GUA SHA - THE BEAUTY TOOL FOR GLOWING, FIRMER SKIN⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Gua sha relaxes the muscles, gets the blood moving and shifts the puffiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It boosts the circulation and brings in oxygen. It leaves the skin instantly more supple, glowing and healthy-looking.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The traditional Chinese therapists work hard and deep leaving the skin bloody red.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Translated, "Gua" means a stroke, and "Sha" refers to redness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Gua Sha works by creating a controlled trauma short-term flush of redness, which the skin then starts to repair by making new collagen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀For facial beauty benefits, you would need a lighter touch on the face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Outward, upward strokes of a flat S-shaped stone work to help manually drain sluggish lymph—stagnant fluid that can cause puffiness and inflammation—to kick off our bodies’ natural cleansing process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If you are not able to get a Gua Sha face massage performed by a trained practitioner, we suggest to at least attend a course on how to do it.
