UA-cam algorithm is on a new level. I've only been thinking about my emerging double chin yesterday. Though, my coworker did talk about it. I don't remember having my phone with me.
I appreciate this video so much. I agree about neck health. My jaw is normally pretty defined, and my neck is usually slender and long, but because my neck was misaligned resulting in muscle tightness, I started to lose my definition and my neck looked very thick. After I got my neck adjusted at the Chiro and acupuncturist, my jaw instantly came back and my neck looks normal again. With your videos, I now know how to prevent it from happening again.
I missed my physical therapy app yesterday. She works on my neck tension. This video helped tons to help release my neck. I feel so much better. Thank you. This advice is indispensable.
Hello Sandra! To me is a huge pleasure to watch your videos and learn more about gua sha! I’ve been doing since the first time I watched you and OMG my life has changed since then! I bought some tools (wish I could buy yours but not yet.. yet!) and every single day I do my gua sha, in the morning and night before bed.. I suffer from bruxism and since I started to do gua sha.. everything changed! Thank you so much!!! I’m a fan of yours! ❤
Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for posting about the strumming! I am learning so much from your tutorials. I love the garden metaphor to help visualize the how and why for these movements! I already use body stretching and manual massage with my hands on the skin to move my energy so this is confirming to what I already intuitively felt to do, but I'm enjoying having a tool to use on the skin along with these techniques and excited to see what results come from being consistent. I've taken what I've learned from your facial work and applied it to working on the rest of the body but I would love to see a routine from you that I could incorporate for the whole body. I am also curious if you would work on the front torso of the body (the chest and abdomen) with a Gua Sha tool and how you would do that. For my back, since I can't reach it myself, I could just use my foam roller. I did take a look through your classes and didn't see one specifically on the lower body.
Uhmmm idk if its my imagination.... but I noticed that my jawline was A LOT more visible when I finished the rutine, my skin is sooo soft and that thing about the flem is true LOL
My neck has loose turkey looking like need help with tool please 🙏 show video on how to lift my center of neck looks like a gobbler now please can u help. Your amazing 👏 🤩 ✨️ finally 🙌 found you God bless
Would love a tutorial for puffy under eyes and dark circles. I know there is one you can buy but a quick demo for us people with zero 💵 would be amazing. Thank you for all your amazing knowledge.
Thank you your videos are very interesting. Though, There seem to have confusion of the different layers of the face. The fascia and muscles are much deeper than what you seem to hit with your gua sha and the bulge under the chin is fat layers under the skin.
Wow, I am so glad i found this channel, you are so professional! Subscribed and gonna look for more interesting videos of you.😎 Thank you for sharing! 😍😍😍
Love your videos!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Can you show how to reduce or eliminate the tear trough puffiness that happens. Thank you again!
Thank you that was very detailed and informative. May I ask about the electrode type thing that was in your opening video. Is it similar to microcurrent on top of the Accupunture needles?
You are so sweet:) That is an electric stimulation machine that we use often in Acupuncture practice. This one I used microcurrent energy to lightly stimulate needles during a brow relaxation treatment.
Hey Sandra, Thank you for sharing your experiences. They're really helpful. Please share 'mouth gua sha' technique, please. Like how to do gua sha on smile lines etc.
We just did a class called TCM Eye Lift! You can find the playback on lanshin.com. We also have a bunch of other short routines on IG, like this post we made on eye Gua Sha: instagram.com/reel/C1dGHFquMgP/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Hi I am new to your channel and I love the massage For my neck and I started today by the way do you have anything for under eye bags I would love to see if you have a video on that thank you so much
Hi, love your videos. I use my Gua Sha tool daily. It’s fabulous ( I have a pink quartz). What techniques with the Gua Sha tool can help with Marionette lines above the lip area. Please advise. Thanks🦋
Thanks so much for sharing this strumming technique, Sandra! 🧡 Probably a strange question.. but I'm just curious how long this particular neck & jaw lifting technique would have been around for? Thank you! I'm still enjoying doing the Gua Sha routine as per one of your videos from some time ago now! Best wishes! 🧡💫🧡
Tbh I'm not really sure. I started doing this intuitively during patient treatments. And now use it often, even on myself! It's similar to the Bo Jin technique I discussed 2 videos ago, except this strumming technique creates more vibration. It reminds me of Qi machines - or vibration plates...except for the face:) I love what a bit of strumming and soothing smoothing Gua Sha strokes can do!
