Facial exercise is best combined with facial acupressure. Right now, i’m preparing a how-to video on the 1st part of the facial exercise that focuses on the cheek area. So in the meantime, i think it’ll be great to get familiar with the important acu-points on our face.
I’ve attached a chart here for illustration. Briefly, here’re the benefits of the various points:

Your diagram looks good, and information, too, but I need some more dialogue as to where exactly these points are – as I think #25 is actual in the indentation of the bottom of the chin and the drawing has it on the neck? Please give me more detailed information about how to find these points.
Hi! Will this DVD be available to UK residents as I’m very interested in purchasing it? I would find this easier to follow compared to a set of written instructions.
Kindest regards,
