What Is A Facial GUA SHA And Do They Really Work?

You may have seen a Gua Sha crystal as a skincare tool that an influencer recommends or even when it was trending in Tiktok, but if you want to know if it really works, we are here to help you!

Gua Sha is a traditional Eastern Asian technique that means “scraping the pain away” in English.

From an aggressively detoxifying full-body treatment to a soothing beautifying routine for the face, neck, and decolletage, this technique has been modified.

Healing crystal stones are lightly stroked across the skin to promote lymphatic flow, boost circulation, smooth + lift the skin, and facilitate healing.

Benefits of Gua Sha stones:

The distinct edges of different Gua Sha stones are ideal for lifting, sculpting, and tightening the skin. Regular use helps delay the appearance of wrinkles, dull skin, and other aging effects. 

Since Gua Sha helps stimulate circulation, the technique itself oxygenates and carries nutrients to the skin cells. The increased blood flow resulting from Gua Sha contributes to a more lively, plumped up and youthful appearance.

Gua Sha increases circulation and improves lymphatic function, resulting in a naturally dewy, glowing complexion. The action of gently scraping the Gua Sha tool across the skin aids in serum/moisturizer product penetration, so those juicy phytonutrients go deeper into the layers of skin to feed us even more hydration. 

Gua Sha can also be used to prevent and clear acne, decongesting the skin and lessening inflammation.

“No flow, no glow” is a short summary of this article in which shows us that Gua Sha stone helps relieve the tension of face muscles along with increasing blood circulation, it also helps absorb the nutrients of other skin products that we use so its effectiveness is directly affected.
