Summary:
"Originating in traditional Chinese medicine as far back as the seventh century, gua sha massage is both ancient and revolutionary: a proven skincare method that can give you glowing, even skin, as well as a moment of mindfulness that translates into increased mental clarity. This useful, beautiful book gives you everything you need to know to introduce this amazing technique into your own skincare routine: Flat stones are used to gently scrape the skin to promote micro-circulation and regeneration, and rollers made of crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and jade can promote similar effects. Celebrity facialist Julie Civiello Polier introduces her proven methods, which she has used on clients like Goldie Hawn, Miranda Kerr, and Christy Turlington"-- Provided by publisher.
