Eye Bojin

The eyes often show the first signs of aging, fatigue, and stress. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and noticed puffiness, dark circles, or tension around the brow area, you're not alone. While creams and masks can offer some relief, more people in Singapore are turning to eye bojin—a gentle, traditional technique that helps relax the facial meridians and improve circulation around the eyes.

Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine principles, this massage-based therapy focuses on clearing blocked energy points around the eyes to promote smoother skin, brighter eyes, and reduced puffiness. Eye Bojin treatments are now offered at many facial spas in Singapore, often as a standalone session or as part of a full facial routine.


What Is Eye Bojin?

Bojin therapy uses a smooth jade or horn tool to stimulate acupuncture points and meridian pathways. For the eye area, this is done with precise movements that glide along the brow bone, temples, under-eye area, and crow’s feet zone.

The technique:

  • Promotes lymphatic drainage

  • Increases microcirculation

  • Relieves muscle tension

  • Encourages collagen stimulation

Unlike harsh scraping or strong pressure massages, eye bojin is gentle, rhythmic, and calming. It’s suitable even for people with sensitive skin or thin under-eye areas.


What Happens During an Eye Bojin Treatment?

A typical session begins with:

  • Light cleansing around the eye and brow area

  • Application of a hydrating or calming serum

  • Use of a smooth Bojin tool to massage specific points around the eyes

Movements are upward and outward, designed to lift and release tension. The therapist may also work on temples, forehead, and even the scalp to relieve pressure that contributes to tired eyes.

A session usually lasts 20–30 minutes and can be done on its own or with a full facial.


Benefits of Eye Bojin

Regular Eye Bojin treatments may support:

  • Reduction in eye bags and puffiness

  • Soothing of tired, strained eyes

  • Lifting of droopy eyelids

  • Lightening of dark circles

  • Relief from tension headaches or sinus pressure

Some people even find that their eye makeup applies more smoothly after treatment, thanks to the improved skin texture and circulation.


Who Should Try Eye Bojin?

Eye Bojin is suitable for:

  • Office workers who spend long hours at the screen

  • People with chronic dark circles or under-eye swelling

  • Individuals with frequent tension headaches

  • Those who prefer non-invasive, natural beauty techniques

  • Anyone looking to relax and unwind without a full facial

It’s also a good option for those who want eye area care but are sensitive to strong product-based treatments.


Can Eye Bojin Help with Wrinkles?

While it’s not a wrinkle eraser, regular Bojin work can stimulate blood flow and help skin look fresher and more supple. Combined with hydration and sun protection, this treatment may support smoother fine lines and better skin tone over time.


Is Eye Bojin Safe?

Yes. Because it uses light pressure and natural tools, it’s generally safe for all skin types. Always go to a trained therapist familiar with facial acupressure points, especially when working near the delicate eye zone.

If you have severe eye concerns, active infections, or have had recent surgery near the eyes, speak to your therapist before booking.


How Often Should You Do Eye Bojin?

You can schedule Eye Bojin:

  • Weekly for visible improvement

  • Biweekly for maintenance

  • Monthly for relaxation and mild support

Some clients incorporate it into their usual facial schedule, while others prefer it as a quick 20-minute pick-me-up during lunch breaks or in between errands.


Does It Hurt?

No. Eye Bojin is relaxing and gentle. There should be no pinching or scraping. You may feel light pressure and warmth as circulation improves, and some people report a very soothing sensation like a light lifting massage.


What Tools Are Used in Eye Bojin?

Therapists often use:

  • Ox horn tools (for traditional energy work)

  • Jade or quartz stones (cooling and calming)

  • Ceramic smooth tools (for better glide with serums)

The tool is always smooth and curved to match the contours of the eye socket and brow area.


Why Choose Eye Bojin Over Other Eye Treatments?

Unlike sheet masks or eye creams, which only work on the skin’s surface, Bojin activates the energy flow beneath. It blends Eastern wisdom with modern self-care—without needing machines, needles, or downtime.

It’s natural, non-invasive, and often surprisingly effective for its simplicity.


Can You Combine Eye Bojin with Other Treatments?

Yes. Eye Bojin is commonly paired with:

  • Hydrating eye masks

  • Lymphatic facials

  • Guasha or Bojin for the face

  • LED light therapy (red or near-infrared)

Many salons create packages that address the whole face but give extra attention to the eye zone through Bojin.


Eye Bojin vs Eye Guasha: What’s the Difference?

Though similar in concept, they differ in technique:

  • Eye Guasha may involve slightly firmer strokes and more scraping motions

  • Eye Bojin uses lighter, rhythmic tapping and sliding, focusing more on meridian stimulation

Both can be beneficial, but Bojin is usually gentler and more suited for frequent use around the delicate eye area.


Tips Before Booking Your First Eye Bojin Session

  • Avoid wearing eye makeup

  • Let your therapist know if you wear contact lenses

  • Mention any sinus or headache issues—they can tailor the session accordingly

  • Drink water after to support lymphatic flow


Eye Bojin at Chrysalis

At Chrysalis, Eye Bojin is one of the most requested add-ons. Clients often say it feels more relaxing than a head massage and love the results:

  • Brighter eyes

  • Reduced fatigue

  • A refreshed, “lifted” feeling

It’s ideal for anyone who wants eye-focused care without using machines or undergoing injections.


Eye Care Beyond Bojin

For lasting eye area care, combine Bojin with:

  • Daily SPF around the eyes

  • Hydrating eye gels with peptides or hyaluronic acid

  • Quality sleep and screen breaks

  • Gentle cleansing to avoid irritation

Bojin enhances what you do at home—it’s not a replacement but a beautiful support.


Final Thoughts: Why Eye Bojin Is Worth Trying

In a fast-paced world where screen time and stress are constant, Eye Bojin offers a pause. A moment to reconnect with yourself. A way to care for your eyes—not just cosmetically but energetically.

It’s an experience that speaks to your skin and your system. And sometimes, the gentlest things make the biggest difference.
