Gua Sha is an ancient Asian technique used in traditional medicine for massaging and increasing circulation.
Using Gua Sha tools as part of your skincare routine will help repair, regenerate, heal and promote cell turnover by stimulating new oxygenated blood flow. The mushroom stone massage will aid lymphatic drainage to detox your face and promote healthy, firm skin and reduce puffiness.
It is an extremely relaxing and therapeutic selfcare treatment. It can be used in many ways not only for your face. The stimulation of blood flow and cell turnover also makes it a good massage technique for muscular or ligament strains anywhere on your body.
There is no set way of using these stones, we have given examples in The Ritual section. Most importantly, find a routine or technique that suits not only your skin / muscles but also your mind and wellness too. Experiment and find ways that suit you. Enjoy the experience.
Price includes two Gua Sha Mushroom Stones
Gua Sha Mushrooms
On cleansed, dry skin (we recommend our Antioxidant Cleanser and Konjac Sponge) gently dab on our Face Serum and massage in upward motions. Don't forget to also apply to your neck too. The oil will nourish and help ease of movement of the Gua Sha Mushroom.
Start by gently dabbing the Gua Sha on areas around your eyes, temple and nose to stimulate.
In circular movements use the small edge of the stone on the inside of your nose - this will release any sinus congestion.
Then start at the inner corner just under your eye and gently glide the stone across. Use light pressure as this is a very delicate area.
Circle above the brow working from the inside of your face outwards. Again concentrate on the area inbetween your eyes in gentle circular motions - this is where our face holds a lot of tension.
Gently massage your temple with the Gua Sha, closing your eyes and clearing your mind.
Each movement can be done five times, and repeat on the other side of your face, or do both sides at the same time.
Repeat the circular motions from the corner of your eyes, under and across the brow. But this time follow in one whole movement across the side of your face and right down your neck. Move the fluid outward and away from the face in one direction.
Use the Gua Sha across any part of your face always from the centre out, across your jaw line, upwards across your forehead - find your way of stimulating circulation and detoxing. The mushroom stones will firm your skin and with natural oils, will awaken your natural glow.
Relax and enjoy the massage and the present moment.
* Make sure to have a layer of oil on your skin to prevent the Gua Sha from dragging or tugging.
