation is about to turn into pain. If you feel pain, you have gone too far.

Some people think that by pressing harder, they are stimulating and speeding up the process

of rejuvenating their skin. This is a wrong misconception. The face is the most emotive part

of your body, and it is going to reflect whatever you inflict on it. So, if you are massaging your

face forcefully every day, then not only are you not going to look young, you are just going to

look like you’re in perpetual pain. Now, that’s what I call an unflattering look.

Once you have reached maximum pressure with your finger, hold that for a count of 7. After

7 seconds, slowly release the pressure, but do not remove your finger from the spot. Rather,

hold it there lightly for a count of 5.

7 Hydralyft.com

Repeat this cycle three times for each point: hold the maximum pressure for 7 seconds –

release and touch for 5 seconds – press for 7 seconds – touch for 5. This will be the counting

method you will use for each point, unless otherwise specified.

It is very important that you remain relaxed and remember to breathe throughout the process

of stimulating your pressure points. It’s easy to tense up while performing this technique but

doing so will only cause this plan to backfire on you.

A major benefit of acupressure is relieving tension, so if you are reinforcing it through these

massages instead of relieving it, that is what your face will end up reflecting.

In the beginning, you will probably find yourself unconsciously holding your breath or tensing

your shoulders or neck (or maybe even your face).

That’s okay.

Just take a deep breath, loosen up your muscles, and remind yourself to relax. With time, it

will become second nature.

Also, remember to never rub the surface of your skin. This is not stimulation, but rather an

irritation, and will accomplish the opposite of what you are trying to do. The pad of your finger

should remain in contact with the same area of your skin from beginning to end.

Many people come to acupressure thinking that drastic results necessitate drastic measures.

That is not true. Pressing harder, rubbing vigorously, and stretching the skin are all

counterproductive. To get the most out of this practice, what you need is mindfulness, proper

technique, and consistency.

Being gentle and technically accurate (as instructed here) every day is all you need to do.

Again, when you are pressing, try to find that fine line between pleasure and pain. That is the

perfect place to stop. If you have a hard time getting the feel for this, you might find it useful

to follow the “4-pound rule”.

It is exactly what it sounds like. For the delicate areas of your face, you want to apply about 4

pounds of pressure. Of course, nobody can be certain what 4 pounds feel like, but you can

train yourself by practicing on a bathroom scale with a finger.

Once you get the hang of it, try doing it on your face instead of the scale with your eyes closed.

The technique outlined above is the most basic form of applying pressure to your pressure

points. However, you may want to experiment with small finger movements while at the point

of maximum pressure. These are completely optional, but you may find that you like some of

them better than the simple press-and-hold method, even if only on certain areas.

Pivot Method

To perform the pivot method, press the point until

you reach maximum pressure, then gently roll the

finger back and forth. As always, there should be

no sliding over or stretching the skin. The

movements described here are very subtle. You are

merely rolling the finger a tiny bit sideways

(towards the sides of the finger, that is, never

upward towards the nail) in order to change the

angle of the pressure. Do this for the allotted time

(usually 7 seconds), then release and gently touch

the spot for 5 seconds.

Circular Method

For the circular method, once you have achieved

maximum pressure, make small circles either

clockwise or counterclockwise, making sure the

contact between the pad of your finger and your

skin isn’t broken. Again, these are very small

movements, almost imperceptible. Later on, when

we ascertain the location of the individual points,

you will be instructed in which direction to circle

if you want to use this method, as each spot needs

to be treated differently.

9 Hydralyft.com

Pulsate Method

The final option is to pulsate your finger lightly when at maximum pressure. When you do so,

the movement should be directly on the pressure point. You should not move your finger

around or side-to-side. This means that the maximum pressure is going to vary slightly

throughout the duration of the hold. Again, this should be a barely noticeable movement.

Try each one of these techniques if you wish. You may find that one of them simply feels more

relaxing or provides better stimulation. It is also quite likely that one of these alternative

methods feel better on certain points, whereas a simple press-and-release approach feels

good on others. If you choose to adopt the press-and-release rule for all acupoints, rest assure

that it will still provide you with all the stimulation you need.

Also, always make sure that your skin is in good condition before you apply pressure to it.

