Why We Love Gua Sha Facial Massage

We are absolutely obsessed with Gua Sha facial massage! There are noticeable improvements and lift immediately after, as well as with continued use. 

Facial gua sha, a variation of the traditional Chinese healing technique, offers several potential benefits for the skin and overall facial health. When you add in your favorite BeaNaturel Serum, its truly a pampering, self-care treat.

Here are some of the commonly cited benefits:

1. Improved circulation: Like body gua sha, facial gua sha helps stimulate blood flow to the skin, which can promote a brighter, more radiant complexion. Increased circulation can also aid in delivering nutrients to the skin cells and removing toxins and waste products.

2. Reduced puffiness: Gua sha involves gentle scraping motions that help to drain excess fluid from the face, reducing puffiness and swelling, particularly around the eyes and jawline.

3. Relaxation of facial muscles: The gentle massage and scraping motions of facial gua sha can help relax tense facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle tension.

4. Improved lymphatic drainage: Facial gua sha can help stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in removing waste and toxins from the body. By promoting lymphatic drainage, facial gua sha may help reduce congestion and improve the overall health of the skin.

5. Enhanced product absorption: Gua sha is often performed using a facial oil or serum, which helps the gua sha tool glide smoothly over the skin. The massage action of gua sha can help these products penetrate more deeply into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.

6. Facial contouring: Regular practice of facial gua sha may help sculpt and define the contours of the face, particularly along the jawline and cheekbones, by promoting lymphatic drainage and reducing fluid retention.

7. Stress reduction: Like any form of massage, facial gua sha can help promote relaxation and reduce stress levels, which can have a positive impact on the health and appearance of the skin.

Many people report experiencing these benefits from facial gua sha, although individual results may vary. It's essential to practice facial gua sha gently and with care to avoid causing irritation or damage to the skin. 

We offer two different styles/shapes/materials of Gua Sha stones. Both offer edges & shapes, and at least one sawtooth edge.
