A Rose Quartz Gua Sha is a versatile skincare tool made from rose quartz crystal, known for its cooling and calming properties. Gua Sha has been used in traditional Chinese skincare for centuries and, with rose quartz, combines the benefits of the ancient technique with the gentle, nurturing energy of the stone. Here’s how it benefits the skin:
Contours and Lifts: Regular Gua Sha massage can help define and sculpt facial contours, promoting a more lifted, youthful look.
Improves Blood Circulation: The scraping technique of Gua Sha increases blood circulation, giving the skin a radiant, healthy glow.
Reduces Puffiness: Rose quartz, when cool, helps to depuff areas like under the eyes, while the massage promotes lymphatic drainage to reduce facial swelling.
Relieves Facial Tension: Gua Sha helps ease tightness in the jaw, forehead, and around the eyes, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.
Calms and Soothes: The rose quartz stone is believed to have calming properties, adding a relaxing, ritualistic aspect to skincare.
How to Use:
Begin with a cleansed face, and apply a facial oil or serum to provide a smooth glide.
Hold the Gua Sha at a 15-degree angle and use gentle, upward strokes, starting from the center of the face outward and moving along the jawline, cheekbones, and forehead.
For best results, repeat each motion 3-5 times and store the tool in the fridge for added cooling benefits.
