Thank you!!! I’m an Esthetician and I follow your instructions and they work!! I’ve so many fellow estheticians tell me that I’m wrong. So annoying. Thanks again for putting this out there!
I’m a Lanshin lover too and I yes- her techniques definitely work! As for your colleagues, let the results speak for themselves! My face is a testament to Sandra’s mastery when my friends, also middle-aged, say stuff like “You know that stuff doesn’t really work”. I say “Well, it’s part meditation and… this is the best my face has EVER looked
I am Chinese and born in the 60s and I totally agree with all the explanations on this video. I cringe when I see videos who think they know what they are doing and scrape downwards on the movement they should be doing upward moments
@@Connie_From_AZ , You mean, L.A.c. 😛 On that note, it would be concidered a fraudulent act to do so if they have no proper paperwork to prove their education in the field__similar to a person putting "M.D." after their name without ever going to medical school. 😺
@@debracisneroshhp2827 YES EXACTLY.... THANKS. I was more than half asleep when I wrote that and needed to head out. That's why I put etc etc. LoL. I see a lot of fake rental property investor with LLC on OfferUp, Craigslist and in FB groups. I'm happy to hear FB will be removing rentals, job search groups that have been abandoned and or with no admins. Anyway, if I made another error just lmk. It is 3:20 AM. I need to get back to sleep. 👏🏻
I am a licensed master aesthetician and I completely agree with you. Kendall has no license to say and teach this technique and she also has no knowledge of the eastern philosophy that goes with this. But because she is a celebrity, gullible people will believe and follow this. I have actually studied your technique many years ago amongst others. Thank you for your gentle explanation of the real facts. ❤
Pretty sure the world knows that Kendal is not licensed. Lol. The woman in this video is at least gracious about the way she points out the minor issues that were there. Kendal is just informing the world of her routine. No one takes anything a celebrity does as serious.
what does philosophy have to do with rubbing stuff on your face? I am asian too but I am an atheist and spirituality is nothing to me. Let Kendal use it, you just come off as a gate keeper
Kendall murders Gua Sha…Her speedy, rushing techniques will creat more wrinkles. Sandra’s proper forms and detail instructions makes great sense and so thankful for that..
I've been doing gua sha for a few years and I have been doing my neck all wrong, so this was very helpful. I also appreciated how she broke down how Kendall was doing her gua sha incorrectly, in a very positive uplifting way. Awesome video.
I just started incorporating Gua Sha into my skin care routine and had no idea the instructions that came with my tool were so wrong. They practically advise you to do all the WRONG things! Thank you for this informative video!
Funny how these “influencers” find OLD things and make them viral 🙄 You have a gua sha video that’s six years old! 🥰 Thanks for showing people the correct treatment procedures ☺
05:30 I totally sense what you are saying regarding heat and health. I have friends who, after many failed attempts to have a baby (miscarriages, etc), went to see a Chinese doctor. He said the mother should be warm at anytime and not to ever get anything cold around her belly (no cold baths, no going in the swimming pool, always cover her stomach in winter with an extra protection). And indeed, they now have a baby at long last.
I love the similiarity between TCM and Ayurveda. I hate that it gets watered down and altered so badly in the west! Thank you for sharing the authentic method of practicing Gua Sha. So very appreciated!
I think it is because they both come from a deep wisdom. 2 years ago I went to Panchakarma - ayurvedic retreat to India - it is a great way how to detoxify the body natural way. This year we are going again with a group of people for cheaper price. My friends goes every year as it helped her to heal the migrane. I like the holistic approach. We should understand the roots when doing something…I loved this video❤
I clicked on here because I wanna hear you. What Kendall does is not interesting to me because they have all the money in the world to do all the fixing on themselves in the world.
Yeah, for sure she's a fraud just like the rest of the family. She doesn't do Dua sha. She has fillers and Botox to tighten their skin. I hate the fact that they try to relate to us, when in reality they don't. 🙄
Hi! Medically certified, licensed massage therapist here!!!! I ALWAYS tell my clients to go authentic! As in go eastern authentic not western homogenized because you’ll be missing some of the most important parts of the service!
So glad your information is out there! I recently started “gua sha” and have been searching for good videos to learn. So I’m sticking with you. Thank you for your info and instruction. It is super important to know the origins and intent of what and where gua sha came from. As a Chinese American, my mom always talked about hot and cold and how we had to drink hot tea. I didn’t understand that until you explained about heat and cold for the body. Thanks again, really appreciate you☺️
This is so informative!! I've just started dipping my toe into Gua Sha, and I want to do it as correctly and with as much respect to TCM as possible. I've just subscribed; I feel like I'll learn a lot watching you!
