Facial gua sha is an ancient technique from the tradition of Chinese medicine used to remove excess fluid and impurities from the face and skin. In this workshop, you will learn how to offer yourself the benefits of gua sha with in-person guidance to learn strokes designed to contour your face and invite lymphatic drainage. The benefits of regular gua sha treatments include refining facial definition, soothing redness, improving skin tone, reducing sagging skin, and relaxing muscle tension.

Each participant will receive a jade tool for use during the workshop and to take home. Clean, green beauty products will be utilized as a part of the workshop, and Dr. FonLin will also recommend products for home use to bring gua sha into your daily life.
