A Gua Sha facial stone is a tool used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for facial massage and skincare. It's typically made from jade, rose quartz, or other semi-precious stones. The name "Gua Sha" roughly translates to "scraping away heat" in Chinese.
Using a Gua Sha stone involves gently scraping the skin in upward strokes to improve circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and reduce puffiness. This technique is believed to help release tension in the facial muscles, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance the absorption of skincare products.
To use a Gua Sha stone, apply a facial oil or serum to your clean face, then gently glide the stone across your skin in upward and outward motions. It's essential to use light pressure and move the stone in the direction of lymphatic flow to avoid causing any damage to the skin.
Regular use of a Gua Sha stone as part of your skincare routine may help improve the overall health and appearance of your skin, leaving it looking more radiant and youthful.
