Regular practice of a Gua Sha facial massage improves overall health and radiance of the skin, as well as:
Promotes lymphatic drainage and detoxification so skin can function better and improve blood circulation
Reduces puffiness, dark circles and fluid build-up
Relieves muscle tension in the face, jaw and neck which helps to diminish wrinkles
Aids in circulation which tones skin, promotes increased skin elasticity and gives skin a glow
Firms and lifts the face over time
Gua sha (pronounced Gwa sha) has been practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years in which it moves lymphatic fluids, releases fascia so skin can function better and breaks down adhesions and hardness in muscles, particularly in the jaw line. The overall effect boosts blood flow and circulation to the skin and which improves skin tone, aids in healing and reduces puffiness and fine lines.
The Black Obsidian used to make the Gua Sha tool comes from molten lava and so naturally retains warmth and is great to use on congested, blemish prone skin. The warmth of the obsidian encourages stimulation of the lymphatic system and circulation, which is known to draw out negativity like anger, stress, and resentment that we accumulate daily and can make us, feel more grounded.
Using our Black Obsidian Gua Sha facial tool regularly can help sculpt and contour the face, whilst helping serums penetrate further into the skin to increase their effectiveness.
