Gua Sha Facial Massage
Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese healing practice that has gained popularity for its powerful skin benefits. Traditionally used to treat ailments like viruses and heat stroke, Gua Sha is rooted in the concept of "chi"—the vital energy that flows through the body. When chi becomes stagnant, it’s believed to cause inflammation, tension, and other health issues. By using a flat jade or rose quartz stone to gently scrape along the face, Gua Sha helps restore the flow of energy, offering both health and beauty benefits.
What Are the Benefits of a Gua Sha Facial?
A Gua Sha facial is much more than just a soothing massage—it’s a holistic treatment that promotes lymphatic drainage and boosts circulation, helping to detoxify your skin and reduce puffiness.
Regular use of a Gua Sha tool can sculpt and define your jawline, relax facial muscles, and give your skin a firmer, more toned appearance. It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin elasticity and glow. The cooling effect of the stone can further reduce inflammation, making your skin look refreshed and rejuvenated.
How to Perform a Gua Sha Facial at Home
How To Use A Gua Sha Tool:
Cool tool by placing it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before use or storing it there to help reduce puffiness; or heat the stone by soaking it in warm water to help improve circulation
Apply a serum or facial oil to your entire face (more than you would usually apply) and optionally, apply a facial mist before using the tool for optimal glide
Always work upward in one direction starting with the neck to get that "facelift" look
The pressure applied to the skin should be gentle to avoid causing any kind of bruising
