Gua Sha
A gua sha (pronounced gwah shah) is a traditional East Asian healing tool used in facial and body massage.
Main Uses of a Gua Sha:
Facial Sculpting & Contour: Gentle scraping motions help temporarily lift and firm the look of facial contours, particularly along the jawline and cheekbones.
Lymphatic Drainage: The light pressure strokes help push fluid buildup toward the lymph nodes, which can temporarily reduce facial puffiness (especially around the eyes).
Tension Release: It is used to relieve tight facial and jaw muscles (great for people who clench their jaw or grind their teeth) as well as tension in the neck and shoulders.
Improved Circulation: The scraping action brings fresh blood flow to the surface of the skin, giving it a healthy, temporary glow.
Product Absorption: When used over a facial oil or serum, it helps massage the product deeper into the skin.
Tip: Always use alongside one of our indulgent facial / body oils so the gua sha glides smoothly without tugging or pulling on the skin.
