How to Have Great Skin! 

Welcome health enthusiasts! Skin–the largest organ that we have, an organ that protects us and filters out what is good and bad, is EXTREMELY important.

Radiant, glowing skin isn’t just about the products you use—it’s about a holistic approach that includes diet, lifestyle, and traditional practices. Traditional Chinese Medicine puts great weight on protecting and nourishing the skin. Let’s explore how you can achieve great skin through a combination of time-tested techniques and modern wellness practices.

1. Get Regular Acupuncture

Did you know that acupuncture can be your secret weapon for vibrant skin? Acupuncture increases collagen and elastin production while helping the body achieve balance. The result? Brighter, more youthful skin. Schedule regular sessions with a licensed acupuncturist to experience these benefits firsthand. And if you want to specifically target the facial skin and contours, schedule a cosmetic acupuncture session with a trained facial rejuvenation acupuncturist. Dr. Geng Wu of Awakenings is an excellent facial rejuvenation acupuncturist!

2. Eat a Seasonal and Balanced Diet

Your skin reflects what you eat, so a seasonal and balanced diet is crucial. Different foods have different effects on your skin’s health. Consult with your acupuncturist to find out which foods are best for your specific condition. A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can make a world of difference. Dermatologists anecdotally report that they know which patients eat the rainbow diet daily!

3. Follow a Specific Herbal Regimen for Skin

Chinese herbs can be a game-changer for your skin. These natural remedies can lower inflammation and accelerate healing. Speak to a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner to develop a personalized herbal regimen that suits your skin’s needs.

4. Exercise Regularly

Exercise is essential for maintaining healthy skin. In Chinese medicine, the movement of qi (the body’s natural energy and life force) is crucial for overall health. Blockages in the qi can significantly affect your complexion. Ask your TCM doctor about exercises that are ideal for your body type to keep that energy flowing and your skin glowing.

5. Use Jade Rollers and Gua Sha

These ancient tools are not just trendy—they are effective. Jade rollers and gua sha can enhance your skin’s appearance by promoting circulation and reducing puffiness. Find a cosmetic acupuncturist who can instruct you in the proper techniques for using these tools to maximize their benefits.
