I really wouldnt press your under eye area like that, its very delicate tissue and you could end up damaging it and creating indentations there. It would be better to try vividly imagining pressure or massage there.
@thisisnotmygherkin : Well, factual positive experience can be read through the hundreds of comments below !... Imagining is definitely not enough. The secret is in dosage, no need to press hard or stretch the skin.
I can not find all the points. Is it possible to have less points or flat points which cannot be felt? If that is the case can I just randomly press on the area where it is suppose to be there.( eg: if it is at the bottom corner n I am unable to find the point,can I just press it there)
@Dalek1230 : Please specify where that nerve is so that everyone can benefit ! For the record, all points used in that exercise are acupuncture points, they have been used for hundreds of years, and are safe :)
Do I have to press the points very softly or a little hard? And I would also like to know that will this even help me to get rid of dark circle if I don't have proper 8hr sleep ? Your reply will be very helpful :)
@supreetmann : Press a little hard. Unless the point is sore, in which case adjust the pressure (no need to feel pain!). As for the dark circles, NOTHING compares to sleep :) If the cause of your dark circles is sleep deprivation, sleep. If your dark circles are there all the time, acupressure will get rid of them on the "long" run (practice the exercise twice a day until they don't show anymore, and then once a day and then a few times a week). Hope it helps!
I love this video and I do see a difference, but I have to agree with the other posts about you not doing all of the pressure points you mentioned around the eye sockets in the video. I just guessed and did the remaining points. It was the middle one above the eye and the inside corner on the bottom. Are we supposed to do those or leave those out? Thanks you for posting. I also am doing overall face exercises. DO you happen to have any acunpucture pressure spots for sagging jowels?
Also, I have a little problem finding the indentations. =/ No one else seems to have any trouble doing it. =P I think (but I keep losing it) I can feel the one right under your pupil and the one in the upper corners but I have trouble finding the rest. =P Also, I think only the indentation in the upper inner corner hurts. I have allergic asthma and a couple of other allergies. Is there anything I can do alongside this to improve my dark circles? Also, will this thicken the skin under the eyes?
@azkhno01 : No one else in these posts, but each time I conduct a workshop there is at least one participant who has some difficulty finding the points, so you are not alone :) Some of us have very hollow indentations, almost flats, and we are not perfectly symetrical so your indentations might be slightly displaced from the exact lines I describe in the video..
@azkhno01 : Regarding your other questions: 1) If the indentation in the upper inner corner hurts, work on it and do the complete exercise only after it doesn't hurt anymore, and drink a lot of water for a few days (Bladder meridian is affected). 2) The exercise will not thicken the skin under your eyes.
=) I think I love you! =D Do you mean I should only do the upper corner massage until it stops hurting? I have had a BAD urinary infection (probably a side effect of taking strong antibiotics for follicular tonsillitus) and drug induced diarrhea. I don't think the infection is completely gone but I can't go back on antibiotics so am taking cranberry juice. This is probably why I look so horrible right now! =P
@azkhno01 : Thx for the love! Yes that is what I mean: work on the upper inner corner points only for a few days/a week. Given your medical condition, I would recommend that you have an acupuncture session to treat your full Bladder Meridian.
Hey! I saw this is in the morn and just pressed the pressure points briefly to feel where they were as the vid went along. I went to sleep then (since I'd had a long night) and when I woke up I had to blow my nose where lately I've just had an itchy nose when I got up. So I decided to do the whole thing just now and, yes, I am having to blow my nose even more. It's like I just took an anti-allergy! Does this have something to do with the massage or is this a coincidence? =P
@azkhno01 : Nose and eyes are interconnected,it is not a coincidence. It is a very good sign: the exercise helps draining your nose too. Just go on until there is nothing to drain anymore!
i just tried this and my vision is a little blurry lol but i do notice a difference just with the first time. thanks a mil!!!! ill do this for a week and do my best to report back on how its working :)
how long would you need to use this until you get an adequate result where you'll no longer need to use it? considering I will be taking other steps like sleeping more....so on and so on. thanks