I am very acneic but want to start doing this. What would u recommend for a facial oul that WILL NOT cause an acne breakout? Thank you this is wonderful.
I tried this with my regular gua sha tool and it feels amazing ! Can this also be done on the back of the neck? (I’m a pole dancer with flexible arms and shoulders 😂)
You can get a great result with just a hydrator (you can even use distilled water), followed by an oil. You could try adding few drops of black castor oil (my favorite is by Shea Terra) into whatever cream or lotion that you use. Or, you could pair black seed oil with a few drops of castor oil on top of damp and skin. We carry both on lanshin.com if that helps!
This cream leaves my skin with a dewy, glowy finish that amazes me every time I use it. The trick is to apply it like a mask, painting it on until the whiteness of the cream disappears and you’re left with a light layer. Like some kind of magic trick, your skin is suddenly mega moisturized and plump as a peach. The way it reflects light in some ways better than actual makeup blows my mind. And I don’t only see it on my skin, I see it on my patients too!
Adipeau actually glides through the hair follicles into the skin and activates the production of new small fat cells that lift our skin. That's why one should only finger paint it on and let it absorb for at least 10 minutes. I love this cream. Thanks for this great video!
Always good to check with your MD or personal acupuncturist first! But it can be okay to massage directly on it, as long as you're using super gentle force -- I’ve had patients and students tell me how helpful it has been for their thyroid condition (or helping them discover a goiter condition).
You should always ask your injector when they recommend that you do facial Gua Sha or massage after a fresh injection. In general, I use the guideline of three weeks after a fresh injection -- this is when I would feel comfortable doing Gua Sha on Botox treated areas.
I want juicy skin!! The girl in the before and after. My skin is like that!! Did she use a special acne treatment? Or did she fix that with just guasha?? 😮 I need to know!!
Hi Sandra, if I want to apply serum, do I put it on after I’m done with gua sha. This is off the topic but I saw one of your video about millet helping with sleep. What time of the day should I be eating it? Thank you so much. Have a nice day.
You can apply your serum whenever you normally would -- i.e. after hydrator and before oil. Doing Gua Sha on top of your products helps work them into the skin! As for millet, we would recommend around dinner time in the evening so that it can help you get restful sleep.
We like to treat Gua Sha as the end of our skincare routine -- and the oil is the moisturizer! The Gua Sha helps work your products in to the skin. So we typically don't wash the face again afterwards.
If you’re looking to see visible results, consistency is key! We would recommend doing Gua Sha at least 3 times per week to see noticeable changes. If you’re looking to see big changes in your face, you can try doing 30-40 minutes of Gua Sha daily for 2-4 weeks, then dropping the duration and frequency to be in a maintenance phase
Hi I'm brand new to this routine, can I ask how long does it take to notice a difference? I don't have too bad a skin in 53 and have recently noticed my jaw and neck are looking a bit ( not much) slack
Hard to say for certain, I would try doing this every day for 3-4 weeks, and make sure you take before and after photos -- it can be hard to lose track of progress when you are looking at your face every day.
Yes! There are oils that are specifically formulated for this. Some of our favorites include the black seed oil from Shea Terra and the Sea berry oil from Apoterra!
will this help with Jowls/sagging cheeks/mouth corners? I'm 32 with and almost 3 year old and now I'm starting to get forehead lines and jowls 🥲any budget friendly advice ??
Doing Gua Sha consistently (3+ times per week) can create visible changes in your face! Everyone’s results are different and depend on their skin and facial muscle, but we would suggest working these areas every day for a month, and take pictures to see what changes you notice. In terms of budget-friendly products, we really love Shea Terra’s line for affordable but high-quality mists and oils.
I am always working on my neck to tighten my neck, but I also have bags under my eyes and eye lids seem to make my eyes look smaller how can I correct this?
