What is jade gua sha?
Gua sha is an ancient massage technique originating from China. It involves using a flat stone, usually jade, to gently massage the skin. This massage stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, thus eliminating toxins and boosting the complexion's radiance.
Jade, on the other hand, is a semi-precious stone known for its soothing and regenerating properties. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, jade helps reduce redness, swelling and signs of fatigue.
Combining gua sha with jade stone is therefore a real asset for radiant and healthy skin.
The benefits of jade gua sha

Using a jade gua sha tool regularly will bring you many benefits, both aesthetic and well-being-wise:
1. Improved blood circulation
Gua sha massage stimulates blood microcirculation, allowing better oxygenation and more effective elimination of toxins. Your skin then regains a brighter and more radiant appearance.
2. Reduced swelling and redness
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, jade helps soothe irritation and reduce redness. Gua sha also helps drain fluids and reduce swelling, especially in the face.
3. Smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines
Gua sha massage helps boost the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for skin firmness and suppleness. With regular use, you will see a marked improvement in your skin's texture and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Firming of the facial contour
Gua sha, by stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation, helps tone tissues and firm the contours of the face. Your features will appear more defined and your oval more refined.
5. Detoxification and radiance of the complexion
By promoting the elimination of toxins, the jade gua sha helps purify the skin and restore its luminosity. Your complexion will appear more even and more radiant.

Using jade gua sha is very simple and can easily be incorporated into your daily beauty routine. Here are the steps to follow:
- Start by thoroughly cleansing your face and applying your usual serum or skincare cream.
