What is gua sha
Gua sha is a smooth stone tool that has been used for centuries to massage the face and body. Today, it is highly popular in self-care routines because, in just a few minutes, it smooths facial features and promotes well-being.
The benefits
- Reduces facial and jaw tension
- Stimulates microcirculation for brighter skin
- Helps skincare products absorb better
- It's a relaxing, almost meditative gesture
How to use it, step by step
1. Clean and oiled skin
Apply an oil or cream: it should glide, never drag.
2. Upward and outward movements
From neck to jawline, cheekbones, and forehead. Always from the center outwards, with light pressure.
3. Repeat 3-5 times per area
3-5 minutes are enough.
Extra tips
- Keep it in the fridge for a refreshing and decongestant effect
- Clean it after each use
- Pair it with a konjac sponge for cleansing before the massage
