What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is a face massage tool inspired on traditional Oriental medicine. It is made from pink quartz and helps us to relax while massaging our faces. It usually has rounded edges, and some models feature grooved parts. Furthermore, it is reusable and very easy to clean.
Along with the jade roller, both of them have become indispensable items for our skincare.
The Gua Sha stone has:
- a smooth side for massaging our cheeks, forehead and neck.
- a rounded side to reduce the bags under our eyes.
- a hollow side for smoothing out our cheekbones and shaping the oval of our face.
Benefits of Gua Sha
Gua Sha face massages have many benefits, including the following, providing that we use it properly:
- It enhances lymphatic draining.
- It stimulates muscle circulation.
- The massage movements mobilise the lymph, and therefore reduce any inflammation.
- It helps eliminate any built-up toxins.
- It improves micro-circulation.
How to use Gua Sha?
Before using the Gua Sha stone, we need to take the following steps into account:
- Our skin must be well-hydrated. We should apply a little serum or moisturising oil to help the stone to work.
- While performing the massage with the Gua Sha stone, we should press it gently on our skin.
- The stone should be kept in the fridge before we use it, since the cold helps to decongest our face.

Muy indicado, sobre todo en verano, como rutina revigorizante. La piel de la cara lo agradece, las lineas de expresión se suavizan, la piel del rostro se relaja.

Con masajes suaves, en el sentido del contorno de la cara, y sin hacer apenas presión. Se favorece la circulación sanguínea, con la ventaja de un drenaje linfatico, simulador y antiinflamatorio.
