What are the advantages and disadvantages of facial scraping?

There are many ways of scraping, and different scraping methods have different effects. Have you ever heard of facial scraping? Facial scraping is one of the common methods of traditional Chinese medicine for beauty and skin care, and there are many different ways of scraping. I believe that many people are very interested in scraping for beauty, but facial scraping has its advantages and disadvantages. So let’s take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of facial scraping.

Facial scraping is a popular facial care method nowadays. It combines the ancient Chinese folk therapy of scraping with aromatherapy essential oils to form a beauty therapy that combines Chinese and Western elements. Facial scraping is different from body scraping. Body scraping will produce sha spots. Generally, you have to wait until the sha spots fade before you can do the next scraping, which takes about a week. However, facial scraping generally will not produce sha spots, so it is difficult to judge how often to scrape. However, facial skin is relatively sensitive, so it is generally recommended to scrape once or twice a month!

Benefits of facial scraping:

Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, detoxify and nourish the skin, and improve skin immunity.

It has an immediate effect in relieving fatigue, myopia, headache, toothache, facial muscle stiffness and other minor troubles.

Activate cell regeneration and repair functions and accelerate metabolism.

1. Activate damaged, weak cells, promote and restore cell vitality

Facial scraping stimulates the epidermal nerve endings and enhances their conduction function. It can activate damaged, dry and weak cells, promote and restore the cells' own secretion, regeneration and cleansing functions, accelerate the discharge of metabolic products from the skin's sweat pores, and relax and clean the pores.

2. Promote blood circulation, whiten and remove spots, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, detoxify and resist oxidation

Facial scraping can accurately detect areas where meridians are stagnant and eliminate positive reactions (cold skin, fever, astringent feeling, subcutaneous salicylic and nodular tissue, pain, muscle tension, stiffness, atrophy, etc. are all positive reactions), quickly dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, improve deep skin microcirculation, and quickly eliminate skin metabolic waste from the blood circulation, thereby improving complexion, changing dull to rosy and bright, and effectively removing and lightening spots.

3. Shrink pores and tighten skin

Facial scraping can lift muscles, reshape the face, promote blood circulation, dredge meridians, promote skin metabolism, eliminate excess water and metabolic products, ensure that the skin has adequate nutrition supply, naturally shrink pores, naturally tighten and lift the skin, and change the face shape.

4. Smooth out wrinkles and delay aging

Clear the supply channels of cell nutrition, restore and enhance the skin's own ability to absorb and utilize nutrition. The thermal effect produced by scraping increases the flow of blood, lymph and body fluids, which continuously increases the blood circulation supplying the skin, replenishes water and nutrients to moisturize the skin, reduce wrinkles and delay skin aging.

Disadvantages of facial scraping:

Long-term scraping without restraint will cause damage to the skin tissue. It will not only fail to help relieve fatigue, but will also increase the burden on the body.

For people with skin ulcers or other skin diseases, scraping is not a pleasure at all, but a torture. It will cause greater damage to the already fragile skin tissue and even cause infection, worsening the condition.

1. Damage to extracutaneous tissue

Long-term scraping without restraint will cause damage to the skin tissue. It will not only fail to help relieve fatigue, but will also increase the burden on the body.

2. Cause infection

For people with skin ulcers or other skin diseases, scraping is not a pleasure at all, but a torture. It will cause greater damage to the already fragile skin tissue and even cause infection, worsening the condition.

3. Harm to the body

For some people with blood diseases, or friends with heart or liver problems, scraping should be avoided as much as possible, as it can easily cause greater harm to the body.

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of facial scraping. If you use cotton to scrape your face, be sure to use toner. If you use a hard board to scrape, you must use massage cream or beauty essential oil. This will protect your skin during scraping and ensure a smooth scraping process. Facial scraping depends on the skin condition. If your skin has acne, inflammation and allergies, facial scraping therapy is not suitable for you.
