Gua Sha Stone

Gua sha use originates back to maybe as far as stone-age ancient China. It is a practice of facial stimulation by directional pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system, breaking up stagnant congestion, fascia tension and aiding in cellular regeneration.

The gua sha stone can be used in the morning or the evening and is best used after a fresh application of your favorite facial oil. My top picks would be Wildflowers for the daytime and Evening Song for the night time.

For optimal results, start at the center of your face and move upwards towards your hairline applying a firm pressure and holding the stone at a 45º angle. After completing the motion over your facial area and jawline, pull from the top of your neck downwards towards your shoulders.

The practice can be completed all over your body pulling towards your heart.