Areas that are sunburned, scraped, cut, suffering from acne lesions, or otherwise in less than

full health should be allowed to heal before you perform acupressure there. Failure to follow

this rule will only result in further irritation to the area, which will cause your skin condition

to deteriorate.

While not mandatory, you may choose to perform a comprehensive neck and scalp massage

before starting on the facelift program. You will still see fantastic results even if you do only

the facelift program. However, the neck and scalp massages are a great way to help you relax,

relieve tension, and increase blood flow to your neck, scalp, and face. They can be beneficial

to rejuvenating your skin.

Whether you choose to do the optional neck and scalp massage or not, it is a good idea to rub

your hands together briskly for 30 seconds to a minute. Doing so will warm and energize your

hands, providing a boost to your self-massage and acupressure practice.

After that, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Imagine a calming, purifying warmth

rise through your body with each inhale, and then feel all of the tension draining away from

your body with each exhale. When you feel centered, clear-minded, loose, and limber, you

are ready to begin.

Neck and Scalp Massage Method

For this preliminary massage, we will begin with the neck. Many people hold a great deal of

tension in their neck muscles, so this area will probably feel pretty tough at first. You may

even encounter multiple knots that take more than one self-massage session to release. The

muscles are much stronger than you may realize; after all, they support your head and help

to protect the integrity of your spine. Therefore, you might need to push a little harder on

them than you do on your face. Of course, keep in mind that pain is never the objective.

Always stop before you have crossed the threshold of discomfort.

Also, bad physical habits like slouching in chairs, stooping to pick things up (which causes you

to crane your neck), misalignment when sleeping, and all kinds of other postural issues and

bad movement habits put an unnatural strain on your neck and back muscles every day. This

can lead to muscle imbalances, chronic tension, and other basic dysfunctions, many of which

can manifest on your face whether you realize it or not (for instance, in the form of the

“pained” expression you see on so many people).

Besides the increased amount of pressure that the neck massage requires, another key

difference is that you will only need to apply maximum pressure for 3 seconds, instead of 7.

So, the cycle for neck massages is as follows: hold the maximum pressure for 3 seconds –

release and touch for 5 seconds – press 3 – touch 5 – and repeat.

Back of the Neck Points

Now let’s get started on the massage.

The first point, which we will refer to as

Point 1A, is the large notch right at the base

of the skull, where it meets the top of your

spine. Press one or both of your thumbs into

this depression slowly but firmly, and begin

the cycle described above: hold maximum

pressure (firm but not painful) for a count of

3, then release and touch the spot lightly for

a count of 5.

Repeat this series of motion thrice. There,

you have performed the massage technique

for the first point!

Point 2A is located just below and to either

side of 1A. Because the massage technique

is bilateral, you will be stimulating both

points at once. Therefore, we will refer to

both of the points as 2A.

You will probably have to relax completely

in order to feel through the muscles at the

back of your neck to find points 2A-4A.

They feel like little notches or indentations

in the bony ridge at the base of your skull.

Once you have found 2A, press into both points with your thumbs (or alternately with your

middle finger stacked on top of your index finger) for the 3 second/5 second cycle described

above. From point 2A, move down and a little further out until you come to another small

depression, known as point 3A.

Repeat the above procedure here as well.

Page 12: Hydralyft - Amazon S3s3.amazonaws.com/Mentis/HydraLyft/dldl/5MinutesFacelift-pl.pdf · in rendering professional services. If legal, accounting, medical, psychological, or any other

12 Hydralyft.com

Point 4A is located in the large hollow area

just before the large bony ridge that

separates your upper neck from your ears.

This spot is much more prominent and easier

to find than spots 2A and 3A.

Simply feel around directly behind your ears

for a large rounded depression.

The muscles covering this area are not as

thick as they are toward the center of your

neck, so point 4A tends to be a little more

sensitive.

Use your thumbs to press into this spot firmly

but somewhat more delicately.

Points 5A-8A are located on either side of

your cervical spine, starting just below point

2A and ending just above where your neck

meets your shoulders. Find point 5A by

running your fingers directly downward from

2A until you feel a slight indentation, almost

like a soft spot in the muscle.

