Beauty Beneath the Skin: Lanshin's Gua Sha

 
 

We’re not sure who to thank for the intro to Lanshin—must be a day the algorithm gods felt benevolent—but we’re seeing ourselves in a whole new light. Our jaws are less clenched, our scalps are stimulated, and we’re appreciating all the beauty beneath the surface of our skin. That’s the power of gua sha. It’s also the power of Lanshin’s founder and trained Traditional Chinese Medicine expert, Sandra Lanshin Chiu. Her mission is to return you “to feeling beautiful in a way that’s completely unchained from weight, youth or trends.” 

Chiu offers a variety of in-person treatments including facial acupuncture, but for those of us who can’t make it to her Brooklyn location, she offers products and video courses for gua sha and self-massage so you can treat yourself at home.
