Gua Sha has a long history of being used as a facial massage technique. It originated in ancient China and has been practiced for centuries.
The technique involves using a smooth-edged tool, typically made of jade or rose quartz, to gently scrape the skin in upward strokes. This scraping motion helps to improve blood circulation, release tension in the facial muscles, and promote lymphatic drainage.
Gua Sha is believed to have numerous benefits for the skin, including reducing puffiness, improving skin tone and texture, and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Gua Sha is also thought to have therapeutic effects, such as relieving headaches and sinus congestion.
Today, Gua Sha has gained popularity in the beauty industry and is often incorporated into facial treatments and skincare routines. Its long history and proven benefits make it a trusted and effective technique for achieving healthier and more radiant skin.
Here are some tips for incorporating a Gua Sha facial massage into your beauty routine:
-Start with a clean face and hands. Also wash your Gua Sha.
-Apply a facial oil or serum to your skin to make sure that the Gua Sha glides easily.
-Hold the tool flat against the skin (not a 90 degree angle).
-Begin at your neck then work your way up to your face.
-Be sure to use light pressure and intentional movements.
-Do each move 5 to 10 times.
-Finish by applying a moisturizer to your face.