I'm so glad this video popped up on my front page. I always skipped that stroke down the neck because I did not like that tension feeling, and it doesn't go down smooth. So I'm glad you offered a better method. Can't wait to try!
Thank you for this deep dive into the basics of gua sha down to the meaning. I realize I’ve been doing much to aggressively but have only been doing it a week. When you know better- you do better. Love the lesson on cold energy now I understand why I enjoy room and warm temperature beverages❤❤❤. Better digestion --something my great grandfather lived by.
I'm almost done watching this video. I HAVE to comment again, this is an excellent, excellent video!!! I've watched other "routine" videos, this is by far more instructive. 💥
Thank you so much for demonstrating the true technique of TCM, watching these other people who think they know what their doing and doing it wrong will create lose skin and added wrinkles especially the way these young influencers use the tools incorrectly.
Thank you so much for explaining proper techniques. I've always been fascinated by Chinese medicine and how it helps heal and works with the body, not against it.
Thank you for this info, it’s exactly what i needed from a professional. I’m here to learn and appreciate a cultural healing tradition. I love it. I don’t care about any celebrity and their beauty/health routine.
This was so eye opening. I always call Gua sha first and fore most lymphatic draining technique. But now realizing that it is only the first layer. But funnily I use gua sha first and foremost as a fascia release method. Now I know how to connect my speech and my action. 👌👍❤️
in addition to everything you said about icing the gua sha, many people have quartz or jade tools and icing them could cause them to fracture and break! especially once pressure is applied. people could end up injuring themselves…
I agree with you. As I have gotten older I have started gravitating to ancient medical and spiritual traditions. 2500+ years of study and observation of the human body and mind? Yes, please.
My Vietnamese license acupuncturists both say to eat and drink all of my consumables room temperature or preferably heated. Yes, that includes fruit juice and everything else the west is used to consuming cold.
Because drinking cold fluids in summertime means your body needs to raise the body temperature to warm the liquid up..nd you sweat more that's the reason why Arabs drink lots of hot tea
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us on how to use gua sha properly. I started to using it about a week ago, and coming across your channel has been so helpful. I am 55 years old, and it would be nice to see a video of using gua sha for mature skin if you haven't made one already or if there's a different way to use it for older women 😅 Thanks !
Also maybe start incorporating a tablespoon of sunflower seeds a day, or sesame seeds. Both are warm seeds, we take them leading upto our periods to warm up the body and reduce prostaglandins, so less menstrual cramps! Eating more chickpeas also helps
I'm so glad you popped up for me. I'm going to a TCM for several years and often hurts my feelings reminding me to reduce cold intake. I've been doing a similar guasha massage as you demo periodically for 4yrs. It seems to work well for me. I'm often complimented on my skin
When you were talking about cold vs warm. It reminds me of the principle of molecules- when they are warm, they move more rapidly vs the colder it gets the slower they move.
Love love love your educational videos including this one! This is amazing how you explain not only what is incorrect but also why and the correct ways also. So grateful for Cassandra Bankson who referred your page. You can tell how knowledgable and well educated you are and that you have the degrees and licensing behind it! Love a well educated Guru...particularly someone who comes from the culture/practices in question!
Thank you for your detailed explanation. In particular, the information about cold tools clarifies my longstanding aversion to cold objects touching my skin and even very cold beverages. My body appears to be communicating to me that these things are not beneficial to my well-being.
That's so interesting to learn ice is not considered healthy in TCM and I have Chinese lineage but my digestive in Human Design is a cold digestion. I am going to try limiting ice intake.
Just like most of the people watching your video, I research a lot regarding health, etc.... and explaining the the techniques makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the info!
I've always wondered what the benefits of using gua sha tools are (like the ones you've designed and used here) instead of just hands. Even though I'm gentle, I feel intuitively that using just my hands is better, but maybe I'm using the gua sha tools incorrectly? This video was so insightful and educational! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and instruction.
Using tools allows us to have more power, go deeper, get more results, etc! Using your hands is great for facial massage -- but it won't be Gua Sha! Gua Sha by definition is with a tool.
