Gua Sha

Facial Gua Sha is an ancient scraping massage technique developed by Traditional Chinese Medicine. It began as a treatment done solely on the body to improve blood circulation, move lymphatic stagnation and release muscle tension. Over time, a much gentler version was created for the face that involves a light gliding motion to tone, lift, and smooth the skin. Tools of various shapes made of crystal, such as jade or rose quartz are used with light pressure in an upward and outward movement. The aim is to de-puff the face by facilitating lymphatic drainage and increased blood flow to the face for a healthy glow.
