Gua sha is a traditional Chinese practice that would traditionally be performed by stimulating the skin with hard-sided items such as jade or stone. It is a practice that could be a cousin to acupuncture and massage but emphasizes the direct localized force of the item on the skin of the patients. It works to increase the blood circulation under the skin and the circulation in the soft tissue under the skin. In turn, this has numerous positive effects on the body including anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits.
But for face, facial gua sha is a beauty method that is more comfortable and aesthetic, playing a vital role in the field of wellness and beauty. It’s similar practice at its core, often using a jade tool to massage your face. It too boasts it’s own range of results from sculpting your face, reducing congestion, to smoothing wrinkles and brightening the skin.
How do you do it?
For me, I’m already an experienced facial gua sha enthusiast. So i know how to do in detail and you can consult me anytime you’re convenient. But for a novice, you can buy a cheap gua sha for a try, and learn from professionals through gua sha videos.
- A key piece of advice for you was to make sure you don’t use the sharp edge against your skin, instead holding your tool on a flat ngle close to the skin.
- the pressure is another key point. Facial gua sha tries your best to use a light to medium pressure
- Apply a hydrating mist on your face and neck before practicing facial gua sha. And then using your gua sha tool, start to release the muscles around your neck.
- The gua sha direction is crucial too. You scrape upwards and outwards beginning with your chin, taking time to “wiggle”the tool to massage your jaw, following the line of your cheekbones, under eye, brow bone, and forehead with varying amounts of pressure. The best is repeating each motion five times or more.
We hope any beauty skincare works immediately once using. But it’s impossible. We know all the sellers say that our beauty skincare can work immediately once using on the face. But our company don’t say that. Facial beauty needs your time and patience.
Using facial gua sha after one week, you truly find that gua sha can transform the way you look and feel. And practicing gua sha on your face for a few months, you haven’t achieved the natural face-lift that some practitioners promote, but you must find that your skin is very less puffy, more hydrating and in turn a little brighter.
These change is occurring from the dermis of the skin. Your skin is improved from the inside out, not just on the surface. An improved dermal layer of skin can be beneficial for a lifetime, and it’s what truly maintains your a beautiful appearance.
