Facial massages and gua sha are everywhere these days (if you haven’t heard of them, read more about them here). These brightening, cheekbone-defining, detoxing treatments are all the rage in your favorite beauty magazines, and jade rollers are everywhere in the hands of top models. It’s no surprise that facial massage and gua sha get some legitimate attention—it promotes lymphatic drainage, removes puffiness from the face, relaxes overly tense muscles, and leaves your skin glowing.
So, if you’ve had facial massage and gua sha, you’re faced with a decision – which material of gua sha tools should I get? Or which one is best for you?
In our factory, we manufacture and sell rollers and gua sha tools made of natural gemstones such as beryl, white jade, rose quartz, amethyst, aventurine and sodalite. So which one is right for you? Are they really that different? Next let us reveal the answer:
Green Jade Gua Sha:
Oh hello! Lovely jade! Green Jade (or Feng Yu) is a traditional choice for facial massage and Gua Sha. It has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is considered the ultimate gem in ancient Chinese beauty treatments. Green jade was considered the most precious gemstone in ancient China (although not the kind we use for our Gua Sha tools); it symbolizes purity, moral integrity and immortality. It is also believed that jade is indestructible (unfortunately, it is not), thus granting its owner a longer lifespan.
Fengyu feels naturally cool to the touch, with a “soapstone” feel. In terms of gem energetics, Emerald promotes calm, balance and positivity. Jade protects its users from negative energies entering their orbit and also helps to clear negative energies and thoughts that are already present.
White Jade Gua Sha:
White jade, also known as nephrite jade, is a beautiful translucent white. Along with green jade, the use of white jade in China dates back to 6000 BC, with white being the most revered and prized type of jade in China. White jade is considered to be a symbol of heaven, and as part of Liuli jade, it represents the sky. (However, the precious white jade in the traditional Chinese sense is not used in scraping at present, because the cost is too expensive)
White jade, like green jade, is cool to the touch, but smoother and more “slippery” than green jade. In terms of gem energetics, white jade is calming and grounded, bringing peace, harmony and luck. It helps the body repair itself, especially for fluid retention and puffy skin.
Amethyst Gua Sha:
The elegant February purple birthstone, amethyst, has gained a lot of attention for its use in helping to heal and beautify the skin. However, the healing properties of amethyst are nothing new. The ancient Greeks used amethyst to help prevent drunkenness and overindulgence. In the Middle Ages, it was used to ward off disease and contagion. Amethyst is rich in negative ions and has strong anti-inflammatory properties. This is an excellent choice for those looking for a more balanced complexion. If you have red, acne-prone or irritated skin, look no further than Amethyst! Amethyst is also considered a meditation stone because it creates a state of enhanced spirituality and contentment.
The smoothness of amethyst is between emerald and rose quartz. It is associated with meditation and the ability to induce an enhanced meditative state. Amethyst is a talisman for focus and success as it is believed to enhance clarity of thought, intuition and bring projects to fruition.
Green Aventurine Gua Sha:
Looking for a gorgeous deep green gemstone with amazing energy? Just look at Green Aventurine. Most commonly found in India (hence the nickname “Indian jade,” although it’s actually a type of quartzite), Green Aventurine has bright purplish-red inclusions that give the gem its beautiful, sparkling iridescence. It is called the “Stone of Opportunity” and is considered the luckiest of all gemstones. According to legend, drinking water infused with aventurine is an effective remedy for problem skin. While it’s up to you whether to soak and drink aventurine, using gua sha gemstones and rollers made from green aventurine can be used to treat skin conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Aventurine is very smooth, polished, and easily warms to your skin temperature. Green Aventurine helps heal emotional imbalances, calm irritation and anger, and reduce stress and distraction.
So, Which Gua Sha Best For You?
Still struggling to decide which gua sha gemstone is right for you? Here’s the outline:
Green Jade: Best for toning, lifting and toning tight muscles. A traditional choice, choosing Emerald helps ward off negative energy and promote positivity.
White Jade: Best for reducing puffiness and puffiness (bye, bags under the eyes!) A precious gemstone from ancient China, choosing White Jade aids in the body’s ability to repair itself.
Rose Quartz: Best for acne-prone skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Choosing rose quartz can help relieve stress and promote self-love.
Amethyst: Best for balancing irritated complexions and soothing breakouts. Choose amethyst to calm irritated skin and stimulate intuition.