Brilliant video! btw my mother tried this very popular diet called: Impact 790 Diet and dropped 6 kgs within just a month. I can't remember the website just Google it.
Wow, the first time I did this it worked almost right away! I noticed a visible difference.. But I have one question. Since you can only do this two times a day, how long should you wait between each time?
@annecosse What if you have extremely intense under eye circles(mine practically go down to my cheeks) and I'm also genetically prone... Will this work? I don't want to do this if it doesn't work/:
@XxXThatOneEmoKidXxXx : That wouldn't be enough to erase everything, but that would certainly help. There's no harm in trying: give it a shot for a week (and I'm interested in your post experiment feedback)
Hiya. Thank you for this. I just need you to clarify if you do ALL of the pressure points like in the corner on the bottom eyelid, or just the ACTUAL points you demonstrated?
@misswhiplashish You deonstrated where all the pressure points are but you didn't work on all of them in the video. I think there are about eight pressure points but you only worked on four :) thanks!
@misswhiplashish : Sorry for the delay to reply I didn't see your post! There are 6 points. You work on some of them separately, and end up working on all of them with the last step (circular "massage" all around the orbit).
I did this... I cant actually believe that this gave me some decent results even from the moment I did this. My eye area looked... fresher, more relaxed and less tired. Im getting older, Im ageing, Im getting wrinkles about the eyes and bags at times. Kinda makes me unhappy to see it. Thanks for putting this out there for free.
@CalicoWinged : Do NOT practice more than twice a day, that could be too much for your system to handle. Don't forget that acupressure has a global therapeutic effect, so the same way you don't want to overdose on medication, you don't want to receive too much acupressure in the day/week.
I started doing this exercise just recently, and I just have a question. Do you release after every time that you apply light pressure, or is it just after the first time?
@Danachii : Release is part of the pressure process, so I'm not sure I understand your question! For each point, you position your finger, you press, you release. Each point, every pressure.
My esthetician told me to do something very similar massage to this one - She told me to press the bones around the eye area and massage the temple. This video is more specific on how long and where to press. Thank you.
wow. my eyes feel refreshed. i only massaged the upper inner indentation and a little on my eyelids. i came across this as i was searching for ways to make my under eye wrinkles go away. im a kid, what the hell. I'm 15. but i've been going to sleep with concealer on and that really wrinkled my eyes. urgh.
@SunsettBeach14 : Yes of course it works on teenagers, but what is your issue at such a young age? The number of times depends on the severity of your actual situation: big bags/dark circles = start with twice a day. It's all explained at the end of the video.
@annecosse Well I just have dark circles and i don't think it's hereditary. I think I might try this out a few times a month (give or take) considering the severity of my situation is probably not that bad in reality and I am so young :)
@SunsettBeach14 : I see. Don't do that exercise just once in a while, it would be useless. Practice it twice a day for a few days to 1 week. Then you can repeat the cycle anytime, but do it seriously each time :)
@annecosse Yeah after I sent you that message I changed my mind haha. I am going to pratice it the recommended amount of times and then repeat the cycle anytime :) I am so glad I found your video and if I remember I will report back in about a month and let you know my results. Thanks for replying back to my messages, it's so amazing that you still comment back even after a year! :D Thanks for your advice.
All these positive comments make me really want to try it :) and my bags just make me want to try everything :D I will let you know if they go away :)
Hi Anne, I've been using your method for about 1 week and I've seen noticeable improvement. I also find it very relaxing. One thing that I do while using your method is to use a heavy amount of face cream so i don't feel like I'm tearing any tender tissue. I'm so happy I found this video....thank you.
I have another question, the skin around my eyes look a bit sore, agitated, puffy and tired (I started the exercises this morning). Is there a possibility that my eye could look worse before they start to look better?
I have another question, the skin around my eyes look a bit sore, puffy and tired (I started the exercises this morning). Is there a possibility that the eyes look worse before they start to look better?
