The phenomenon that massage prolongs youth and elasticity of the skin has appeared for a long time. However, it is this tool for face and neck massage that broke into the beauty industry quite recently and very quickly gained great popularity. Today I want to share my impressions of the Gua Sha massage tool.
After watching on social networks how every big and small blogger shoots a video with an evening and morning beauty routine, where he massages the skin with a special stone to mash and warm up the facial muscles, I decided to purchase this miracle. Fortunately, Gua Sha can now be bought everywhere, and it is not so expensive. Mine cost me $5, maybe even less.
I chose a small size for a trial, but now it seems to me that a large one would be better. Mine is much smaller than the palm of my hand, it is not always convenient to hold it in my fingers when I do a massage, and the inner corner is slightly insular for my cheekbones. Despite these little things, the thing turned out to be convenient and, it seems, useful. Of course, your face will not become slim and fit at the wave of a magic wand. But you will definitely notice an improvement in blood circulation, an even skin color, a decrease in morning edema. And when you have already got up fresh and beautiful in the morning, then the mood for the whole day is on top ;)
Do not do Gua Sha massage without any means or only with water, so you will only injure and pull the skin. Massage should be done necessarily on a clean washed face, I also recommend treating the stone beforehand, so as not to rub dust and dirt into the skin. On a washed face, you can apply cosmetic oil (if the skin type allows you, I don't), serum or cream (I use these options). Without pulling the skin, put the stone on the right part of the face and smoothly move it in the right direction, as if stroking yourself, but with light pressure. Hold the skin with your fingers where you start moving the stone. This will help not to "pull" it. Movements should be done only along massage lines. Most likely they will be attached as instructions to your tool, but if not, they are easy to find on the Internet.
Unfortunately, over time, the Gua Sha is covered with small scratches, you can see it in the photo. I'm
thinking of updating it soon to a slightly larger size.
Do not buy too cheap Gua Sha, and check its material before buying. Some manufacturers do not make it from a whole stone, but from pressed, which generates rapid chips that will injure and scratch your skin. Choose carefully and take care of your beauty ❤️
