THE GRACE SKIN RESET

What is Gua sha

• Gua sha is a traditional skin‑scraping massage technique from East Asia, typically done using a smooth stone or tool (often made of jade, rose quartz, or similar) to gently glide over the skin.  
• On the face, the pressure is usually light — different from the firmer scraping used on the body in traditional therapy.  

Benefits people associate with facial Gua sha

Using Gua sha on your face may offer:

• Reduced puffiness / better lymphatic drainage — gently scraping can help drain excess fluid from under the eyes and cheeks.  
• Improved circulation & “glowy” skin — the massage stimulates blood flow, which may improve skin tone and radiance.  
• Relaxed facial muscles & less tension — can help ease jaw, forehead or neck tension, which sometimes contributes to fine lines or a tired look.  
• Slight contouring / defined features (jawline, cheeks) — regular, gentle use may help skin appear a bit firmer and features more sculpted.  

Important: While Gua sha can support skin care, it’s not a miracle solution — results tend to be subtle and temporary rather than dramatic or permanent. 

🪄 How to use it correctly

• Always apply oil or a moisturizer first — this helps the tool glide smoothly without tugging your skin.  
• Use gentle, upward and outward strokes from chin → jawline → cheeks → under‑eyes → forehead → hairline.  
• You can do a session about 1–3 times a week (some people do it daily, depending on skin sensitivity).  
• Clean the tool after each use to prevent bacterial build‑up.
