Everyone wants to stay young. With so many beauty products on the market these days, many of them are very expensive, the one that most people love to use not only affects how your skin looks, but how you feel, that’s the magic of gua sha.
Although Gua Sha has recently become mainstream, it is a Chinese technique that existed before the 20th century and has been shown to relieve facial muscle tension, enhance skin elasticity, reduce puffiness, wrinkles and fine lines, and eliminate toxins under the skin. Gua sha tools are designed to improve your overall health, improve microcirculation in the blood vessels of your face, and increase the flow of blood, lymph, and fluids.
You may have spotted your favorite celebrity and YouTube influencer using the famous gua sha tool in their skincare routine. If you want to learn more about what Gua Sha do before joining it, keep reading!
What Does Gua Sha Do for Your Face?
1. Lymphatic Drainage
A slow lymphatic system can lead to puffiness, swollen skin, fatigue, acne, and other skin-related problems. Since lymphatic circulation can only be achieved through muscle movement or massage, using scraping is a great way to enhance it. Improved blood circulation further reduces dark circles and a youthful glow.
2. Fights Acne Scars
Gua Sha stimulates fresh blood on the surface of the skin and helps to renew skin cells, thereby reducing the visibility of acne scars. This stone is widely used to prevent and clear acne, reduce skin congestion and reduce inflammation.
3. Reduce Puffiness
Since gua sha is touted to remove lymph and other unwanted fluids from your face, your skin will tighten and become more defined. The directional motion of the tool sweep, combined with the pressure of the tool against the skin, helps improve lymphatic drainage, reducing puffy skin and eye bags in the process.
4. Soften Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Gua Sha relieves your stiff facial muscles and tissues, smoothing out any early signs of aging in the process. It is known that massaging Gua Sha on the face regularly in the right way can result in a well-defined chin and cheekbones. Over time, your face will start to look naturally contoured.
How to Use Gua Sha?
Before starting, wash the gua sha tool properly with cold water and soap to ensure it is clean. Wipe lightly after washing. You can even keep it in the fridge for a few hours if you want to give your skin an extra cooling and soothing effect.
- Cleanse your face and apply a light serum, facial oil or moisturizer of your choice. Your skin should feel smooth with some moisturizing product to prevent any irritation or inflammation from gua sha.
- Hold the face sculpting tool firmly. The curved part should be in close contact with the curve of the skin, and the flat part should be close to the skin.
- First, use the wider concave side of the tool. Start at the base of the well-moisturized neck and pull it up toward your chin. Repeat a few times, then move to the front of the neck and do the same upward movement. Don’t put too much pressure here or you’ll start choking and coughing.
- Next, start scraping from the center of the chin using the smaller cracks in the scraping. Gently scrape along your jawline to the bottom of your ear. Repeat a few times, then do the same on the other side of your face.
- Take the flatter curve of the tool and scrape from the center of the face to the ears, massaging the cheeks. You have to do this multiple times to fully cover the area.
- Then, use the small rounded end of the tool to massage the under-eye area, gently pulling it towards the temple.
- Make sure to massage all areas of the face properly.
