I have all the Lanshin Gua Sha Tools and I absolutely love them! They have helped me a lot to release the tension on my jaw and sinuses, as well as my allergies - they are a real game changer. ✨ Thank you for this video about Bo Jin which was still a bit mysterious to me! Also, I would love a video about strumming please! Your videos are really helpful - I think that my gua sha routine is definitely better since you created your channel. Thank you so much for all your hard work and your will to inform us with good practices - knowledge and respect of TCM are invaluable. 😊❤

[@sarahzilallahooi1134]

I've been doing bojin facials for years and I've always had trouble explaining what it is to my friends / curious askers. (There's a bit of a language barrier between me and the TCM practitioners from China.) Now I can send them your video! Thanks for this :-)

[@remiphoto4786]

lovely! i've been doing gua sha daily for years. my esthetician recommended it for micro circulation to help with acne. it has also helped repair my skin barrier among other things. just recently learned about bo jin & would love to start incorporating it into my routine as well. thank you!!!

[@connywonnie7971]

yes please the strumming technique 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@mementomori3270]

amazing, informed video! you could see the results from just doing the left side with Bo Jin and Gua Sha techniques! once the 60secs was up, you looked directly into camera and you could absolutely see your left cheek was smooth, supple and blumper compared to the unfinished cheek. so glad i found your channel. your presence and delivery are what drew me in more than anything. plus, your culturally practised specific directions/instructions and reasons WHY they are the correct cultural technique and how to correct was all brilliant and IS needed since Gua Sha took hold. great reminder that sometimes people who become idolized arent perfect, make mistakes and are even misinformed. thank you kindly for your time❤

[@DanteVelasquez]

[@Lanshin]

I wonder if you have a more complex issue that could benefit from seeing a local TCM practitioner/Acupuncturist. But keep us posted if it helps! Also sign up for our emails (linkpop in bio) because I do TCM Check-Ins occasionally on Zoom (hope to do them more and possibly even on YT Live) where you can tell me what part of your Gua Sha work needs troubleshooting and I help give you a fix to work with ❤️

[@jod6cindy]

Hello, I am brand new to your channel and thus far I think your work and your presentation are impeccable. Thank you very much for being so professional and easy to follow. I have very reactive skin that's prone to rosacea, and I was wondering if gua sha and the other tool are appropriate for me. When you have a chance, can you please let me know? Thanks very much.

[@Lanshin]

Yes, you can do Gua Sha if you have rosacea. Use only gentle pressure and slow strokes on active areas. (For non- active areas, you can use a normal amount of pressure.) Your skin may get red, which is okay, but if it feels irritated, we would pause on the Gua Sha. If you have severe rosacea and/or pustules, consult a practitioner first.

[@jod6cindy]

@@Lanshin Thank you very much. Again, I am extremely impressed with your work. Everything about it is excellent, and I appreciate it. Thanks again.

[@Travelling4fun]

Okay, now I've found your video, 😊😊 so I still have a few questions. As I understand it, I do BOjin first and Thema GuaSha . (I don't have to stimulate the lymph before either of them, but I open my neck for a minute with movements like in your video - right ? ) my questions : WHY do I have to open my neck? 2. I didn't understand which steps I do ONLY with your BoJin tool and which I do THEN only with GuaSha, because you showed how to do BOJIN technique ALSO with the Gua sha tool - I am now confused hahaha - 3. how long do I do each treatment ? How many minutes? And do I do it every day. Is it too much or is it perfect once a day? day? Morning or evening 5. is your online course with the possibility of German subtitles because my English is not good enough :( and last question : where can I find tutorials where I can make my upper eyelids disappear and do you also have a video for cellulite ?

[@Lanshin]

We like to start with the neck because opening circulation in the neck helps the circulation in the face move better. Bo Jin and Gua Sha are two different techniques that complement each other. Both stimulate the flow and circulation of blood and Qi, but using different types of strokes. The Bo Jin gets deeper into the muscle layers, while Gua Sha strokes are more soothing and smoothing. We like to "disturb the soil" with Bo Jin first, then do the smoothing soothing Gua Sha strokes. We recommend doing Gua Sha at least 3 times a week to see visible results, but once or twice a day is also a great place to start. If you’re looking to see big changes in your face, you can try doing 30-40 minutes of Gua Sha daily for 2-4 weeks, then dropping the duration and frequency to be in a maintenance phase. We are looking into subtitles in other languages but for now we only have them available in English. We just made some classes on working the eye area! Currently we don’t have anything on cellulite.

