To massage and reduce dark circles under the eyes, follow these steps: 1. Locate the acupoints: Identify the eye-related acupoints, such as Yintang (at the midpoint of the line connecting the inner ends of the eyebrows), Jingming (in the depression slightly above the inner canthus), and Cuanzhu (in the depression at the beginning of the eyebrow). 2. Finger pad massage: Use the pads of the index and middle fingers to gently press the Yintang point. Press approximately 10-15 times, then massage clockwise and counterclockwise for 15-20 circles each. Apply similar techniques to other acupoints such as Jingming and Cuanzhu. 3. Circular massage: For acupoints such as Yuyao, Sizhu Kong, and Simian, use the pad of the index finger to massage in circular motions from the outside toward the inside for 1-2 minutes each. Apply moderate pressure during the massage, avoiding excessive force. Additionally, maintaining good sleeping habits and avoiding prolonged late nights and excessive eye strain can also help alleviate dark circles.
