How to Use Gua Sha Stone on Face

Gua sha on face can clean the skin, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and promote blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Many skincare brands now sell their own products with the assistance of gua sha boards to speed up the absorption of facial extracts and so on. But really does the gua sha boards work? Is it worth your money? I will address these questions for you below.

I read a book written by a Gua Sha practitioner where he mentioned, “I define facial gua sha as a simple, gentle technique where gua sha increases circulation and lymphatic flow to the face. The use of rose quartz allows for the creation of higher quality gua sha tools that can be shaped without resin”. He adds, “If you feel tension in your face, jaw or between your eyebrows, then a gua sha is the tool you are missing. Using a gua sha massage tool allows the muscles and fascia to work deeper than massaging with your fingers, so you can consciously relax tight areas.” Gua Sha practitioners also say that it is the cooling properties of jade itself that makes facial gua sha really useful, such as getting delicate features, eliminating dark circles under the eyes, relaxing facial muscles and more.

The famous gua sha practitioner is Katie Brindle, founder of Hayo’u Method, a qualified Five Elements Chinese Medical practitioner. He graduated from the U.K.’s Integrated College of Chinese Medicine. So his words are worthy to believe. This is the reason why i recommend gua sha on face to you.
