Gua Sha is a beauty massage therapy that’s trending in the UK. The name is also applied to the massage tool itself. 

It is so popular that it has amassed over 575,000 Instagram hashtags with #guashafacelift and #guashaglow also trending.

Gua Sha is a Mandarin word and according to Vogue, the term Gua Sha actually means ‘scraping’. 

Whilst it is not advisable to ‘scrape’ your face with Gua Sha stones, slowly drawing the smooth, cool Gua Sha stone under the eyes, jaw and cheek bones can support lymphatic drainage to help to release toxins from the body and encourage healthy circulation in the skin.

 

What does Gua Sha do?

Facial massage is a great self-care way to relax and unwind. Using facial massage techniques like Gua Sha will also help to support the flow of blood to the skin to encourage healthy, well-nourished glow.

These are some of ways our customers tell us that they use their Gua Sha massage tools.

  • To cool and refresh the skin
  • To calm puffy skin
  • To firm, contour and define the jawline
  • To support skin radiance
  • To relax and release tension

A low-cost way to support the health and balance of your skin, incorporating Gua Sha facial massage techniques into your beauty routine is incredibly relaxing, gentle on skin, requires little preparation.

Better yet, this self-care beauty step can be performed within minutes, at home, with no costly trips to the day spa required!

How to Gua Sha

Gua Sha

 

Gua Sha is not to be rushed and we suggest allowing at least 15 minutes to gently perform your facial massage, taking care not to press on the skin too hard with the stone.

To help your Gua Sha glide over the contour of the skin, first cleanse your face and then prime the skin with a light layer of your favourite facial oil.

Find the best facial oil for extra benefits to your Gua Sha massage.

To help the skin feel refreshed, cool your stone in the fridge before use.

 

Is Gua Sha any good? 

It may take some time to see results from your Gua Sha stone and results will differ from person to person.

To see results faster, we’d advise incorporating Gua Sha into your daily routine, dedicating around 15 minutes a day to Gua Sha facial massage.

Our customers have certainly been impressed by the results of Gua Sha and our Gua Sha tools have amassed almost a hundred 5-star reviews.

Here we share some of the ways that Green People customers have been benefiting from Gua Sha.
