Gua Sha Stone has been used in Asia for thousands of years, originating from traditional Chinese medicine used to massage the skin. The material can be made of jade, agate… With facial massage movements, it can improve skin issues such as sagging, wrinkles… much more effectively than using fingertips for massage as usual.

The benefits of gua sha stone when massaging the skin

– For swollen skin and eyes, gua sha stone can help eliminate swelling and puffiness.

Gua sha stone can stimulate blood circulation, helping skincare nutrients to be better absorbed.

Gua sha stone supports the improvement of aging wrinkles, sagging skin, and softens rough textured skin.

How to massage with gua sha stone

Apply a layer of nourishing oil, serum, or moisturizer to “lubricate” the skin. Use the different edges of the gua sha stone to apply gentle pressure and stimulate blood circulation.

The edges of the stone will correspond to different areas such as: both cheeks, around the eyes, forehead, diagonal line of the chin, neck… and you just need to move up the skin areas and apply gentle pressure. Perform about 5 – 10 strokes on each skin area.

Place the gua sha stone right in the middle of the chin, swipe the tool towards the ears, then press, hold, and move back and forth. This gesture will facilitate the smooth circulation of blood and helps slim down the jawline over time.

Key notes when using gua sha stone

– When using gua sha stone on the skin, you need to move in an upward direction to counteract the gravitational pull, only then can it improve the sagging condition of the skin.

– When massaging, use one hand to hold the skin and the other hand to glide the gua sha stone. Each stroke should be decisive and in an upward direction. Absolutely avoid gliding back and forth, as this will make the skin more saggy and flabby without any benefits for your skin.

Frequency of using gua sha stone for skin massage

You should incorporate gua sha massage into your daily skincare routine every morning. Because in the morning, the face is prone to puffiness, and gua sha stone can help reduce eye bags and facial swelling.

Set a goal to spend at least 10 minutes each day for gua sha massage. Morning massage can minimize puffiness when waking up, while evening massage will stimulate the skin to absorb nutrients.

Experts also recommend that individuals with a weakened immune system (those struggling with seasonal allergies or easily catching colds) should try Gua sha. By continuously stimulating, Gua sha helps eliminate stagnant blood and toxins from the body.
