In "Skin from Within," you will go beyond a surface-level understanding of your skin and will learn how to improve your skin from the inside out. You'll also gain a deep understanding of how Chinese Medicine looks at the skin and how to use the face as a hologram to guide what techniques will be most effective.
Throughout the course, we'll delve into the principles of TCM, including the concept of Qi (vital energy), Yin and Yang balance, the Five Elements theory, and the meridian system. You'll discover how these ancient philosophies can be applied to benefit common skin concerns such as acne, aging, sensitivity, and inflammation.
Practical techniques and rituals inspired by TCM will be shared, including the facial gua sha face reading, acupressure points for skin health, herbal remedies, and dietary recommendations. You'll learn how to create personalized skin care routines that not only nurture the skin externally but also promote better energy, sleep, and mood.
Whether you're a skincare enthusiast, a holistic health practitioner, or simply curious about the intersection of Chinese Medicine and skincare, this class offers a transformative experience that empowers you to nurture your skin and embrace your innate beauty from the inside out. Join us and learn tools to create radiant, luminous skin.