Just like with points 2A-4A, there are two

points each that are referred to as 5A, 6A, 7A,

and 8A, one on each side of your neck

vertebrae. When you have found point 5A,

use your thumbs (or double your middle and

index fingers as above) to press

simultaneously in and toward each other,

using the 3 second/5 second cycle.

Do the same for 6A-8A, once again feeling for

the “soft spots” in the muscle.

Scalp Massage

Now that you have loosened up the

muscles of your neck, it is time to give

your scalp some loving attention. A good

scalp massage is one of life’s greatest

treats. When you’re finished with this,

you should feel a glowing warmth that

extends all the way from your shoulders

to your forehead.

Start by placing both of your thumbs in point 1A, the large notch at the base of your skull.

From here, begin fanning your fingers out underneath your hair, moving from the back of

your scalp toward the front. Push down into your scalp with all four fingers on each hand as

you go back to front in waves.

This technique may feel a little awkward at first, but try your best not to use your fingernails.

After a few tries, you will start to develop a rhythm and it’d be easier to do. If you have long

fingernails, or if you find the technique hard to do, you may take your thumbs off point 1A.

Some people find it easier this way because it allows their hands to move freely.

Experiment with the movements of your fingers and try massaging your scalp in small circles

as you move along. Think about freeing up all of the tension and releasing all the negative

emotions you have, as if your fingers were actually massaging deep inside your brain. Take up

to 5-7 minutes to perform the scalp massage.

When you are finished, drop your hands to your sides and shake out your arms. Let them

dangle loosely, free of all tension and inhibition. Let your chin drop toward your chest and roll

your head from side to side gently. Your neck should move more easily and with a greater

range of motion, especially if you have been experiencing tightness in that area. The neck and

scalp massages are a great workout for your fingers, forearms, and sometimes even your

shoulders. Feel the warm glow in your head and neck extending all the way down to your

arms and fingers.

Now you are in the perfect condition to start the facelift massage.

Now that we have come to the facelift section of the program, you will be following the

protocol laid out in the section titled “How to Massage Your Pressure Points” above.

Specifically, you will be applying maximum pressure on each point for 7 seconds, as opposed

to 3 seconds like you did on the back of the neck.

The points are numbered 1 through 30, and they progress gradually from your hairline to the

bottom of your throat, right where your neck meets your collarbone. We recommend that

you go through them in numerical order, as this is the most effective and easiest facelift

method to remember.

Try to keep in mind the 4-pound rule, which was also outlined above in the “How to Massage

Your Pressure Points” section. The skin on your face is some of the most delicate skin on your

entire body. Pressing harder than this can cause damage to it as well as to the underlying

tissues. This is clearly not what we are going for. You will get the best results only by

massaging gently and regularly.

Some pressure points are easy to find, but sometimes, you need a little more finesse to seek

them out. But with time, you will know the locations of your pressure points like the back of

your hands as well as the amount of force that’s needed to feel just right. Therefore, even if

you never had acupressure done before, with a few days of practice, you should be able to

get the hang of it.

If you choose to use the circling method of applying pressure described earlier, follow the

instructions provided for each point as they will tell you exactly which direction you should

circle with your fingers. Of course, this is perfectly optional. Any of the aforementioned

methods of applying pressure will work just fine for most of the points.

It is best to perform the entire program at one time, going through each of the 30 points in

sequence. However, many of us lead busy lives, and we know that this will not always be

feasible. Therefore, you can break the program into a few segments that you can perform

when you have time throughout the day, for instance doing points 1-10 in the morning, 11-

20 at lunch, and then 21-30 in the evening.

Try to perform the routine once a day for the first thirty days. After that, a few times a week

is enough to maintain or improve the results. Of course, you may find that the routine

pleasant enough that you continue to perform it every day. This is even better, but by no

means necessary.

15 Hydralyft.com

Here are the 30-facelift pressure points you will be using. This is the start of the main program.

Points 1-11: The Forehead, Eyes, and Eyebrows

Point 1 is located at the hairline, directly above the

center of your eyes. The easiest way to find this point

is to trace a line with your fingers straight up from the

middle of your eyebrows to your hairline, feeling for

a small notch in the bone. This spot is great for

relieving tension headaches. Circle inward.

