[precautions].
  • Cleanse your face before scraping and apply moisturizer before scraping.
  • It is mainly gentle and gentle, and the purpose is to dredge the meridians and promote blood circulation.
  • If there is a feeling of pimples in some places, it is a blockage of the meridians, and it is necessary to scrape a few more times.
  • You can shave the whole face for about 15 minutes, don't rush to wash your face just after shaving, and then wash your face with warm water after half an hour (don't wash it with cold water at this time, it will be red). The mask should also be used half an hour after scraping, the mask will make the pores that are open after scraping suddenly close, and the toxins that were originally to be excreted cannot be discharged.
  • Facial blood vessels are abundant, and it is strictly forbidden to sha, and it should not be broken due to heavy manipulation, and those who suffer from skin diseases on the face, or have a tendency to bleed, should not be scraped.

When gua sha is done, the face will heat up, because the yang energy in the body drives the heat energy, which in turn softens the stratum corneum and metabolizes the waste products on the face. People with acne have small pimples that are shaved out because the heat can open the pores wider. After gua sha, you can clearly feel that the skin is delicate and elastic.

The head is the head of the man, and its glory is in the face. The twelve meridians, the three hundred and sixty-five meridians, and the qi and blood are all injected into the face and go to the void, and the yin and yang meridians around the body are all gathered. The head and face are the reaction center of the whole body's internal organs and meridians, and by scraping the acupuncture points in specific areas of the face, the connection between the head and face and the inside and outside of the body can be strengthened, which can be said to be a combination of treatment, health care and beauty.

Therefore, frequent shaving of the head and face can not only moisturize, beautify, remove freckles, and remove wrinkles, but also eliminate sickness and enhance the body's immunity!

However, there is a premise of gua sha, which is not something that anyone can do at any time.

What exactly is this premise?


The premise of gua sha: sufficient qi and blood

- Gua sha when you are tired, it will have the opposite effect -

The principle of gua sha is to direct the qi and blood to the past, so that the active and powerful qi and blood itself can dredge local blockages, cold knots, heat evils, or phlegm turbidity. Therefore, when you are very tired and tired, and you are short of qi and blood, the effect will definitely not be good. If you scrape too much, you may also consume air, and the result will be more empty.

The reason is very simple: Qi and blood are already insufficient, how can there be effort to help you repair it?
Facial gua sha beauty, the premise of effectiveness is sufficient qi and blood. When the qi and blood are abundant, as long as the qi pushes the blood to where it should go, it can create a plump and elastic skin. Whether it's dark circles, eye bags, melasma, fine lines, etc., you can see results after a single scratch.
However, if you are particularly tired and have insufficient qi and blood, especially if many people are tired from work very late, and still insist on scraping and applying a mask for beauty, then you will find that your skin may be drier and .......darker when you get up the next day

Therefore, friends who are deficient in qi and blood, don't scrape when you are particularly tired. At this time, as long as you relax, rest well, and ensure adequate sleep, it is already the best maintenance.

On weekdays, we must pay attention to replenishing qi and blood, and we can also consult local Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and medication.
