Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese massage technique that mostly uses gemstones in various shapes for facial and body massages. Increasingly popular in anti-aging care, the technique is used to treat and prevent skin aging processes.

Gua Sha stones are mainly used for facial massage to promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and improve the complexion. They support lymphatic drainage, stimulate collagen production and thus contribute to firmer skin. They also help to relax muscles, especially in the face, neck and back, and relieve tension. The technique is also used to promote skin health and detoxification through better lymphatic flow.

Gua Sha stones are used after applying a facial oil or serum to facilitate gliding. The stone should be held at an angle of 15-45 degrees to the skin. Gentle, stroking movements begin at the neck and continue over the jaw, cheeks and eye area to the forehead. It is important to apply gentle pressure and always make movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. For optimal results, use regularly.

Gua Sha stones can be used daily or several times a week, depending on your needs. For best results, it is recommended to use daily, especially for the first 28 days. After that, use can be reduced to 3-4 times a week. A session usually lasts about 5-10 minutes. It is important to adjust the pressure during use and pay attention to the needs of the skin.

Cleaning: After each use, the stones should be washed thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap cleaner. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents to avoid damaging the stone.

Drying: Pat the Gua Sha stone with a clean, soft cloth to remove excess water. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it away.

Storage: Store the stone in a dry, clean place to avoid scratches or breakage. Use a small box or soft cloth to protect it from impact.