To find point 2, run your fingers directly downward

from point 1. Halfway between your hairline and your

eyebrows, you will find a small depression with a

slight vertical orientation. This spot is great for

relaxing your entire forehead, a place where lots of

tension tends to accumulate. This area, like point 1, is

helpful for relieving headaches that result from this

chronic tension. Circle inward.

Point 3 is right in the middle of your eyebrows. You

will know when you have found this spot, because it

is usually quite sensitive, which may come as a

surprise. The pressure you apply here tends to

radiate throughout the eye socket. Be careful to press

gently and don’t overdo it. Circle inward.

Point 4 is located directly between your eyebrows, at

the top of the bridge of your nose. Instead of doing the normal press-and-release cycle, spend

30 seconds to a minute tapping this point gently with your middle finger. It facilitates energy

flow throughout the upper portion of your face. Gently tapping this spot is a great way to

relax and smooth out your forehead muscles.

16 Hydralyft.com

Point 5 is located at the very inner edge of your

eyebrows, just a short distance to either side of

point 4. This spot, like point 3, is very sensitive.

Remember the 4-pound rule when stimulating point

5. Circle inward.

Point 6 is found at the very outer point of the

eyebrows, right at the edge of your temples. Feel

for a small notch in the bone. This is another great

spot for relieving tension headaches.

In fact, you often see people instinctively massaging this area when they are tired, suffering

from a headache, or experiencing eye fatigue, especially after sitting in front of a computer

for long stretches. Point 6 helps to rejuvenate and tone the muscles around the eyes, helping

you to refocus and makes you look more awake and alert. Circle outward.

Point 7 can be found directly under point 5. It is

located at the top of the bridge of the nose, right

where it meets the inner corner of your eye socket.

Your thumbs fit well into the hollow depression

here. Regardless the method you choose to

stimulate this area, you should always exert

pressure upward.

It is directly connected to your sinuses, which is why you see people instinctively massage or

pinch this spot when they have a sinus headache or infection. Circle upward.

Feel carefully around the upper edge of your eye

socket until you feel a small notch. This is point 8.

This point stimulates the muscles of the upper

eyelids, which can serve to brighten up your

appearance. Since it’s located so close to your eyes,

it is naturally one of the more tender areas on your

face. Press gently and be careful not to touch your

eyes. Circle upward.

17 Hydralyft.com

Point 9 is located at the outer corner of your eye

socket, right where the muscles of the upper and

lower eyelids join together. You should feel a small

gap in the soft tissue here. Circle outward.

Point 10 is at the center of the lower ridge of your

eye socket, directly below your pupil. You will find a

pronounced depression here. If you often have dark

circles under your eyes from lack of sleep, this spot

will help alleviate those. Circle outward.

Point 11 is on the center of the bridge of the nose,

just above the spot where the hard bone of the skull

meets the softer cartilage of the nose. Press with

your middle finger here.

When you have finished these points, you may wish

to tap each one in order lightly with your index or

middle finger.

This gives you a pleasant sensation and helps to further relax your upper face. Next, we move

on to the cheeks and nostrils.

Points 12-16: The Cheeks

Just a small distance out from the middle of your nostrils, you will find a small depression.

This is point 12.

Stimulating this spot helps to increase the elasticity

of the skin directly above the corners of your

mouth, tones the muscles of your cheekbones, and

reduce the appearance of wrinkles in this area.

Circle outward.

18 Hydralyft.com

Move your fingers outward from point 12 until you reach the spot just below and inside your

cheekbone. This is point 13. Stimulate this area to

add color and fullness to your cheeks. It is also

helpful for clearing sinuses. Circle outward.

Point 14 is about halfway between point 13 and

the center of your eye. It is a large, noticeable

notch on the upper part of the cheekbone.

This spot does many of the same things as point

13, and it also helps to smooth out the lines that

form with age on your upper cheeks, just below

the eyes. Circle outward.

Point 15 is located about an inch to an inch-

and-a-half below and outside the outer corner

of your eyes. It is a large depression near the

corner of the temple. This point tightens the

outer edges of the eye and helps erase the lines

that are formed by squinting. Circle outward.

Point 16 is directly in front of your ear, just to

the inside of your jawbone. This is a great place

to focus on if you tend to clench your jaw or

grind your teeth. Circle outward

Tap over the points you just got done stimulating, one by one, just like you did with your

forehead, brow, and eyes.

