How often should I scrape my legs to lose weight? The correct way to scrape my legs to lose weight

Scraping for leg slimming is a very common way to slim down legs. It can dredge meridians, promote blood circulation, and play a role in losing weight and slimming legs. Although scraping for leg slimming is effective, it cannot be used every day.
