Gua Sha Stones - the exciting new holistic solution to facial rejuvenation!
Gua Sha-what?!
Historical records on gua sha go back to the Paleolithic Age. When people fell sick or became unconscious, hands or stones were used to rub parts of their body to help alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Gua sha has long been a folk therapy widely used by the ancient Chinese.
Gua Sha Stones as we know them now are tools used to relieve tension, sculpt skin, and increase circulation. The stones come in a variety of shapes and usually have a smaller edge that can be used near the eyes or nose.

How To Use
1. Clean your face using a good quality cleanser
2. Use the Gua Sha 1 - 2 times a week after applying a serum or oil
3. Start gliding the Gua Sha from the center of the face (applying pressure) towards the ears. The flatter end of the tool is suitable for the cheek and forehead area whereas the opposite end is more suitable for the chin area.
4. The skin may appear slightly redder after 5 minutes. This is a good sign as it is an indication of circulation.
