I never imagined I would ever willingly have my skin scraped!
But then Beijing – a bustling city of over 22 million residents – exposes you to a world of possibilities beyond belief.
So, one Saturday afternoon in early May, a few colleagues and I sauntered into a beauty salon in downtown Beijing's Chaoyang District to try gua sha, a traditional skincare practice.
The experience was both surprising and enlightening, offering a glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage and the innovative beauty trends flourishing in the heart of the city.
As a journalist from Botswana, immersing myself in such a unique practice highlighted the diverse opportunities Beijing offers to both locals and international visitors alike.