[@Travelling4fun]

@@Lanshin It's so great that you're taking the time to answer these questions for me. Not only do I want to practice this treatment and buy your products, but I want to understand how it works. Thank you so much. I hope that you will soon find a tool where you can switch the subtitles in different languages. I have a colleague who has done this and I have to ask her which tool it is, because I really struggle and work with translators and therefore English subtitles would also be a problem for me 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@skyhopper3933]

In love learned from you and all your video. THANK YOU for taking the time to post them. I use microcurrent. I would think doing gua sha in-between microcurrent treatment would aid toning the facial muscles. Your thoughts??

[@Lanshin]

Absolutely! We have clients who do both and they are a great support for eachother.

[@nancyranski5746]

Love your channel Thank you for tips on the gua sha Once you have finished the practice do you recommend washing your face to remove the oil? Also is there a day and night version of gua sha or would you do the same routine day and night? ❤❤

[@mementomori3270]

great questions! I hope Miss Sandra sees this as I, too, wondered if washing your face AFTER nightly Gua Sha would be advised or actually detrimental to skin, drying it out.

[@Indicolite2000]

I watched a similar comment one another video, there she said that if the oil doesn't feel too much like it would break you out or cause problem and you use it as a moisturizer, you can choose not to wash and it's okay....but if you choose to wash it you can also do that (imo, the important thing is to keep your skin moisturised whether you wash the oil or not)

Amazing video❤.... I have questions though, some gua shua come with roller too...can i use the roller before or after using gua shua or is it harmful or affect the results? Can i alternate the days between using gua shua and roller? And i use fresh alovera gel as lubricant bcz oils break me out, is this fine?

[@Lanshin]

We tend to prefer using Gua Sha tools instead of rollers to get clinical results. If that works for your skin, then great, but we would probably advise either finding an oil that's good for acneic skin (like sea berry, black seed, etc) or doing Gua Sha instead during your balm/oil cleansing step

[@Travelling4fun]

Why do you hold your fingers to your face to hold the skin during gua sha or bojin? What is the advantage ?

[@Lanshin]

This is called an anchor hand, it is useful to help stabilize the skin (and quite literally anchor it) while you stroke away from that point.

[@Karina-p3e]

I love your video and recommendations. But you should make a 2-3 video where you just doing full massage 5, 10, 15 minutes. So people would repeat it.

[@chocolatefudge5263]

Oh no😮 maybe you're actually doing it right and it's a kind of skin purge. It happens with some skin creams and the rule is to keep on doing the same until the acne goes away. If you can, go to a tcm practioner, maybe you have other parts of your body to unblock. ❤ I've just googled "breakout after gua sha", there are a lot of interesting information. Looks like you might be doing right. ❤

[@Lanshin]

I'm literally working on this video explaining why and what this happens! And @chocolatefudge5263 is absolutely on the right track here. If the breakouts you get post Gua Sha are small, come to whiteheads quickly, and heal quickly then they are likely a healing response (aka "purge") and you can try continuing to see if it reduces. If the breakouts are more cystic, painful and stagnant post Gua Sha, then my next video should help clear up what's happening and what to do.

[@allyamv]

​@@chocolatefudge5263 Ah, that makes a lot of sense that it would be a purge. I thought that my skin was just being weirdly sensitive but this gives me a bit of hope :D Thanks for the comment!

[@allyamv]

@@Lanshin Thank you for the reply! :) From what I can remember, it was mostly smaller ones (I’m guessing a purge) but there were a couple larger, painful ones that popped up in an area as well. I look forward to the video!

Hi! how often per week can we do this practice?

[@Lanshin]

As a general average 5-10 minutes of gentle face gua sha is ok daily for most people with neutral skin (no inflammatory disorders). 2-3x a week is good for longer sessions of 20 minutes or longer. Keep in mind I'm referring to how often you can use the Gua Sha that I teach here, not what others do online (ie using iced/frozen tools, or too aggressive technique, etc.)
