Here to finally break down and adapt the traditional gua sha scraping technique into a face-friendly step-by-step tutorial is mbg Collective member Britta Plug, a holistic esthetician, health coach, founder of New York City practice Britta Beauty, and expert on all things gua sha. Plug employs gua sha in her clients’ treatments as well as her own personal skin care routine because it allows you to better connect with yourself. She asks anyone trying it to take a deep breath before starting to set a self-love or self-care focus while you get to know and understand your skin. Into facial tools these days?
