A Full Gua Sha Routine With Our Jade Stone
It's become all the rage as of late... and for good reason! Let's learn how to incorporate this ancient skincare technique into our modern lives... with SBA's very own Jade Facial Gua Sha Stone.
What is a Gua Sha?
The Gua Sha: an ancient Chinese practice that involves using this tool to massage the skin. Depending on the pressure used, it's a soothing skincare treatment that helps with glowing, healthy skin, not to mention a host of other amazing benefits including lymphatic support!
How does a Gua Sha work?
One of the benefits of the gua sha is its ability to stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage when applied to the face! This can help give you that "lifted" look. It also can be used all over the body, but that's another blog post for another day!
As you glide the Gua Sha tool across your face, it helps to boost blood flow. But that's not all! Gua Sha treatments also help combat puffiness and sculpt your facial structure, providing you with a more defined and lifted appearance. I love using the Gua Sha because, among its many benefits, it's so relaxing! The gentle massaging motions can help release tension you didn't even know you had. Yesssss.
One of the best parts about the Gua Sha is its versatility! Whether you want to treat fine lines and wrinkles, sculpt your facial features, reduce tension headaches, or relieve jaw tension, this little yet powerful ancient tool has got your back. You can customize your Gua Sha routine based on your skincare goals and specific areas of concern. Not to mention, it helps to massage in whatever slip solution or serum you use during your treatments! Just an added bonus.
