Gua sha (gwar-shar) is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves moving across or 'scraping' your skin with this smooth-edged tool to help improve circulation and reduce puffiness.
This product is made from jade.
Gua sha practice is believed to break up stagnant energy called chi, which practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation and in the body. Inflammation oftens manifests itself as puffiness in the face or what looks like water retention. Using this tool can help sculpt the face and take away that puffiness.
Results? More definition in the cheekbones and jawline.
Where do I use it?
Gua sha is generally used on the face and neck. It can also be performed on the back, buttocks, arms, and legs.
How do I use it?
You start by applying an oil or serum to the area you want to work on. This helps the tool glide across the skin as you scrape in an upward or downward motion.
Here is our helpful infographic in our blog to explain how to use and you can watch our YouTube video on how to use a gua sha.
