“It is a non-invasive, natural alternative to cosmetic surgery and other cosmetic treatments such as Botox and fillers.
“Facial acupuncture treats the root causes of aging and wrinkles, such as muscle weakness and poor circulation. I often treat the treatment holistically, and other problems such as sleep, digestion, and mood improve after treatment. You will notice that.”
Are there any TCM ingredients that are particularly beneficial to the skin?
“I used several herbal formulas to create herbal facial masks and five-element essential oils for different skin conditions.”
How do you incorporate gua sha into your skincare routine?
“We use smooth-edged natural stones like jade and rose quartz for facial gua sha, and it’s very relaxing and fun.”
What do you think about typical ingredients like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide?
“As I always tell my clients, hyaluronic acid has the ability to bind more than 1,000 times its own weight in water. That’s why I apply the serum to my face first, then apply the organic Bulgarian rose I like to spray it liberally with water and let it absorb.
“Only fully hydrated skin is healthy skin.
“I’ve been using it for the last 10 years or so. However, it needs to be applied correctly to minimize side effects. Once it’s absorbed, I recommend applying a face oil or moisturizer over the top, as it can dry out the skin.” We recommend painting it.
“Niacinamide is great for minimizing pores. It also works great with hyaluronic acid, which increases skin’s ability to retain water. It’s a great antioxidant, so it promotes healthier, younger-looking skin.” Therefore, it can be said to be an essential part of anti-aging treatment.”
