Delve into the world of at home spa treatment with our Jade crystal Gua Sha, a timeless method of facial sculpting and massage to improve your skins appearance.
The Chinese have been practicing the art of facial Gua Sha for centuries. By gently scraping or pulling along the skin helps fix dryness, breakouts and aging. Facial Gua Sha moves lymphatic fluids so skin can function better and improve blood circulation. After prolonged use, you will see improvement in skin hydration, giving you glowy skin. It also aids in skin's ability to purge dirt, sebum and pore buildup.
Jade is a symbol of serenity and purity. It signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility, and increases love and nurturing. A protective stone, Jade keeps the wearer from harm and brings harmony. Jade attracts good luck and friendship.
How to use:
Step 1: It's best to perform gua sha on clean skin. If you use toner, apply it after cleansing. Also, make sure your hands and the tool itself are clean. A drop of cleanser and water are all you need.
Step 2: Place a generous amount of your favourite facial oil or cream to your face, neck, and chest. Oil will help the tool glide more easily, but if you prefer a cream or water-based lotion that is OK. Just note that you may need to reapply more throughout the process.
Step 3: Holding the tool at a 30 to 45-degree angle, very gently pull/scrape it across your skin. As a rule, all movements should be upward and follow lymphatic flow. Repeat each movement three to five times before moving onto the next area of your skin.
