Facial Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese skincare technique that involves using a smooth-edged tool (usually made of jade, rose quartz, or other crystals) to gently massage the face in upward and outward strokes. This practice helps improve circulation, reduce tension, and sculpt the face naturally.
Benefits of Facial Gua Sha
~ Improves Circulation – Increases blood flow, giving the skin a healthy glow.
~ Reduces Puffiness & Lymphatic Drainage – Helps flush out toxins and excess fluid.
~ Defines Facial Contours – Lifts and sculpts the cheekbones, jawline, and brow area.~ Releases Muscle Tension – Especially effective for jaw clenching and tension headaches.
~ Boosts Collagen Production – Can improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines.
~ Enhances Product Absorption – Helps serums and oils penetrate deeper into the skin.
How to Use a Gua Sha Tool
- Start with clean skin and apply a facial oil to help the tool glide smoothly.
- Hold the tool at a 15° angle (almost flat against the skin).
- Use gentle but firm strokes, moving upward and outward (never drag downwards).
- Focus on key areas like the jawline, cheekbones, forehead, and under eyes.
- Repeat each stroke 5–10 times per area for best results.
- Use 3-5 times a week for noticeable lifting and depuffing effects.
