What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is an ancient technique of traditional Chinese medicine that consists of gently scraping the skin using a stone tool. This gesture stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, thus promoting the elimination of toxins and the oxygenation of cells.
Contrary to what one might think, Gua Sha is not painful. On the contrary, it is a relaxing and soothing experience that provides an immediate feeling of well-being. The stone tool, usually made of jade or rose quartz, glides delicately over the skin, offering a moment of relaxation and care.
The benefits of Gua Sha for the skin
In addition to its relaxing properties, Gua Sha has many benefits for the skin:
1. Improved blood circulation
Gua Sha stimulates microcirculation, allowing better oxygenation of cells. This results in a brighter, more radiant and more even complexion.
2. Reduced inflammation
Thanks to its draining action, Gua Sha helps eliminate toxins and waste accumulated in the body. This results in a reduction in redness, irritation and swelling.
3. Smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines
Gua Sha promotes the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity. With regular use, a gradual reduction in wrinkles and fine lines is observed.
4. Skin firming and toning
Gua Sha stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers, helping to firm and tone the skin. It is an ally of choice to combat sagging skin.
5. Improved absorption of care
Thanks to its draining and stimulating action, Gua Sha allows better penetration of active ingredients into the skin. Your treatments will thus be more effective and their benefits increased tenfold.

How to use Gua Sha?
Using Gua Sha is very simple and can be easily integrated into your beauty routine. Here are the steps to follow:
- Start by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying an oil or serum suited to your skin type.
- Hold the Gua Sha tool flat against your skin and use light, fluid scraping motions, following the lines of your face.
- Focus on areas where skin tends to be more puffy or tired, such as the cheeks, forehead or chin.
- Finish with a circular massage at the temples to promote relaxation.
Practice Gua Sha 2 to 3 times a week, preferably in the morning or evening, to obtain long-term visible results.
Which Gua Sha tool to choose?
The choice of the Gua Sha tool is important for optimal use. Here are some tips for selecting it well:
- Opt for a natural stone tool like jade, rose quartz or obsidian. They offer better energetic and vibrational properties.
- Choose an ergonomic model, with a shape adapted to the morphology of your face.
- Choose a medium-sized tool, neither too small nor too large, for a comfortable grip.
- Make sure the edges are smooth and rounded to avoid irritation.