A consistent Gua Sha routine can help your undereyes! If you are interested, we did a whole class about it here: lanshin.com/collections/on-demand/products/2845307
UA-cam algorithm is on a new level. I've only been thinking about my emerging double chin yesterday. Though, my coworker did talk about it. I don't remember having my phone with me.
I know! It’s scary when this happens. Happens to me too! I wonder…..am I THAT predictable?
I bought a gua sha kit today. I didn't tell my phone either or even discuss it with the phone ....
Its true,its happened to me too
Yeah. Happened to me too. Scary. Big Brother is both listening & watching.
They are spying on you…and all of us!
Her skin is GORGEOUS!!!
Here's what I'm telling you in the comments. I love you and you are bringing my face back after cancer treatment.
I appreciate this video so much. I agree about neck health. My jaw is normally pretty defined, and my neck is usually slender and long, but because my neck was misaligned resulting in muscle tightness, I started to lose my definition and my neck looked very thick. After I got my neck adjusted at the Chiro and acupuncturist, my jaw instantly came back and my neck looks normal again. With your videos, I now know how to prevent it from happening again.
Thanks Sandra, you are my first and best gua sha and face/body teacher. Such a great message you spread!
The strumming is so satisfying. After I did this, I felt the tension at the top of my head release.
She so transparent and smart ❤❤Love
I missed my physical therapy app yesterday. She works on my neck tension.
This video helped tons to help release my neck. I feel so much better. Thank you. This advice is indispensable.
Absolutely love TCM - especially for skincare. You are such a gift to us to learn how to do it properly.
I like this technique, very relaxing. I can feel circulation in my neck. Thank you 😊

That feels amazing - I was not expecting that. 10/10 stars of amazing. And all did was use my hands!
Nice work!
Sandra Hello 🌸 it’s day one and I love it. Teeth grinding has tension dissolved. I feel a huge release. Enjoying being in the present. Thank you 🌸

I will definitely share more on how to work with the body with Gua Sha. Preview: we will work on our back...through our HANDS 🙌
The scalp comb is amazing for this. Gorgeous strum! I also just started the Adipeau and WOW!
So glad you are enjoying!
Uhmmm idk if its my imagination.... but I noticed that my jawline was A LOT more visible when I finished the rutine, my skin is sooo soft and that thing about the flem is true LOL
Really glad I’ve found your videos! I would really appreciate an eye lift gua sha tutorial if possible. Thank you for what you do :)
We actually have an upcoming class this week on eye lifting techniques! You can check it out at lanshin.com under our Courses :)
I absolutely love doing this with the comb. I have your jade comb and it is stunning and feels so good during the strumming. Thank you!
I love how simple this is. I puff up alot in my face so everything helps. 😊
5:18 oh I love that muscle overlay. Great job! Really helps me visualize the muscle. As a yoga teacher I really think I’m terms of the muscle
Wow this felt so good! Can’t wait to see what else you come out with!
Hello Sandra! I am using the gua sha techniques you share and the results are amazing ♥️ Thank you so much 💚, really appreciate your work 😊!

So glad you’re here!❤
What a Great Channel Thank you for the Great Content
Do you a technique that will help deep wrinkles on the face znd crepey skin on the body? Thank you.
Thank you! Thank you very much
Amazing!!!
Thoughts on mineral oil or tallow/ lard for face ?
How often. Should we do this? Daily?
Try doing the full routine a couple times a week!
I am very acneic but want to start doing this. What would u recommend for a facial oul that WILL NOT cause an acne breakout? Thank you this is wonderful.
We love the Apoterra Sea Berry oil for acneic skin!
I tried this with my regular gua sha tool and it feels amazing ! Can this also be done on the back of the neck? (I’m a pole dancer with flexible arms and shoulders 😂)
Yeah! If you can comfortably reach it you can definitely work the back of the neck
I cant afford the active face cream, is there another comparable one with lower price range. loved doing this video w you.
You can get a great result with just a hydrator (you can even use distilled water), followed by an oil.

Hi Sandra
Do you apply Adipeau before or after make up to get that glow. Thanks
I often won't wear foundation after I put on Adipeau because I love the glow, but I'll sometimes use blush, eye products, etc after Adipeau!
