The Goods
The Lanshin Pro Gua Sha Tool for its expert design, created by an acupuncturist, which helps sculpt, lift, and de-puff the face while promoting lymphatic drainage and circulation. Made from high-quality jade or nephrite, it's praised for its ability to relieve tension and leave skin looking more radiant and contoured.
Using proper technique in Facial Gua Sha will increase circulation and energize skin and tissue, delivering the best results. We know it can be intimidating at first, so we offer a free step-by-step video on our tutorials page to demonstrate Sandra’s technique and explain the benefits of the Lanshin Pro’s unique design features.
How to Clean:
For at-home use, wash your Lanshin Gua Sha tool with hot, soapy water. If that’s not available, you can also use rubbing alcohol or an essential oil spray. Towel dry, then return it to your Lanshin pouch.
Please note, your tool will become very slippery when wet/soapy and it may break if dropped in the sink or on another hard surface. We recommend placing a hand towel or washcloth in the sink basin to absorb the shock in case it’s dropped.
FOUNDER STORY
Oddly enough, my journey to Traditional Chinese Medicine started with my job in finance.
It was toxic, to say the least. The hours were cruel (9 to 5 am) and I was tired, overworked, and in constant pain. Fed up, I went to see a Chinese shaman who specialized in qi-gong massage. After just one session—I felt no pain. So I kept going back until one day, my colleagues started to notice. They were curious why I seemed…happy. That was my wake-up call.I didn’t know it at the time, but the chronic pain I was experiencing was my body’s way of telling me I had been deeply depressed. So I decided to commit to my own happiness and leave my dependable, secure job behind to unlock my new obsession, something I had unknowingly grown up with: Traditional Chinese Medicine.After earning my Masters degree in TCM from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2005, I continued my post-graduate studies in Beijing with the late TCM doctor, acupuncturist, and author of Applied Channel Theory—Dr. Wang Ju-Yi—and later, completed a course of specialized study with Mazin Al-Khafaji, a world-renowned leader in TCM dermatology.
Today, even almost 20 years of clinical work and pioneering the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dermatology, I still feel the same excitement I did after leaving that shaman’s office. The name of my practice, Lanshin, symbolizes a return to my roots. Not only is it a reclamation of my family name but also the Chinese heritage that I, like many Asian Americans of my generation, had once felt ashamed of.Through sharing what I’ve learned, I believe that you’ll not only view beauty in a completely new light, but that you’ll also feel re-connected to something that feels familiar and natural. My goal is to return you to your Original Face. To feeling beautiful in a way that’s completely unchained from weight, youth, or trends. To the way you were always meant to feel—healthy, balanced, and alive from the inside out.
