Is beauty Cleansing the Body and Mind
"What is beauty?" Many people have asked this question at one time or another, and the answer may not always be clear. In general, beauty is defined by personal criteria, such as beauty being defined as how one feels about oneself. However, defining beauty can also be down to medical criteria, such as how one's face or body feels after having been subjected to certain chemicals or activities. In the end, all that is important is that beauty is subjective.

look at a beauty tool that many of you may have already seen in use: the jade rollers. In Chinese culture, jade is thought to promote good luck and fortune, and it was the stone used by emperors thousands of years ago. Today, the jade roller, which looks like a combination of a scalpel and a doughnut, is still used in traditional Chinese medicine.
The jade rollers are used for a very specific purpose: to relieve pain. While gua sha was originally designed to treat cuts and bruises, jade rollers are used for skin that has been sun burned and damaged by exfoliation, stress, or other such causes. The jade rollers work by pushing a layer of dead skin cells up against the injured area of the skin. This allows for the formation of a new layer of skin, along with the repair of the top layer, which often dries out and makes the skin tight and stretchy.
"How can this help me cure my acne," you may ask. While the Gua Sha technique has not been proven in the scientific community, anecdotal evidence suggests that it may reduce acne, in part by increasing circulation. One way this is accomplished is by increasing circulation to the facial area. Acne is believed to be caused, in part, by blocked skin pores; the increased circulation caused by the jade rollers allows the pores to unclog and wash away dirt and grime. Additionally, jade does have diuretic properties, which may help to flush out blocked pores and improve overall skin health.
As far as relieving pain, the Gua Sha technique may do this as well, although there is less anecdotal evidence to confirm that. However, it's possible that increased circulation is the cause of the tingling and numbness you feel when you use this ancient Chinese healing technique. Regardless, increased circulation is something every woman should strive to achieve, and it's possible the Gua Sha is the perfect tool for the job. In addition to its healing properties, the Gua Sha is a fantastic tool for increasing self-confidence and improving self-esteem. (It's also quite fun! ).
The Gua Sha is also used to increase circulation, but unlike the Gua Sha, this ancient Chinese therapeutic massage does not focus on the face or hands. The Gua Sha focuses its healing and relaxation benefits on the legs, back, and neck. Gua Sha is part of a larger family of Chinese massage techniques called TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and is often considered a more advanced than Gua Sha. However, TCM is just as beneficial and relaxing for your body and mind as Gua Sha.
