Hi everyone, Lin here 💕⁣ ⁣ Because we're talking about Gua Sha and Traditional Chinese Medicine this week, I wanted to drop in and just give a little bit of context on 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘛𝘊𝘔.⁣ ⁣ Growing up, TCM was a regular part of my life. As a matter of fact, my family had TCM solutions for everything – from coughs and colds, to muscle pains, upset tummies, canker sores, menstrual cramps, and more. As a child, I vividly remember going to Chinese pharmacies to buy herbs and going to see TCM doctors for various ailments. But TCM also existed in my life outside of illness, my parents were always adding Chinese herbs (like goji berries, ginseng, ginger, and all kinds of mushrooms) to soups and teas. ⁣ ⁣ Looking back, I'm grateful for how my parents incorporated health and wellness seeking in my life and theirs. They believed in sustained practices that would promote longevity; my dad in particular was and still is a huge devotee of acupuncture and cupping. And my mom actually started her healthcare career in a TCM clinic. ⁣ ⁣ In its own way, I think 𝙢𝙮 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙏𝘾𝙈 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙥 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡-𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚.

The way the beauty industry speaks to women is appalling. We like to keep things positive at Pink Moon, but shedding light on this issue is crucial. The beauty industry needs to change, and this is one of the reasons why at Pink Moon you’ll never find product-shaming or fear-mongering / fear or guilt based marketing. At our core lies 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙋𝘼𝙎𝙎𝙄𝙊𝙉.⁣ ⁣ Pink Moon is my attempt to create a better, more inclusive & compassionate beauty industry and celebrate all women in every season of life. During the making of Pink Moon, I knew it would give me the chance to set a new standard. I’ve seen what I don’t like and want to change it for 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
