Long before Western skinfluencers “discovered” jade rollers and pink quartz massage tools, Sandra Lanshin Chiu (@TreatmentbyLanshin) was working wonders at her Williamsburg atelier, where celebrities and skin-savvy New Yorkers alike have come to rely upon her customized combinations of facial gua sha, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping. An innovator in the Traditional Chinese Medicine space, Chiu has made a name for herself applying TCM to a lot of problems in a way that people aren’t thinking about. “What is aging, even? Is it inevitable? Is it a problem of gravity? Or is it actually when we don’t take proper care to release our tension over time and let it accumulate?” Chiu probes in our annual Originals portfolio. At the link in bio, the wellness expert shares her solution for common cosmetic concerns and her biggest pet peeve in the beauty industry. - Photography: @huyylluong Writer: @sandraballentine Styling: @Christina_Holevas Hair: @iambrittneyw Makeup: @munemiimai W VOLUME FIVE 2022, THE ORIGINALS ISSUE
