The craze for Gua Sha is due to the fact that it is not only highly effective, but also very easy to use on your own - although you can get treatments at a spa whenever you like, if you want to add this method to your daily skincare routine, follow the simple steps below.
Stones like rose quartz and jade are used because they help improve the penetration of creams and serums, and so the cold stone can also help constrict blood vessels, support lymphatic drainage, and eliminate fluid that accumulates and causes puffiness in the face.
ROSE QUARTZ. This type of stone inspires a love of beauty. It was recognized in the ancient world for its physical beautification powers. Quartz facial masks have been found in Egyptian tombs, as the Egyptians and Romans believed it would brighten their complexion and prevent wrinkles.
Benefits of Rose Quartz Gua Sha: It helps soothe burns and diminish the appearance of scars. It can also stimulate the proper functioning of the intestines and cardiovascular system, help relieve tension and stress, palpitations or skipped beats, and is said to stabilize irregular heart rhythms.
JADE. Jade has many qualities and colors. I have highlighted the 2 types of jade below: Nephrite jade. This is a distinctive dark green and sometimes almost black nephrite jade, also called "He Tian" jade, which is rarer than the lighter green Xiu Yan jade. The word "nephrite" is derived from the Greek word "nephros", which literally means "kidney". In China, nephrite jade is considered to have a strong healing resonance with kidney energy.
According to researchers, it has been discovered that nephrite emits far-infrared rays when applied topically, which increases blood flow in the skin. And proper kidney function is important for having beautiful skin. Nephrite jade Gua Sha facial tools are denser and heavier than sun-green jade stone, and less likely to break.
Xiuyan jade: In contrast, lighter green Xiuyan jade is said to help the body detoxify and provide a number of therapeutic benefits.
