Glow Sha For Glowing Skin During Your Cycle
Glow Sha For Glowing Skin During Your Cycle
Phase 1: Your Period
If you find that your face looks completely dry and dull during your period, there’s a good reason for it. Oestrogen levels are low, which means lines, pores, wrinkles, dark spots and acne will be more visible. Progesterone levels are low as well, reducing the production of sebum (aka making your skin dryer).
It’s important to avoid any excessive Glow Sha during your ‘red days’ as your skin is more tender and you’re more sensitive to pain. Your body needs to be treated gently and allowed to rest and release. Focus instead on self care; foot baths, hot compress on the lower belly, and tea.
Phase 2: Pre-Ovulation
This is the phase in your menstrual cycle where you will literally have your best face. You’re high on oestrogen, girl! Full, soft skin. Bright, tight, and clear! Your skin will be able to handle (almost) anything that you throw at it (it’s also the best time to get any other cosmetic work done). Make sure you are always scraping your Glow Sha into the hairline and working with those scalp muscles which is where a lot of facial tightness and lines can be worked on.
If you have PCOS or hormonal outbreak at this time avoid the little suckers to prevent encouraging them to take up a postal code on your face and moving in long term. Do this by placing your finger tip over them and using the Glow Sha on all other areas of your face.
Phase 3: Ovulation
Phase 4: Post-Ovulation
Phase 5: Pre-Menstrual
Final Tips
- Use an oil or serum to help the Glow Sha glide over your skin. Natural oils are fabulous for some skin, but for others a serum may be better.
- There are a lot of different crystal tools on the market. Whatever you choose, make sure you don’t share your beauty tools with other people as they are personal and will carry some bacteria. In TCM we use jade beauty tools because they are auspicious and also antibacterial.
- Use your Glow Sha tool to relieve any muscle tension from clenching your jaw due to stress.
- Bone broth is great for your skin and collagen production, it’s also a fluid which helps to keep your skin hydrated and to build healthy blood volume especially pre-period.