Hi Anne, great video! I have a question: When I press the indentations in the bones underneath my eyes, even though I am not pressing the actual area where the skin is delicate, I feel as though the delicate skin in this area is still being damaged because I have to apply pressure on the skin in order to push down on the under eye accupressure points. I am therefore concerned that this is going to result in wrinkles. Just wondering if you had any advice about this please? Thanks very much :)
@Natashalovespushka : Hi! The trick is to keep your finger as still as possible, and to position it first delicately, then press. Also, make sure your finger nail is short enough so as to not damage the skin.
Since about May this year, I woke up one day with pronounced puffy eyes and darkness under my eyes. And it does not go away. I'm really self conscious about it. I look sleep deprived, or sick, or like I've been crying. It sucks so much. I'm only 22 years old and have tried pretty much every home remedy. I will try this! I hate this puffy dark bags under my eyes.
@contreras123 : Have you tested for allergy? If puffy eyes appeared over night, it looks like an allergy to something new (mascara, facial cosmetic, pillow, laundry powder... etc).
@annecosse Yes, I have spent a lot on doctors and allergists, and it seems like it is allergy related. But my problem is that my body has not responded to any of the medicine. I'm the same. It's really strange.
@annecosse yeah I did it just now. The first pressure point i felt slightly painful. But my vision was abit blurry whilst pressing the rest of the pressure points. I hope it works on my hereditary greenish dark circles. *fingers crossed*
@AnbuPrincess : Start by twice per day until you like the result, then decrease to once per day and then decrease to a few times per week. That is if you are in your forties and more. If you are younger, you can start with once per day only.
@FluffyyAS11 : And BTW, my experience as an acupressure therapist prompts me to strongly recommend you get a couple of shiatsu full-body sessions! It seems your energy flow is down and/or disrupted.
@annecosse i have got a cold at the moment is it because of that? I tried this massage yesterday and had a very bad headache afterwards and my eyes were hurting
@FluffyyAS11 : Headaches are a sure sign of dehydration. Acupressure, as well as massage, induces your vital energy to work again and boosts the self-curative abilities of your body. That process flushes toxins, and you have to drink a lot of water after any acupressure/shiatsu/massage session. Your headache was triggered because your toxins can't be flushed away properly: drink water.
Your cold has nothing to do with working on your eyes!
@FluffyyAS11 : What do you mean by "hurting my eyes" ? If the points you apply pressure on are sore, it means they are blocked. Apply very light pressure, do not massage, and work on them 10 seconds only. As for your eyes going blurry, it's not always the case. What I say in the video is: IF your eyes go blurry, don't worry.
@naomiechevy954 : Capillaries are way stronger than that! Anyways, the pressure is applied on the acupuncture points, there's no capillaries there. And finally, the pressure is mild. Go and try!
im 26 Yea old male and have noticed my bag situation getting worse .I have tried other remendy's and so far nothing Hopefully this one helps a little, Thanks for the Upload Will check back in a month :)
OK - I was VERY skeptical of this video. But I've gotta tell you - it works. My eyes have gotten noticeably younger looking in just three days of doing this. The dark circles under my eyes have been lessened significantly, and my eyes are looking much less tired. I don't know how it works, but I'm a believer. Thank you Anne for generously posting this video.
@sonicwonder2000 I love this too! I have been doing this for a number of months now and I can definitely see / feel the difference I just never got around to commenting. I love the way my eyes look the morning after doing this!
i don't have puffy eyes, its more like.. hallowed ? im 17 and have dark circles and sort-of deep lines .. will this work to get rid of the lines (tighten up the skin somehow?) dont know what to do :( i look SO MUCH OLDER because of this. it's embarrassing.
@Glamworld1 : Only fat cannot be removed by acupressure. If your issue is dark circles, they most probably are due to very thin skin, or hereditary pigmentation. You might want to read all the comments on that topic.
@xosailormoongirlxo : No it's fine! My comment in the video is just that IF your eyes get blurry, don't panic, it's just that the points around the eyes are full.
