Oh yay! Can't wait to hear more about this. Whenever I used to do gua sha (especially after I was just starting out after not doing it for awhile) a pimple would randomly form. I thought it was the oddest thing. I would like to get back into gua sha so hopefully this video will inspire me to do so!
Wow thank you so much! I’m breaking out a lot lately with no apparent reason (maybe my nervous system). Please share more cause everything is so interesting 😍
Yes please! Please do make an acne gua sha tutorial ^^ I have acne prone skin, and tbh it comes and go. Currently I am looking into gua sha when I come across this video. Perfect timing
Fascinating. I don't have acne or breakouts, but I found this very informative. Loved the detail about why misting is necessary to allow an oil to absorb into the skin. I love oils for cleansing as well as for moisturizing. The few times I've had a breakout caused by face oil, it was early in my use of them, and I'd used too much. Very little oil, applied gently after a mist, is what works for me. Sandra, I recently moved from San Francisco to Seattle. If I lived in New York I'd come in for treatments with you, both gua sha and acupuncture, but I'm on the opposite coast. Do you know of a respected gua sha/Chinese medicine practitioner in Seattle? I live Downtown by Pike Place. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Indeed I find most people who hate oils often use too much at once or without dampening skin first. If you go to instagram and dm us or email support@lanshin.com, my team will send you a link to a post we made with lots of recs for practitioners outside New York ❤
I would love to learn more about your favorite herbal skincare preperations ( oils, creams, cleansers etc and even supplements ). There is such an oversaturation of products on the market and unfortunately and painfully so, the wisdom of TCM is unfortunately left in the dust.
I started to use my Gua Sha with an acidic cleanser that is very milky actually! Before I found this video of yours! Before I was using mineral oil as it was what I had in hand, but I really liked the cleanser with it, now I'm not sure what the second oil you recommend is as you said it was a blend and has a name like a fantasy name right? What oils does it have? The first one I remember, it was black seed oil, I will look after this one! Thank you!!
I would love an acne gua sha tutorial!! I’m just starting and having an oily skin was troubling me to find a good product to prep the skin, also is almond oil good for acne skin?? anyways thanks a lot for the video!!
I recently started gua sha, following your tutorial. And its just the best! But unfortunately, I too have a purge going on. They are small whiteheads in the places I used to have acne - feels like skin’s throwing out its residual trash haha. My question is - How should I move forward with my routine now? I have some whiteheads on my chin & some on my forehead, do I completely skip those areas?
By washing off the oils after doing guasha, do I need to use my facial cleanser again? Or do I simply wash it off with water? Very informative thank you!
I use the cera ve toner, ordinary hyaluronic acid, and cera ve moisturizer. during the day time I use curology sunscreen. are any of these acne triggering because whenever I use them I don’t break out, and when ever I use gua sha I break out. sometimes I wonder if I break out waxing my face. please let me know if it’s possible from waxing face
We would recommend doing Gua Sha over an oil-based or balm cleanser rather than a water-based or gel cleanser because it will provide more slip for your tool.
Keratosis Pilaris can be tricky to treat, but we do have some topical products that may be of help. Internal remedies can also help but are more of a commitment and investment. If you’re interested in starting with topicals feel free to DM or email us at support@lanshin.com.
I get big angry zits in my armpits! 2 weeks after starting a Face Yoga & Gua regime, there they are! Could this have to do with lymphatic drainage? (I spend a LOT more time on Gua, The Lanshin Method, of course! But I typically start or end with some face yoga around the eyes.) Is this just me?
It sounds like you’re saying you started Gua Sha and face yoga and 2 weeks later developed large painful pimples at your armpits? My initial thought is that it is unrelated to doing face Gua Sha, but more details would help. Feel free to email us at support@lanshin.com ❤
Hi- we need more details to provide you with an accurate answer. Gua Sha isn’t known to enlarge lymph nodes if that is what you mean? Feel free to DM us or email support@lanshin.com

Yes I’d love to see this on an acne client. Thank you for the tips 💚
I love your videos!
Thanks so much I love all of these informative videos! Can you splash warm water on your face instead of using a facial mist?
Yes! We often use distilled water instead of a hydrating mist on patients with extremely reactive skin!
You’re a wonderful teacher, thank you ❤
Thank you! Very informative - as are all of your videos!
That makes me happy to hear! ❤

Please make guasha tutorial for acne prone skins 🙏🏻
I use baobab tree oil 100% natural and is good i use it in tanaka massage as well .
Thanks for the useful and detailed information. Can you make this savable so that I can find this again, easily?
I would love an acne gua sha tutorial!! I’m just starting and having an oily skin was troubling me to find a good product to prep the skin, also is almond oil good for acne skin?? anyways thanks a lot for the video!!
We don't work much with Almond Oil! I personally love to work with Black Seed Oil for oily and acne prone skin
I recently started gua sha, following your tutorial. And its just the best! But unfortunately, I too have a purge going on. They are small whiteheads in the places I used to have acne - feels like skin’s throwing out its residual trash haha.
My question is - How should I move forward with my routine now? I have some whiteheads on my chin & some on my forehead, do I completely skip those areas?
If they are open pimples, try covering them up with a pimple patch and then doing Gua Sha!
I am sensitive to squalane oil. It itches me. I startes ro buy HMC coconut oil but more for acne prone, because normal coconut oil breaks out.
Please tell us about using a combed edge of gua sha tool 🙏🙏
I‘m new with Gua Sha but I love it!! How can I clean my tool properly? Thanks ❤
Hot water and soap :)
@@Lanshin oh thank you for answering 😘
Hello, I'm hearing you say WHEN you do Gua Sha--how often should it be done? Should it not be done daily?
Thank you for the great video. How do I clean the gua sha stone after use?
You can clean your tool with soap and warm water after use!
How about using tamanu oil? Is it recommend for acne prone skin?
Hello mam, can we use Steel Gua sha on regular basis instead of crystal Gua sha ? also your videos are extremely informative. God bless you 🥰
Yes you can!
By washing off the oils after doing guasha, do I need to use my facial cleanser again? Or do I simply wash it off with water? Very informative thank you!
You would want to use a cleanser if you go with this method! Water alone isn't super effective for washing oil off
Hello ❤ do you suggest rosa moschata oil to work with gua sha on the face?
