Gua Sha is a traditional therapy method originating from China, using a smooth tool with round edges, usually a gemstone or ceramic, to rub on the skin. Besides helping with blood circulation, it is also considered a natural beauty method because it improves the condition of the skin, reduces wrinkles, and helps slim the face.
When blood circulation is improved, the elasticity of the skin increases. Improving blood circulation on the skin not only helps improve the skin but also gently relaxes tension. However, consistent and persistent implementation is required to achieve significant results.
How to perform Gua Sha massage to slim the face
Gua Sha massage needs to be done correctly. It is essential to seek advice from an experienced expert or spa therapist.
– Start by cleansing and moisturizing the face and neck.
– Use facial oil or serum to apply to the face and neck for easy gliding of the tool and to prevent damage to the skin.
– Start from the neck and move upward. Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 15-degree angle and use the remaining fingers as pulling force, gently glide the tool along the skin with upward strokes.
Note: Repeat each movement 3 to 5 times.
– Start from the middle of the chin to the jawbone until touching the ear. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side. Then, start from the laugh lines and gradually glide outward on the cheeks.
Be gentle with the area under the eyes, as it is the most sensitive area. Press lightly and glide the Gua Sha tool from the inner corner of the eye to the temple. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side, then repeat these steps similarly on the forehead.
Note:
Incorrect use of this type of massage stone can cause side effects, including redness, broken capillaries, or bruising. Bruises usually heal within a few days but may take up to a week. For sensitive skin, it is better to use a ceramic Gua Sha tool.
The shape of this tool has been designed to be suitable, so it must be used correctly. Specifically, the wing-shaped Gua Sha tool is easy to hold and convenient for massaging, making it very useful in relaxing tense muscles and tissues.
In addition, the curved part of the wing stimulates the lymphatic glands, creating conditions for detoxification, and the flat part easily soothes muscles. This is an effective Gua Sha facial massage tool that you can perform at home.
