What Is a Gua Sha Stone?
A Gua Sha stone is a flat, hand-carved skincare tool rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Used for facial massage, it helps stimulate circulation, reduce puffiness, and release tension from facial muscles. Made from natural jade, it’s both effective and soothing. It's a simple ritual for radiant, relaxed skin.
Benefits of Using Gua Sha in Your Routine
Incorporating Gua Sha into your skincare routine can offer:
- Improved lymphatic drainage and detoxification;
- Visible reduction in puffiness and dark under-eye circles;
- Natural sculpting of cheekbones and jawline;
- Tension relief in areas like the jaw and brow;
- A grounding, mindful self-care moment.
For best results, use it with a facial oil like our Pure Bloom Oil, which enhances glide and boosts hydration.
How to Use a Gua Sha Jade Stone
Start with a clean face. Apply a few drops of oil, then hold the stone at a 15° angle to your skin. Glide it gently upwards and outwards:
- From chin to ear along the jawline;
- From the nose outwards across the cheeks;
- From under the eye towards the temples using light pressure;
- From the eyebrows upward to the forehead;
- Down the sides of the neck to encourage drainage.
Repeat each stroke 3–5 times, using slow, intentional movements.
