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

Start your routine

Gua sha, rollers, and sponges in the Self-care collection. Slow down, gently. 🤍