Thank you for the explanation. It’s very helpful. My questions are: 1. should we cleanse our face (again) after doing gua sha? Because there’s an oil residue..or we just leave it that way? 2. Is it okay to do gua sha when we are currently having some acne especially cystic acne? Because I want to do gua sha but I’m struggling with acne too😢
Great questions! We like to treat Gua Sha as the end of our skincare routine -- and the oil is the moisturizer! It gives a good chance to really work in all your products to the skin. If your skin doesn't love oils, you could always Gua Sha during the oil cleansing step! It is totally OK to Gua Sha with acne! Make sure you start with a clean face and a clean tool, and don't do it over broken skin or open pimples (cover them up with a pimple patch first!)!
Thank you. I was skeptical bc of the mass commercialization, I appreciate you explaining the nuances than just grabbing a tool from TJ Maxx & going to town on my face 😂
I purchased the tool that she uses in this video from Lanshin and it is very helpful and I was happy with the way my skin felt and looked after watching and following step by step :)
What exactly does gua sha do? I just got one because I’m trying to care more about my skin (aging and acne) but is it more of just a massage or reduces wrinkles or other health benefits? I don’t totally understand and am so new to this world of skin care and especially Chinese medicine/ tradition lol. I’m glad I found this video though it helps me understand how to use it properly so thank you!
Gua Sha helps circulate blood, fluids, and energy, which in turn can make the skin more vibrant and supple. Some find that by doing Gua Sha, the appearance of wrinkles is softened. That said, we encourage you to do Gua Sha to promote healthy skin and tissue as a primary goal, with cosmetic results being an extra bonus. You can check out this post we made on IG for more information on the benefits of Gua Sha! instagram.com/p/CpQ5lujOXjr/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Thank you! I just started gua sha and I keep it in the freezer 😬 because I assumed ice helps w inflammation and wakes me up. 🥶 that’s def gonna change, I appreciate this video.
Thank you for this! 🙏💖 Its absolutely not lymphatic drainage. It's really annoying when people with no training make videos about bodywork & healing techniques just because its trendy.
I wanted to try gua sha and your video is the first one I came across (beside the influencers on tiktok). I am so glad I found this video before trying it!!
Good information. I just got my kit. I used green tea extract and followed a UA-cam video for my first time. I only did the left side. I could see the difference. The oil didn't aggravate my skin either so thats a plus.
I enjoyed your video! Thank you for the great information. I was wondering, what are your thoughts on Rose hip oil with actives for the face such as vitamin c etc? Some dermatologists say that it's good and your also getting the benefits from actives also
Coconut oil is actually amazing for acne! I put it on my cystic zits and it heals them right up. It has great antimicrobial properties. I’m curious about the ice theory. I like my smoothie or fresh juice cold of course but I’m finding I don’t really like ice in my drinks or water anymore and I have pain and gut issues, basically a lot of autoimmune problems. I have also never liked icing pain. When doctors tell me to ice something, I don’t because I hate it so much.
@seaglassmamma4040, The thing about ice cold drinks and foods, it 'paralizes' the releasing of stomach acid, preventing proper digestion__hence, your digestive/gut issues. I've been educating on this subject for decades but people just do not want to believe it until they morph some of their habits__then, it's a revalation. 😛 Hope that explains it for you(?). 💖🙌😺
Uhm clicked on this by accident, and the passion in the speech kept me til the end. Amen
Me too!
Love the passion. I'll be staying now.

In Ayurvedic medicine also warmth is preferred over cold

I like my smoothie or fresh juice cold of course but I’m finding I don’t really like ice in my drinks or water anymore and I have pain and gut issues, basically a lot of autoimmune problems. I have also never liked icing pain. When doctors tell me to ice something, I don’t because I hate it so much.
@seaglassmamma4040,
The thing about ice cold drinks and foods, it 'paralizes' the releasing of stomach acid, preventing proper digestion__hence, your digestive/gut issues. I've been educating on this subject for decades but people just do not want to believe it until they morph some of their habits__then, it's a revalation. 😛
Hope that explains it for you(?). 💖🙌😺
Thanks for teaching us the right way to do it🙏
Came here to see what not to do. Very informative video, thank you.
Fantastic lesson! I have just used my gua sha tool from Lanshin! Greetings from Brazil!
I've applied water before applying oil or Vaseline to retain and absorb it in the skin. I experimented on my son's eczema...good outcome
Hey! Love your insight! I’m so curious about cold plunges now and if they are actually healthy for you. What are your thoughts?