Thanks for sharing
Can we do this if we have thyroid?
Tell us more about adipeau… what does it do and why is it so expensive?
This cream leaves my skin with a dewy, glowy finish that amazes me every time I use it. The trick is to apply it like a mask, painting it on until the whiteness of the cream disappears and you’re left with a light layer.

Thank you ❤❤❤
Hi Sandra. Can this be done on a daily basis thank you.
Yes it can be!
Great❣️🌷just great, thanks 🤭🕊️
How often should you do this?
3-5 times a week is a good way to get into a gua sha habit!
Hey Sandra love your videos but question. What if you have thyroid problems, I guess it’s not good to go over it right?
Always good to check with your MD or personal acupuncturist first! But it can be okay to massage directly on it, as long as you're using super gentle force -- I’ve had patients and students tell me how helpful it has been for their thyroid condition (or helping them discover a goiter condition).
Can i use the tool if ive had botox on my masseter area and botox on my jowls
You should always ask your injector when they recommend that you do facial Gua Sha or massage after a fresh injection. In general, I use the guideline of three weeks after a fresh injection -- this is when I would feel comfortable doing Gua Sha on Botox treated areas.
I want juicy skin!! The girl in the before and after. My skin is like that!! Did she use a special acne treatment? Or did she fix that with just guasha?? 😮 I need to know!!
That was an internal herbal medicine treatment! You can find someone to help with this on tcmdermatology.org
Hi Sandra, if I want to apply serum, do I put it on after I’m done with gua sha. This is off the topic but I saw one of your video about millet helping with sleep. What time of the day should I be eating it? Thank you so much. Have a nice day.
You can apply your serum whenever you normally would -- i.e. after hydrator and before oil. Doing Gua Sha on top of your products helps work them into the skin! As for millet, we would recommend around dinner time in the evening so that it can help you get restful sleep.

@Lanshin how often should you be doing this?
If you’re looking to see visible results, consistency is key! We would recommend doing Gua Sha at least 3 times per week to see noticeable changes. If you’re looking to see big changes in your face, you can try doing 30-40 minutes of Gua Sha daily for 2-4 weeks, then dropping the duration and frequency to be in a maintenance phase
@@Lanshin thank you🤩
What about gua sha'ing down or up the neck? Which is good- down or up (after strumming)? Thanks
Either up or down would work, but pick one direction to go in and avoid zig-zagging back and forth.
Hi I'm brand new to this routine, can I ask how long does it take to notice a difference? I don't have too bad a skin in 53 and have recently noticed my jaw and neck are looking a bit ( not much) slack
Hard to say for certain, I would try doing this every day for 3-4 weeks, and make sure you take before and after photos -- it can be hard to lose track of progress when you are looking at your face every day.
What if I have oily skin, would It still be fine to use face oil during my gua sua?
Yes! There are oils that are specifically formulated for this. Some of our favorites include the black seed oil from Shea Terra and the Sea berry oil from Apoterra!
will this help with Jowls/sagging cheeks/mouth corners? I'm 32 with and almost 3 year old and now I'm starting to get forehead lines and jowls 🥲any budget friendly advice ??
Doing Gua Sha consistently (3+ times per week) can create visible changes in your face! Everyone’s results are different and depend on their skin and facial muscle, but we would suggest working these areas every day for a month, and take pictures to see what changes you notice. In terms of budget-friendly products, we really love Shea Terra’s line for affordable but high-quality mists and oils.
I'm worried it will weaken and cause loose skin over time
Can you do this if you have skin tags on the neck?
Skin tags are not an issue as long as you’re not overly vigorous and use a soft gentle motion.
Can u tell me small size will work or not?plz reply me
I am always working on my neck to tighten my neck, but I also have bags under my eyes and eye lids seem to make my eyes look smaller how can I correct this?
A consistent Gua Sha routine can help your undereyes! If you are interested, we did a whole class about it here: lanshin.com/collections/on-demand/products/2845307
Sure
Can I use my hands if I don’t have a gua sha tool ?
Yeah! Try and use your knuckles/bone as that will more closely be like the hardness of a gua sha tool.
thx 🍓🍓🍓