I'm 17, & I have the weirdest sleep pattern, I go to bed @ around 3-4am & wake up @ 11pm but that's 7hrs sleep so I get enough sleep. But recently started noticing lines under my eyes with little puffiness, make me look really tired or if I've just woke up & I don't like it. Why does this happen?? & how do u get rid of them?
@PLNxUK : Try the facial acupressure exercise in my video. It that doesn't work, try these: remove your eye make-up thoroughly before you go to bed; try organic eye make up and skin care products; drink more water before you go to sleep and/or at night; have your tear ducts checked by an eye doctor; if you smoke, do not smoke at least 2 hours before you go to bed; if you sleep with aircon have the filters checked and cleaned;
I'm 18 and for whatever reason have the most ANNOYING puffiness under my eyes. No amount of sleep or frozen spoons seem to help. Do you think this will work? I SURE hope so!
are boys suppose to have these cause i got them bad.and does the spoon in the fridge really work cause ive tried it about 3 times and i havent notice any change.
@MrHockeyking33 : Boys and men have them too! I am not a big fan of the frozen spoon trick: it's traumatizing for the delicate skin around the eyes, and the effect can only be temporary anyways...
All y'all with hereditary problems: It isn't going away no matter what product you use, no matter how much sleep you get or water you drink, no matter how many cucumber slices, tea bags and cold spoons you place on your eyes...
@annecosse Thanks for replying! Also, does it matter if I am standing, sitting or lying down while doing this exercise? Sorry about all the questions I just want to make sure that I am doing it the correct way.
@starrsvm : Don't be sorry, I truly enjoy reading all the comments, and answering all the questions! Well, yours is fun, it's the first time I hear it :) You can stand or sit, but not lie down. And don't forget to relax the shoulders, and to breathe.
i have bag under my right eye only?do you know what could be the reason?also this didnt work for me i tried to apply on my right eye but i must be doing something wrong
@kharboka : If you have one bag only, it looks like there is a malfunction (tear duct? lymph?). Go and see a doctor. Also, the other reason why this exercise would not reduce an eye bag is that the bag is full of fat. Fat can only be removed with surgery.
Thank you for this video, it's really helpful. I have a question though. I can feel the fluid draining but I'm wondering how to tell if it's working. I have really bad dark circles and sometimes they're red-ish and sometimes they are purple/black. Which color is a better sign that it's working?
@starfish999 : Fluid would be linked to puffiness, not to dark circles. Dark circles are about blood vessels and skin color and thinness. Feeling the fluid draining is a proof in itself that it is working. But what is working is reducing the eye zone congestion.
Hi Anne, I only have puffiness at the locations you are pressing in exercise 3 (along with dark circles). Does that mean that fluid is only pooling in that spot? I'm thinking maybe it's my sinuses. Thanks for the video... I will try this.
@lusitana70 : Puffiness is usually due to an excess of lymph, or an excess of fat. Fluid might be pooling in your indentations, if they are quite wide or deep. If you suspect your sinuses, follow your intuition: try to treat your sinuses.
Hello Anne, I can feel and hear fluid moving after the final gentle rub of the eye lid. Does this mean I am removing excess fluid? It is in my left eye which happens to have a larger "pouch" than the other (significantly - to me anyway). Approximately how long will it take to see results? Can you do this procedure more often to get quicker results?
@talamasca2010 : 1) You are removing excess fluid indeed! If after 1 week practice you still remove that much fluid, go and see a doctor to check why you make so much fluid. 2) Results are visible after a few days to 2 weeks, depending on people. 3) Do NOT practice more than twice a day. That procedure is based on acupressure, which is a therapy modality, therefore handle with care, avoid overdose on your energy (Ki) system.
My MOTHERS the same AGE as you ANNE! I personally have no issue with my undereye bags,even though Im 29,and Im fascinated by my my mums ones,as they give as a certain "just made it,established" sort of air about us
@st2293 : your meridians are very unbalanced, so when you work on even a few points your energy system reacts a lot. For 1-2 weeks, just press lightly on 2-3 points only. Those 2-3 points can be different every day. The ideal would be that you indulge in a full acupressure or acupuncture session (you probably need more than one, actually) to get your system back on track.
I really wouldnt press your under eye area like that, its very delicate tissue and you could end up damaging it and creating indentations there. It would be better to try vividly imagining pressure or massage there.

