Is Gua Sha worth including in a skincare routine?

[mvp2v1]

My skincare routine at the moment consists of:

Cleanser + moisturizer
Sunscreen
Adipeau (1/week to avoid fat pad loss)
Supplementing vitamin K2 (in addition to a diet with adequate levels) to avoid future bone resorption (leads to saggy skin including fat pads)

On my list of potential additions is Gua Sha (face massage)

Is it worth including it in my routine? If so for how long every day?

 

[IndraBC]

All useless. Just use water and MSM

If you want to add it go ahead, it really won't do much tho.

it sounds like your saying its not worth the overall investment (money and time). Does it really not bring noticeable benefit? And how long is it generally recommended to be done /day for results?

I bought one like 3 months ago and used it everyday on my cheekbones. The only thing it did was tone my cheekbones a lil bit. I only used it for like 5-10 minutes a day also.

Does it help with eyebags from poor sleep? I've heard claims of it reducing wrinkles, debloating the face and increasing blood flow to the skin.

As far as I know, it def can debloat face to an extent. I don't know if it can fix eyebags tho. And I highly doubt it can fix wrinkes

Temporarily

can temporarily move fluids in your face allowing for a little debloat in a way

but that can be done with your fingers

the gua sha jade stone itself having powers and shit obv is myth but i guess it feels nice cuz it's cold

 

[mvp2v1]

Do you do it? Results?

Could it have synergistic effects with other products/skin treatments? Could I apply vitamin C and then do the massage for a better effect?

synergistic as in the jade/rose quartz reacting with vit C? doubt it

but i guess it makes massaging with the gua sha smoother, and vitamin C is good for the skin so you're getting two things done at once

Yes it is, it is proven to help increase blood flow and circulation therefore decreasing aging. It can also debloat and drain out the face. Massage your forehead, cheekbones, neck, and jawline directly after you've applied and rubbed in your moisturizer. Make sure to moisturize the neck as well. It should only be about 30 seconds for each part of your face that you use the gua sha on. Overdoing it can lead to pain and dragging of the skin, so keep it relatively short.

Same theory behind face yoga.

Face Yoga, microcurrent, Gua Sha aand the supplement pregnolone are all good things to achieve a facelift like effect

Skincare is overrated imo, diet, taking collagen and sunscreen is the best skincare. I’m interested in facial fat pad preservation tho

I generally agree. Most on the skincare space are very myopic about aging. Like you I try to look at the full picture.

 

[Krakowski]

It’s cops, might help short term won’t do anything long term

If anything it might speed up stuff

 

[Detective]

did for a month. i felt better but could be placebo.

what kind of collagen?

 

[Deleted member 1901]

what kind of collagen?

Bovine collagen peptides

Bovine collagen peptides

i thought they say it cope

 

[Deleted member 1901]

Who’s “they”?

I doubt it’s cope for skin because it would at least supply the amino acids needed for collagen (importantly, glycine) and besides it’s healthy
