GuaSha stones are a traditional Chinese skincare tool used for facial massage and lymphatic drainage. These smooth, flat stones are typically made of various materials such as jade, rose quartz, or bian stone. The name GuaSha translates to scraping sand, which describes the technique used during the facial massage. Facial gua sha, in particular, utilizes a nourishing oil that absorbs quickly into the skin, providing the glide needed without causing dragging or tearing. By improving circulation and engaging the lymphatic system, gua sha delivers nutrients to the skin while removing toxins, promoting a healthier complexion.
When practicing gua sha on your face, it's essential to use light pressure to encourage movement of interstitial fluid without causing bruising. Keeping the stone warm is recommended to increase blood flow and enhance the movement of the lymphatic system. Before starting, cleanse and tone your face, then apply a quarter-sized pool of Stone Massage Facial Oil to your entire face and neck.
Following the diagram, gently sweep each area at least three times, ensuring to drag the stone instead of pushing it. Adjust the stone's position to match the contours of your face for a comfortable experience. The cooling sensation of the stone on the skin can also help reduce puffiness and inflammation, particularly around the eyes and jawline.
Regular use of GuaSha stones is believed to promote skin health by improving the tone and elasticity of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting a more youthful complexion. The practice is also known to provide a sense of relaxation and calm, making it an enjoyable and therapeutic addition to any skincare routine.
When using GuaSha stones, it is essential to apply gentle pressure and use upward strokes to avoid tugging or pulling on the skin. The technique should be performed with care and consistency to achieve the best results over time.
GuaSha stones have gained popularity in recent years as part of holistic skincare and self-care practices. Their natural and non-invasive approach to facial massage makes them a popular choice for those seeking to improve their skin's health and appearance while enjoying a soothing and rejuvenating experience. Whether used as a daily ritual or an occasional treat, GuaSha stones offer a delightful way to elevate your skincare routine and promote overall well-being.
Black Onyx, a powerful and protective stone, offers several benefits to the skin when used as a gua sha stone. As an energy-absorbing stone, Black Onyx can help draw out negative energy and purify the skin, promoting a sense of calm and harmony during the gua sha practice.
Black Onyx's grounding properties help to balance and stabilize the skin, especially during times of stress and anxiety. By alleviating negative emotions and promoting emotional healing, the stone can contribute to a clearer, more radiant complexion.
When applied to the skin, Black Onyx helps stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Improved blood flow enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion. The increased lymphatic drainage aids in reducing puffiness and fluid retention, making the skin look firmer and more toned.
Black Onyx Gua Sha Stone is approximately 3 inches long and 1-3/4 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick. Natural variations appear in the beauty of the stone. Photos are illustrative of this.
Black Onyx grounds your body, mind, and soul. It encourages mental and emotional healing, and as it has great grounding energy is like a tonic for the nerves.
