A Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese skincare tool used in a practice of the same name. It’s typically made from materials like jade, rose quartz, or other stones and is designed to be gently scraped over the skin. The tool is believed to promote blood circulation, reduce puffiness, relieve tension, and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
In skincare routines, Gua Sha is often used on the face to help contour, lift, and smooth the skin, as well as to encourage lymphatic drainage, which can reduce puffiness and improve skin tone. The technique is often paired with facial oils or serums to allow the tool to glide smoothly over the skin.
