Acupressão

Relieve Tension + Stress to Feel Invincible.

Self-acupressure is an ancient healing method rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By applying gentle pressure to specific points on the body, you can relieve tension, ease pain, and improve energy flow. Unlike face yoga, self-acupressure extends beyond the face — targeting the shoulders, scalp, hands, and more — making it a holistic tool for stress relief and emotional balance. Paired with HotChi’s Mood Boosting Skincare, these techniques offer a powerful fusion of physical relaxation and skin nourishment.
