On some days you wake up with an enviable glow on your face. On some days your skin, just about manages to look okay.

And on some days, you dread looking into the mirror, especially when your skin looks as if you just returned from a battle the previous night. With a number of different treatments, facials and products available across salons and stores, often selecting the right product or treatment for a skin concern becomes quite a daunting task. Should I pick this or that? What if it doesn’t suit my skin? What if my skin condition escalates from bad to worse? ‘Gua Sha’ an old school Chinese healing therapy relies on natural healing rather than relying on medicines and various other unnatural treatments. Gua which means ‘to scrape’ and Sha which refers to ‘sand’, is an ancient exquisite Chinese healing therapy which can take your skin and self care to the next level.
