Facial Gua Sha
Gua Sha is the missing link in our skincare routine.
What is Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese self-massage technique that is thousands of years old. It works with the meridian lines, acupressure points, circulatory and lymphatic systems of the body.
Gua Sha really is a beautiful tool for self care when it comes to the health and appearance of your skin. There is a reason that it has become such a huge trend over the last couple of years, and that’s because it works, both immediately and long-term.
Gua Sha has the most incredible effect on the microcirculation, the system just underneath the skin that transports oxygen and nutrients to the blood and remove toxins. Studies have shown that Gua Sha increases microcirculation by 400%*, flooding the skin with fresh nutrients. Over time, this increase levels of both collagen and elastin.
Done regularly, Gua Sha smooths, lifts, plumps and contours the skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Gua Sha is also brilliant for reducing morning puffiness and congestion, by gently encouraging the movements of lymphatic fluid, which can’t flow by itself. It only moves when we move, or when we move it.
Gua Sha also releases tension in the facial muscles and soothes sore eyes and skin, making the complexion looking brighter and glowing. In addition, Gua Sha is hugely pleasurable and is incredibly relaxing and soothing.
