Gua Sha increases circulation and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion. ... Gua Sha can also be used to enhace the penetration of serums and oils into the skin.
5 reasons I love Gua Sha!
GROUNDING RITUAL
The slow pace of movement and gentle touch are deeply relaxing, instantly activating our parasympathetic (relaxed) nervous state.
TENSION RELIEF
We hold so much tension in our face and neck. Using deep pressure with a Gua Sha stone can really get into sticky knotted areas to release held muscular tension, thus allowing muscles to do their supportive jobs properly. You’ll experience a dramatic release of tension with Gua Sha incorporated frequently into your self-care routine.
DETOXIFYING
Gua Sha can be used to clear blockages in meridian channels, which connect our organs together and transport both blood and chi (life force). Our channels need to be clear in order to work harmoniously and for chi to flow well throughout the body.
Gua Sha imparts a truly holistic effect on the body. This manual movement stimulates our lymphatic system, helping our organs function optimally by breaking up stagnation, flowing debris and toxins within the body for easier removal.
NATURAL FACELIFT
The unique edges of various Gua Sha stones work perfectly to lift, sculpt and tighten the skin. Regular use can prevent the signs of aging such as sagging, dull and wrinkled skin. Since Gua Sha helps stimulate circulation,the technique itself oxygenates and carries nutrients to the skin cells. The increased blood flow resulting from Gua Sha contributes to a more lively, plumped up and youthful appearance.
GLOWING SKIN
No flow, no glow! Gua Sha increases circulation and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion. Gua Sha can also be used to prevent and clear acne, decongesting the skin and lessening inflammation.
HOW TO USE
Try making Gua Sha a five-minute ritual as part of your morning skincare routine. Apply a serum or face oil so that the tool glides more smoothly, then stroke or gently scrape it against the skin in small movements across your face. Be sure to finish each pass in one motion and at your ear. Repeat movements 5 times and follow the exact movements on the opposite side of your face.

If you wake up a little puffy, place gua sha in the fridge for 10minutes before use, this will assist in the lymphatic drainage process.
