Based on Chinese Medicine protocols, this hands on and self-care workshop incorporates elements of TCM face mapping and Gua Sha techniques on the face, neck and shoulders, acupressure points.

Gua Sha is an eastern that helps to decongest the skin and improve blood flow and circulation.

In this workshop you will learn how to correctly use, hold, and practice gua sha for the face with rhythmic massage strokes, and how to smooth and gently scrape the skin in order to iron out fine lines, tightens the skin and speed up the elimination of congestion such as eye bags.
