DIY at home like a pro with this handy affordable Stone Guasha Board Tool.
Facial Guasha, a traditional Chinese Medicine technique, offers a non-invasive way to lift, firm, and rejuvenate the face, neck, and décolleté. While best performed by professionals using specialized tools, you can achieve impressive results at home with basic strokes and simple tools like this natural stone Guasha Facial Board Tool.
About Guasha:
First, Gua Sha translates to “scraping” but involves no skin breaking. Instead, it’s a myofascial release technique using a smooth tool to massage the face deeply yet gently. Unlike body Gua Sha, which may leave temporary red marks, facial applications are slow and methodical, ensuring no marking—only deep muscle relaxation. For example, many clients relax so deeply they fall asleep during sessions.
How It Works/ Why We Need It:
Gua Sha targets muscle contractions, like the “11’s” (forehead furrows), caused by repeated expressions. By massaging these areas, it relaxes tension, smooths lines, and enhances circulation. Moreover, it strengthens Qi flow through facial energy channels, such as the Stomach channel, which supports muscle tone and counters sagging. This makes Gua Sha a natural “DIY Botox,” reducing deep and fine lines with regular use.
Benefits of Facial Gua Sha:
-
Lifts and firms the face, neck, and décolleté
-
Reduces wrinkles, sagging, and dark circles
-
Improves circulation and nutrient delivery for better product absorption
-
Enhances complexion brightness and Qi flow
-
Promotes lymph drainage and detoxification
At-Home vs. Professional Use:
Professionals deliver a Botox-like effect, improving Qi flow, lifting sagging, and detoxifying channels. However, at home, you can learn basic strokes to target forehead lines or tension. For instance, combining Guasha with devices like the Clareblend MINI Microcurrent enhances lifting with minimal time investment. To start, apply a slip agent (e.g., high quality facial oil such as Dermaki Nourish) to ensure smooth gliding and optimize product penetration.
How to Do Facial Gua Sha at Home:
-
Prepare: Apply a slip agent to clean skin.
-
Stroke Gently: Use light, upward strokes with a jade or horn tool, focusing on areas like the forehead or jawline.
-
Stay Consistent: Practice 1-2 times weekly for 5-10 minutes to see gradual improvements.
Glow Collective Guidance- Safety Notes:
Our team practices and recommends Guasha as a safe and non-invasive when done correctly. Always use a slip agent to prevent skin irritation, and avoid aggressive pressure to ensure no marking. If you have sensitive skin or medical conditions, consult a healthcare provider before starting. Avoid using this Guasha Facial Board Tool or any other on broken or inflamed skin.
