Ashley Graham claims gua sha is better than filler, Botox
Supermodel Ashley Graham recently opened up about her latest skincare obsession in an interview with Byrdie. The 35-year-old revealed that she swears by gua sha, a traditional Chinese practice that involves using a smooth-edged tool to scrape the body and improve wrinkles, release muscle pain, and gain other benefits. According to Graham, the procedure is as effective as filler or Botox. She sees Sandra Lanshin Chiu, who also performs acupuncture on the star, who is the best teacher in the whole world, Graham told the publication. Plus, fans got a fright in 2021 with the model showed off a large patch of bruising on her back from a particularly deep gua sha session.
When asked what her latest skincare obsession was, the supermodel, 35, raved about gua sha — a procedure that involves scraping a smooth-edged tool along your body to improve wrinkles, release muscle pain and gain other benefits.
“I’ve seen so many girls do it so wrong and I feel like I have the best teacher in the whole world,” Graham told the publication, sharing that she sees Sandra Lanshin Chiu, who also performs acupuncture on the star.
“I’m obsessed with washing my face with Dial hand soap,” she revealed. “I saw this girl with perfect skin on TikTok use it, so I did it and I have not gone back. It gets everything so clean. Like it literally takes everything out of your skin, it is insane.”
According to Graham, she uses one of the gua sha tools to keep her “jawline snatched or to release tension in the neck” and also rubs it on her calves to release tension from wearing high heels. The model also disclosed that she uses many St. Tropez products, including the brand’s Tan Tonic Glow Drops, and a humble bottle of Aquaphor to keep her legs shiny when they are dry and crusty.
