A Jade Gua Sha is a traditional skincare tool used in Chinese beauty practices. Made from jade stone, it has a unique flat, curved design that helps improve skin health through a gentle scraping technique. Here’s how it benefits the skin:
Lifts and Firms Skin: The upward, scraping motion can lift and tone facial muscles, promoting a more sculpted appearance.
Increases Blood Circulation: By gently massaging the skin, Gua Sha increase blood flow, enhancing the skin’s natural glow and vitality.
Reduces Puffiness and Dark Circles: Gua Sha helps to move lymph fluid out of swollen areas, especially around the eyes, reducing puffiness and dark circles.
Relieves Facial Tension: Especially around the jawline and forehead, Gua Sha can relieve tension, which might otherwise contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
Enhances Product Absorption: Using Gua Sha after applying facial oils or serums helps the skin absorb these products more effectively.
How to Use:
Start with a clean face and apply a facial oil or serum to allow smooth gliding.
Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 15-degree angle to the face.
Begin with gentle strokes from the center of the face outward and upward, moving along the jawline, cheekbones, and forehead.
Repeat each stroke 3-5 times for best results.
