Hardcover Book: Techniques for Healthy, Clear and Glowing Skin - Gua Sha and Crystal Massage

Julie Civiello Polier. 144 pages.

Originating in traditional Chinese medicine dating back to the 7th century, gua sha massage is a blend of ancient wisdom and modern innovation—a skincare technique that can give you glowing, even skin, accompanied by a mindful experience that enhances mental clarity. Gua sha engages with the lymphatic system, promoting tension release, reducing puffiness, and offering mental well-being benefits. Flat stones are used to gently scrape the skin to promote micro-circulation and regeneration. In addition, rollers made of crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and jade can promote similar effects, and have the added benefit of staying cool against your skin while you use them.

This informative and aesthetically pleasing book equips you with all the knowledge to seamlessly incorporate this incredible technique into your skincare regimen. By following the techniques in this book, you’ll see improved elasticity and tone, and you can even calm inflammation. Celebrity facialist Julie Civiello Polier introduces her proven methods, which she has used on clients like Goldie Hawn, Miranda Kerr, and Christy Turlington.
