Product information Gua Sha stone

Instructions

Before you massage your face with the Gua Sha, it is wise to activate your lymph nodes so that blood circulation gets started. You do this by moving the Gua Sha stone from your collarbones to your jaw. Repeat this step 10 times and then it's time to really start!

Step 1: The Gua Sha glides more easily over your skin when you use a fine oil or serum.

Step 2: Use the V-shaped side of the Gua Sha to massage your jawline. Work from your chin towards your ears, following the shape of your jaw.

Step 3 & 4: Massage over your cheekbones with the long, curved side of the Gua Sha. You do this from your nose towards your ear, following the bone. You can massage the rest of your cheek in the same direction.

Step 5: Time to get rid of your bags! Use the short, convex side of the Gua Sha to massage the skin under your eyes. Also work from the inside out.

Step 6: Last but not least: time for your forehead and temples! For this you use the long, straight side of the Gua Sha.

When using a Gua Sha, always make sure that you place the stone on your skin at a 45 degree angle. If you use the stone perpendicularly, the action is too hard. Never press the stone too hard on your skin! It is normal for your skin to turn red after using the Gua Sha, but the massage should not be painful.

Veelgestelde vragen over Gua Sha

Wat doet gua sha massage voor je huid?

De massage voelt ontspannend, kan de doorbloeding tijdelijk stimuleren en laat de huid direct frisser ogen. Gua sha is een verzorgingsritueel, geen behandeling: verwacht geen blijvende verandering van rimpels of contouren, wel een huid die na de massage rustiger en frisser aanvoelt.

Hoe vaak gebruik je een gua sha steen?

Dagelijks mag, 's ochtends of 's avonds, enkele minuten per keer. Consistentie werkt beter dan af en toe lang masseren. Lichte roodheid direct na de massage is normaal en trekt snel weg; pijn doen mag het nooit.

Welke olie of welk serum gebruik je bij gua sha massage?

Gebruik de gua sha nooit op een droge huid. Een paar druppels gezichtsserum is genoeg om de steen soepel te laten glijden. Kies het serum dat bij je huid past: kalmerend (Cucumber), voedend (Avocado) of versterkend (Pumpkin). Zo combineer je de massage direct met je verzorgingsroutine.

Is gua sha massage geschikt voor de gevoelige huid?

Ja, zolang je zachte druk gebruikt. Sla plekken met actieve ontstekingen, acne of eczeem over en gebruik de steen niet op beschadigde huid. Twijfel je vanwege een huidaandoening, overleg dan eerst met je huisarts of huidtherapeut.

Benefits of the Gua Sha Stone

The Gua Sha stone is an ancient Chinese beauty ritual that revitalizes and rejuvenates the skin. By using this stone daily, you stimulate blood circulation and reduce visible signs of aging. Ideal for a radiant and healthy skin.

Gua Sha Stone Instructions for Use

Begin your Gua Sha routine with a clean face and apply a hydrating facial serum or oil. Hold the stone at a 45 degree angle and gently move it over your face in upward motions. Pay extra attention to your jawline and cheekbones for optimal results. Also, watch our video to see how to include your neck and throat in your massage.

Why choose a Gua Sha Stone?

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese method designed to help improve blood circulation in the skin. By massaging the skin with this smooth heart-shaped stone, tension in the skin will be reduced and blood circulation will be promoted.

Use the stone in the morning and/or evening in combination with the Carrot Cleanser or a Serum to stimulate collagen production, massage tense muscles and promote lymphatic drainage.

Regular treatments make the skin smoother and firmer. Clean the stone after use with a clean wet cloth to prevent unwanted spread of bacteria.