You may want to shake out your arms to help loosen the muscles. You may rub your hands

together like in the beginning, if you wish, before starting the next section.

Points 17-22: Mouth and Chin

Point 17 is located just outside the corners of your mouth. It can be a little tricky to find

because when you press on it you can feel your teeth underneath. If you pucker your lips, you

can feel where the muscle bunches up outside the corners of your mouth. Feel for the gap in

the muscles just inside of this. Circle outward.

Point 18 is located just above the corners of your mouth. When you press here, you can feel

the sensation radiate all the way up to your nostrils. Circle outward.

Point 19 is located halfway between your nostrils and your lips, just to either side of your

philtrum, the vertical groove under your nose. Press here to tighten and firm your upper lip.

Circle outward.

Point 20 is halfway between the bottom

of your nose and the center of your upper

lip. When you press here, you should feel

the energy radiating all the way around

the corners of your mouth.

Point 21 is located halfway between the corners of your mouth and your jawline, just below

the roots of your teeth. This point tones the entire chin and helps smooth smile lines.

Circle outward.

Point 22 is directly below the center of your lower lip, right at the top of the chin.

This point helps relieve tension around the mouth and chin.

Points 23-30: Jawline, Neck, and Throat

Just like with the back of the neck, you will only stimulate these points at maximum pressure

for 3 seconds instead of the usual 7.

Point 23 is located below the earlobe and just

above the point of the jawbone. This spot tends to

be sensitive. You can also massage this area before

you go to bed if you tend to clench your jaw when

you sleep. Circle outward and upward.

Point 24 is located directly behind point 23, where

the neck meets the jawbone. This spot tends to

feel blocked or painful after a long flight or other

sudden change of altitude. Stimulating this point

can relax your entire jaw. Circle outward.

Run your fingers forward along your jawline,

starting from the beginning. About an inch in, you should feel a large depression in the bone.

This is point 25. Stimulating the area underneath the jawbone relaxes the muscles of the

upper throat and lubricates the mouth with saliva. Circle backward.

Point 26 is halfway between the jawbone and the tip of the chin. Just like with point 25, you

want to press underneath the jawbone into the soft tissue just inside the bony ridge. This spot

also tones the front of the throat and underneath the jawline. Circle forward.

Point 27 is directly behind the chin. Press into

this spot with your thumb to tone the area

below the jawline.

Point 28 is the entire muscle that runs

diagonally from your ear to the large notch at

the very front of your collarbone, at the base

of your throat.

Pinch this muscle between your index finger

and thumb, rolling the muscle back and forth.

Continue doing this in one-inch segments until

you have massage the full length of the muscle.

Point 29 refers to the space at the front of the

throat. Place your fingers directly over your

thyroid gland, just inside the muscle you

stimulated in point 28. Gently knead this area

with three fingers on each hand.

Point 30 is located in the large notch at the

very top of your sternum, where the clavicles

meet at the base of your throat. Do not press

on the fleshy area inside this notch, but on

the bone itself. You can stimulate this point

for 7 seconds, just like the facial points.

And, that’s it! Congratulations, you have

completed the facelift program. Try to

memorize these points so you can stimulate

them without having to look them back up

again. In the meantime, however, refer to this

guide as often as you want.

Once again, you want to run through the full program once a day for the first month. Stimulate

all thirty points in one sitting if you can, but if not, break the program up into smaller segments

to make it more manageable. After this, shoot for a few times a week. Of course, more is

always better, but even if you only find time to do it once a week, that’s better than not doing

any at all.

It also makes sense to pay attention to the other things that affect the quality of your skin.

Avoid smoking, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink sufficient amounts of

water. Aerobic exercise is a great way to flush toxins from your skin to maintain a healthy,

youthful appearance.

And last but not least, make sure you sleep well. The duration and quality of your sleep greatly

affect every biological system in your body. A bad night’s sleep can make an immediate

difference (negative, of course) in the way your skin looks the next day. Over time, it will

become dry, saggy, and wrinkled. Take care of yourself, and your appearance will reflect that

effort. These simple methods, along with your new facelift routine, will help you look years

younger for a long time to come.
