Rose Quartz Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a traditional therapy that uses gentle strokes to massage and stimulate energy lines and points on the face, boosting circulation by up to 400% to help remove toxins and deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin.

This at-home beauty tool is designed to help you achieve glowing, firmer skin. Gua Sha treatment relaxes muscles, encourages energy and blood flow, and helps to release toxins. In the morning, it can help reduce puffiness and energise the skin. In the evening, it focuses on relaxing muscles and releasing tight connective tissue. Use it with your favourite facial oil to enhance product absorption and reveal a more rejuvenated complexion.

Known as the 'Eastern Facelift' due to its contouring effect, Gua Sha has been a healing technique for thousands of years. A regular Gua Sha routine acts as both a massage and a workout for your skin, releasing tension and leaving it instantly more supple, glowing, and healthy-looking.

Benefits:

• Promotes healthy lymph flow by releasing stuck toxins
• Helps to iron out fascia affected by tension, creating a beautiful lift in the face
• Reduces puffiness or under-eye discolouration by removing excess fluid and improving blood flow

Maintaining a cool temperature, the Rose Quartz Gua Sha refreshes skin and helps to close pores for a more even appearance. It can also help reduce sagging, blotches, bags, and lines around the eyes, quickly revitalising the skin.

Our Rose Quartz Gua Sha comes in 100% recyclable packaging and its own 100% luxury cotton drawstring bag for storing it.

How does it help to improve the skin? By creating a controlled trauma (the short-term flush of redness you might experience), the skin begins to repair itself by making new collagen.

How often should you do Gua Sha? Recommended use is a minimum of two to five times a week.

HOW TO USE

• After cleansing, apply a Facial Oil such as our Regenerating Facial Oil.
• Start with the neck: “Always start by opening up the neck. You must release tension from the neck in order to treat the face. It also brings energy up to the face.”
• Move to your face: Once you’ve done your neck, move to your face, starting at the jaw and working outward to move congestion away from the centre of your face and down towards your jaw. Move your way up the face and repeat with your under-eyes, and forehead. We like to do one side first so that we can see the visible lift.

Guidelines for using your Gua Sha:

• Use your Gua Sha at a 15-degree angle (almost flat) as you massage your skin; so that the stone comes into contact with the skin and that it benefits from its healing and rejuvenating properties.
• For best results, ensure pressure is firm over certain areas like the neck and jaw but that it is light and gentle on the rest of the face.
• Make sweeping rolls under the chin toward the collar bone, working outwards towards the sides of the neck.
• Make sure to support the skin with your opposite hand, always following through into the hairline.

Using your Gua Sha with facial acupressure points: Facial acupressure improves the metabolism and the blood circulation in the skin; this tightens the areas that are being massaged and pressed, leaving you with a relaxed, youthful look. In facial acupressure, you compress key points on the skin’s surface to stimulate your body's natural healing abilities.

PRO TIP: For enhanced cooling and anti-inflammatory benefits, place your Rose Quartz Gua Sha in the fridge for 15 mins before rolling.

Since our Gua Sha tool is made of semi-precious stone - Rose Quartz, it is fragile. Gua sha tools will break if you drop them on a hard surface. You can store your tool in a dry place and somewhere it will not fall. Being fragile, they need to be handled with care. We supply a cotton bag and box which when used together are ideal for keeping the Gua Sha safe and secure.
