Benefits
- Improved circulation: Gua Sha helps stimulate blood flow, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Reduced muscle tension: The scraping technique helps release tension in muscles, providing relief from stiffness and pain.
- Lymphatic drainage: Gua Sha can help stimulate lymphatic drainage, which aids in detoxification and reduces puffiness.
- Enhanced skincare: Regular Gua Sha use can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles, and improve skin elasticity.
- Stress reduction: Gua Sha can help relax the body and reduce stress by stimulating pressure points and releasing tension.
- Cleanse your skin and apply a facial oil or moisturizer to reduce friction.
- Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 45-degree angle and gently scrape your skin in upward and outward strokes.
- Begin at the neck and work your way up to the face, targeting areas with tension or puffiness.
- Use light pressure for delicate areas, such as under the eyes, and firmer pressure on areas with more tension.
- Perform Gua Sha for 5-10 minutes, 2-3 times a week for best results. I use it daily.
- Keep your Gua Sha Jade tool clean by washing it with mild soap and/or water after each use.
- Material: Genuine jade or rose quartz are popular choices for their natural cooling properties and durability.
- Jade is said to be especially good for skin that tends to have blemishes. It is also said to have a cleansing, decongestant and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Imo always get jade, just be sure its real jade!
- Rose quartz is said to give the skin protection from external influences and have a firming effect on the skin.
- Shape: Gua Sha tools come in various shapes, designed for different areas of the face and body. Choose a tool that fits your needs and preferences.
- Quality: Look for a smooth, well-crafted tool without sharp edges or imperfections to ensure a comfortable and effective experience. Get a real one, like I said.
