Human grooming

The skin of your whole body is criss-crossed by thousands of folds.
They were created by all your movements and expressions.
Your facial features are simply folds in the skin of your face.
These folds become more numerous and deeper with age.
Not only are they responsible for your aging and loss of beauty; they are also the cause of your everyday aches and pains.

Human grooming proves that cutaneous folds can be unfolded with your nails.
In fact, that's why you have flat nails.
Grooming your skin can:
● Restore your beauty,
● Eliminate your aches and pains,
● Heal nerve and blood circulation problems,
● Slow down aging,
● ...

There are three main human grooming techniques:

The best way to get rid of cutaneous folds and their crossings is to crush them repeatedly with your nails.
To perform a pressure stroke you simply press your nail(s) down on your skin, and apply pressure for some time.

Pressure grooming strokes can be classified into two categories:
• Short pressure strokes; lasting one second or less.
• Long pressure strokes; lasting several seconds.

Folds and their crossings become hardened structures inside your skin.
To restore the skin's suppleness, you must squash them by applying lots of pressure on them.

Water modifies your skin's texture, making it more malleable.
This allows for the use of a special grooming technique: facial fold forcing.

Aquatic facial fold forcing is not easy to perform.
That's because both hands are involved:
• You place the side of a finger inside a fold and, when you push it forward, it forces the opening of the fold.
• But, a finger from your other hand must hold the skin in place, and create a counter-pressure.

Superficial grooming is the natural way to remove the crust of dead skin cells that develops on the surface of your epidermis.
No masks, abrasives or treatments can compare with your sensitive nails to accomplish this delicate exfoliation operation.
If the cells aren't dislodged, they pile up and form a coat that thickens throughout your life, making your skin look dull, unattractive and old-looking.

To perform superficial grooming, use up to four fingers to rake dead skin cells off the top of your epidermis.
This is necessary because the skin's natural shedding (desquamation) process often doesn't reach its completion; so dead cells cling on and pile up, thickening your skin.
Superficial grooming is the only natural way to exfoliate your skin.

While the folds are damaging, the real problem comes from the places where two folds meet; the fold crossings.
The skin is so badly mangled at the fold crossings that holes, depressions, mounds and bumps are formed.

The center creates a chimney that dives deep into your skin, and that's where pain originates.

Your everyday aches and pains originate from your fold crossings.

Pressure points, used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, massage, acupuncture, ... are simply misidentified fold crossings.

When your repeated actions cause excessive cutaneous folding in the same location, your system protects itself by lining the bottom of the folds with coats of epidermis cells.
This is a part of your skin's natural wound healing system; called superficial cicatrisation.
The folds become permanent.

The people who provide these pain treatments have no idea of where the pain comes from.
You're putting your health and mobility at risk by following their advice.
The fact that there are so many pain clinics proves that none of their techniques actually work.

The same goes for pain relief remedies, products, and gadgets.

Your skin doesn't need hydration, except for water.
Creams, lotions, serums, ... interfere with your skin's natural desquamation process.
You don't want to preserve your old skin; you want to get rid of it.
You should never apply anything on your skin.

You can't understand skin with microscopes.
Your fingernails are the best tools for treating your skin.

Grooming resolves many health problems, from aches and pains to severe disabilities, blood flow restrictions and nervous system disorders, that scientists couldn’t explain.
This demonstrates that much of our knowledge about skin, pain, and aging is flawed.
When you locate your pain inside your skin, you stop worrying about its origins.

In 2002, I started experimenting on my skin with my nails.
At first the results were ambiguous, but I soon discovered a world of folds and fold crossings inside my skin.
I explored all kinds of methods to open up and remove the folds.
I realized that almost all my aches and pains were located at fold crossings, and that I could groom them away.

Humans are primates.
All other primate species spend a considerable amount of time grooming themselves every day.
There is no doubt that our ancestors groomed themselves in the past, and that we stopped doing so at some point in our evolution.

Grooming proves that the role of genetics and heredity in health and beauty has been greatly exaggerated.
Health conditions considered as illnesses or disabilities can be groomed away, and aesthetic problems can be cured without resorting to cosmetics or surgery.
Grooming represents beauty and ageless pain-free living for all.

I know that several people are repulsed by the idea of touching their skin with their nails.
Many will laugh and joke, but few bother to try grooming.
Nevertheless, grooming is effective and fun; it leaves you with a feeling of well-being, satisfaction and relief.
Don't read these pages without putting grooming to the test.
Try it out!

Grooming is 100% natural and free, using God-given tools.

Good grooming.