@annecosse Yeah after I sent you that message I changed my mind haha. I am going to pratice it the recommended amount of times and then repeat the cycle anytime :) I am so glad I found your video and if I remember I will report back in about a month and let you know my results. Thanks for replying back to my messages, it's so amazing that you still comment back even after a year! :D Thanks for your advice.

Hi Anne, I've been using your method for about 1 week and I've seen noticeable improvement. I also find it very relaxing. One thing that I do while using your method is to use a heavy amount of face cream so i don't feel like I'm tearing any tender tissue. I'm so happy I found this video....thank you.

Hi Anne, great video! I have a question: When I press the indentations in the bones underneath my eyes, even though I am not pressing the actual area where the skin is delicate, I feel as though the delicate skin in this area is still being damaged because I have to apply pressure on the skin in order to push down on the under eye accupressure points. I am therefore concerned that this is going to result in wrinkles. Just wondering if you had any advice about this please? Thanks very much :)

Since about May this year, I woke up one day with pronounced puffy eyes and darkness under my eyes. And it does not go away. I'm really self conscious about it. I look sleep deprived, or sick, or like I've been crying. It sucks so much. I'm only 22 years old and have tried pretty much every home remedy. I will try this! I hate this puffy dark bags under my eyes.

@annecosse Yes, I have spent a lot on doctors and allergists, and it seems like it is allergy related. But my problem is that my body has not responded to any of the medicine. I'm the same. It's really strange.

@FluffyyAS11 : And BTW, my experience as an acupressure therapist prompts me to strongly recommend you get a couple of shiatsu full-body sessions! It seems your energy flow is down and/or disrupted.
annecosse 5 months ago
@annecosse i have got a cold at the moment is it because of that? I tried this massage yesterday and had a very bad headache afterwards and my eyes were hurting
FluffyyAS11 5 months ago
@FluffyyAS11 : Headaches are a sure sign of dehydration. Acupressure, as well as massage, induces your vital energy to work again and boosts the self-curative abilities of your body. That process flushes toxins, and you have to drink a lot of water after any acupressure/shiatsu/massage session. Your headache was triggered because your toxins can't be flushed away properly: drink water.
Your cold has nothing to do with working on your eyes!
annecosse 5 months ago
This is starting to hurt my eyes, it says my eyes will go blury but why are they hurting?
FluffyyAS11 5 months ago
@FluffyyAS11 : What do you mean by "hurting my eyes" ? If the points you apply pressure on are sore, it means they are blocked. Apply very light pressure, do not massage, and work on them 10 seconds only. As for your eyes going blurry, it's not always the case. What I say in the video is: IF your eyes go blurry, don't worry.

@PLNxUK : Try the facial acupressure exercise in my video. It that doesn't work, try these: remove your eye make-up thoroughly before you go to bed; try organic eye make up and skin care products; drink more water before you go to sleep and/or at night; have your tear ducts checked by an eye doctor; if you smoke, do not smoke at least 2 hours before you go to bed; if you sleep with aircon have the filters checked and cleaned;

kharboka 9 months ago
@kharboka : If you have one bag only, it looks like there is a malfunction (tear duct? lymph?). Go and see a doctor. Also, the other reason why this exercise would not reduce an eye bag is that the bag is full of fat. Fat can only be removed with surgery.

Thank you for this video, it's really helpful. I have a question though. I can feel the fluid draining but I'm wondering how to tell if it's working. I have really bad dark circles and sometimes they're red-ish and sometimes they are purple/black. Which color is a better sign that it's working?
starfish999 9 months ago
@starfish999 : Fluid would be linked to puffiness, not to dark circles. Dark circles are about blood vessels and skin color and thinness. Feeling the fluid draining is a proof in itself that it is working. But what is working is reducing the eye zone congestion.
annecosse 9 months ago
Hi Anne, I only have puffiness at the locations you are pressing in exercise 3 (along with dark circles). Does that mean that fluid is only pooling in that spot? I'm thinking maybe it's my sinuses. Thanks for the video... I will try this.
lusitana70 9 months ago in playlist FACE MASSAGE
@lusitana70 : Puffiness is usually due to an excess of lymph, or an excess of fat. Fluid might be pooling in your indentations, if they are quite wide or deep. If you suspect your sinuses, follow your intuition: try to treat your sinuses.

annecosse 9 months ago
Hello Anne, I can feel and hear fluid moving after the final gentle rub of the eye lid. Does this mean I am removing excess fluid? It is in my left eye which happens to have a larger "pouch" than the other (significantly - to me anyway). Approximately how long will it take to see results? Can you do this procedure more often to get quicker results?
talamasca2010 9 months ago
@talamasca2010 : 1) You are removing excess fluid indeed! If after 1 week practice you still remove that much fluid, go and see a doctor to check why you make so much fluid. 2) Results are visible after a few days to 2 weeks, depending on people. 3) Do NOT practice more than twice a day. That procedure is based on acupressure, which is a therapy modality, therefore handle with care, avoid overdose on your energy (Ki) system.

st2293 10 months ago
@st2293 : your meridians are very unbalanced, so when you work on even a few points your energy system reacts a lot. For 1-2 weeks, just press lightly on 2-3 points only. Those 2-3 points can be different every day. The ideal would be that you indulge in a full acupressure or acupuncture session (you probably need more than one, actually) to get your system back on track.
