You don’t need to go to the spa to get a luxurious facial. Gua Sha is here to lift, firm and give you a glowing complexion, all from home. Release facial tension, stimulate circulation and get glowing.
Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique where you massage your skin with a tool. By gently running the tool over your skin — which can be made of stone like jade, rose quartz or many other materials, you stimulate circulation and blood flow to your skin.
That blood flow brings more oxygen to your skin, which stimulates cell regeneration, speeds healing and recovery and all that good stuff.
Karina, our co-owner and CEO, is a BIG fan of this practice. So we sat her down to share why exactly she loves Gua Sha so much and how she uses it.
Your Gua Sha tool will glide over your skin best when paired with a facial oil like your favourite Serum or Transformative Cleansing Oil. The motion will also help deposit all that nourishing goodness.
1. Cleanse
Always start with a clean slate, cleanse your skin and be sure all your makeup has been removed. Looking for an all-in-one? Our Cleansing Oil not only cleanses your skin, but can remove even the toughest mascara.
2. Facial Oil
To keep things gliding smoothly, not tug on your skin, and to create a more luxurious facial experience, use a few drops of serum or cleansing oil on your face.
3. Massage
Hold your tool at a 15-45 degree angle (not 90) and smooth along skin in an upward motion. Massage for as long as you feel like it. Reapply oil as needed.
Practice Gua Sha anytime you want. Maybe you’ll look a little weird on the subway, we don’t recommend that. Karina, our CEO, is a huge fan of Gua Sha and she prefers practicing before bed for a relaxing facial massage.
Our Gua Sha Tool is made of Rose Quartz, which is traditionally known as the stone of love. But we like to think of it as the stone of self love. Rose Quartz is believed to have healing and calming properties that create an environment of love and harmony. Who doesn’t want that?
