If you are a fan of skin care, you are certainly aware of the great trend of using Facial Roller and face massager Gua Sha. The wave of treatments and natural cosmetics is growing every day and, in view of that, the accessories with crystals have generated great adhesion on the part of skin care lovers.

Gua Sha, on the other hand, is a polished flat stone that has anatomical shapes that fit into different parts of the body.

What is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha originally comes from traditional Chinese medicine and is mainly used as stimulation therapy to treat the skin to improve blood circulation and rid them of toxins. Since the traditional Gua Sha massage technique can be very intense, it is common to have red skin after a section.

But don't be afraid. In recent months, Gua Sha has become the ultimate beauty tool for facial care. With the help of a rounded stone (mainly jade or rose quartz) and light pressure, certain areas of the face are massaged more or less firmly or gently “scraped”.

The rounded shape of the massage stone is designed so that it can easily slide along the contours of the face.

How does Gua Sha work?

Gua-Sha massage should be performed once a day for 5 to 10 minutes on a clean face. Application should be done with a nourishing serum or facial oil applied to the face beforehand. Massage helps the ingredients get into the lower layers of the skin.

When treating with a Gua Sha stone, make sure you scrape in the correct direction, i.e. from the center outward or from the bottom up. This allows the accumulated liquid to drain better.

Conclusion

A facial massage with stone Gua Sha stimulates blood flow, relieves muscle tension, ensures better absorption of care products like serums or creams, relieves swelling and aims to prevent small wrinkles for a more youthful and fresh.
