I was intending for you to go with your own feeling regarding this. The first aspect of the washing somewhat imitating you as you would actually wash your face, only with more energetic awareness in your touch, no pattern or numbers. Just relax and do it for a minute or so, don't count, completely relax, no thinking.. A facial massage by your definition, the underlying message > " completely smooth, completely youthful, etc." Then, finish with six more defined movements from harvesting qi. This isn't written in stone. Just suggestions, on my part, trying to cover all aspects with a SFQ perspective...
