Gua Sha

In lithotherapy, which studies the beneficial effects of stones on our well-being, each type of stone is associated with specific properties that can positively influence the health and appearance of our skin. Here's a short guide to help you choose your gua sha according to your skin's specific needs:

💚 Jade Gua Sha: Known for its purifying properties, jade is particularly suited to skin seeking purification and detoxification. It helps reduce blemishes, accelerates healing, and is beneficial for acne-prone skin thanks to its ability to eliminate toxins and soothe inflammation.

💖 Rose quartz Gua Sha: This stone is ideal for those looking to even out skin tone, both in terms of texture and pigmentation, while also giving the skin a radiant glow. Rose quartz is known for its calming effects on stress and anxiety, thus promoting clear and smooth skin. It also helps preserve youthful skin by preventing and treating signs of aging.

💜 Amethyst Gua Sha: Recommended for sensitive skin and those seeking comfort, amethyst brings calm and balance. It is effective in soothing inflammation and redness, offering a feeling of serenity. This stone is therefore perfect for people with reactive skin, looking to regain a sense of well-being.

Each of these stones, with its unique properties, addresses specific skin needs, whether it's to purify, soothe, or improve its overall appearance. By incorporating these stones into your skincare routine, according to their affinity with your current needs, you can benefit from their regenerating, soothing, and beautifying properties.

Gua Sha, an ancient Asian beauty technique, offers numerous benefits for the skin thanks to its firming and beautifying action. Here are the main benefits of this practice:

• Tones and plumps the skin: improves skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in a reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Boosts collagen production: essential for maintaining healthy skin and combating sagging skin.
• Reduces facial swelling: thanks to lymphatic drainage, it reduces swelling and refines facial features.
• Lifts features: improves facial contour, particularly the oval of the face and cheekbones.
• Reduces dark circles and puffiness under the eyes: diminishes signs of fatigue and rejuvenates the eyes.
• Releases muscle tension: provides a feeling of relaxation and well-being and helps reduce stress.
• It brings radiance and evens out the complexion: by activating blood circulation, it promotes luminous and even skin.
• Eliminates imperfections: through its detoxifying action, it helps to eliminate toxins and clarify the complexion.
• Facilitates the absorption of skincare products: makes beauty products more effective by improving their absorption into the skin.

By incorporating gua sha into your skincare routine, you can enjoy its many benefits for healthier skin.

Yes, it is highly recommended to use a skincare product, such as a rich oil or cream, with the gua sha. Applying a skincare product before using the gua sha not only allows the tool to glide more easily over the skin, but also prevents any irritation or tightness. Furthermore, it helps maximize the absorption of the active ingredients in the product by the skin, making the treatment even more effective.

Using a product suited to your skin type in conjunction with gua sha, such as our Regenerating Oil Balm, can therefore significantly improve results in terms of hydration, skin nourishment and the effectiveness of the desired benefits.

To clean your gua sha, start by wetting it with warm water and applying a little soap. Clean the tool thoroughly (be careful, it's slippery), then rinse it. Dry the gua sha with a soft microfiber towel.

It is important to wash the gua sha after each use to eliminate any bacteria and residues of skincare products, thus ensuring optimal hygiene similar to that obtained by washing your hands before applying a cream.

According to crystal healing, here are some techniques to purify and recharge your gua sha:

First, purify it by immersing it in a bowl of water for a few hours (avoid using coarse salt) or by passing it through the smoke of white sage or Palo Santo.

To recharge it, leave it in the moonlight overnight, ideally during a full moon. In the morning, rinse it with clean water and dry it thoroughly before using it again.

To get the most benefit from gua sha on your skin, it is recommended to massage with this tool at least 2 to 3 times a week. This will allow your skin to regularly benefit from its firming, toning effects and its action on circulation.

If you are particularly enthusiastic and eager to maximize results, you can incorporate this practice into your daily routine. Frequent use of gua sha can indeed accelerate the appearance of beneficial effects on the skin.
