We are, of course, talking about the gua sha facial stone. This is a gadget that has been conquering the American and European markets for several seasons, but it has been known in Asia for centuries. Gua sha is made of a specially shaped stone. Some models cost up to several hundred zlotys and are made of materials such as rose quartz or jade. However, in popular stores and drugstores you can find gua sha for just a few zlotys.
Youth massage. Gua sha works better than botox!
That’s true! If you perform gua sha stone massage regularly and correctly, you may notice results similar to, or even better than, those obtained with expensive and often invasive cosmetic treatments.
On the Internet you will find many guides on how to perform a massage with this special stone. To start with, I recommend the above TikTok video. Remember that the massage should be performed on cleansed skin, preferably with a few drops of oil or cream, so that the stone glides smoothly over the face and does not irritate it. The massage is always performed in an “upward” motion. You do not have to rush! This is supposed to be a moment of relaxation for you.
Personally, I like to do this massage in the evening, just before bed. However, if I wake up with a swollen face, I also do it in the morning and the swelling disappears in a few minutes!
