The practice promotes tissue drainage and relaxes stiff muscles. But it is not your ordinary gua sha massage. That is because it does not leave bruise-marks on the face as it is usually done with a lighter hand.

Gua sha is not a recent technique but it's causing quite some buzz. Pronounced as gwa sha, this facial treatment method involves scraping the skin with flat rose quartz or white jade stone from Anfisa in upward strokes. The practice promotes tissue drainage and relaxes stiff muscles. But it is not your ordinary gua sha massage. That is because it does not leave bruise-marks on the face as it is usually done with a lighter hand.

Reasons to Fall in Love with Gua Sha
1. Grounding Ritual
Whether you have opted to do gua sha by yourself or receive professional treatment, the one thing that's guaranteed is that the practice is incredibly grounding. The gentle touch and the gradual speed of movement are deeply relaxing. They will instantly activate your parasympathetic nervous state.
When you feel grounded in your body and have a calm mind, you can better deal with emotional problems or obstacles that you may encounter.
When you use gua sha as a medium for tuning into yourself, it fully transforms the cosmetic treatment into amazing stress relief and grounding ritual.
2.Tension Relief
The neck and face hold so much tension. Applying deep pressure with the use of gua sha stone has the potential to really get into those sticky knotted parts to release any held muscular tension. This in turn allows muscles to properly perform their supportive roles. When you incorporate the technique regularly into your beauty routine, you will experience dramatic release tension. The tool can be an important resource for sufferers of TMJ and headaches. Regularly relaxing the facial muscles prevents and/or fades light expression lines.
3. It is a Wonderful Detoxifier
Another use of gua sha is clearing meridian channels that connect organs and transport both chi and blood. The channels must be clear if they are to work in harmony. Failure of one organ to malfunction could lead to the organ being blocked, and the reverse is also true. The good news is that a gua sha tool can help to clear blockages channels. This is done by scraping the Anfisa face massage tool along it. The good thing with a gua sha technique is that it imparts a genuinely holistic effect on your body. The manual movement of the practice stimulates the lymphatic system, something that helps internal organs to function optimally. This is because it breaks up stagnation, toxins, and flowing debris within the body so they can be expelled more easily.
4. Natural Facelift
The Anfisa moon white jade face beauty tool has unique edges that work perfectly to sculpt, tighten, and lift the skin. Because a face massage beauty tool helps to stimulate circulation, the practice oxygenates and also transports nutrients to the facial skin cells. And because of the improved flow of blood, you will have a more lively and youthful appearance.
5. Glowing Skin
When there is no flow, then there is also no glow. Gua sha improves circulation and also boosts your lymphatic function. This leads to a naturally dewy and glowing complexion. The gentle scraping of gua sha across your skin helps moisturizer/serum to penetrate better into the skin. This means that the juicy phytonutrients will percolate into the bottom layers of the skin to give it even more hydration. Also, gua sha may be useful in preventing and clearing acne, reducing inflammation, and decongesting the skin.
6. It Hydrates the Pores and skin
When used together with Anfisa LILOU Hydrating balm, your skin gets more benefits because the oil is made from vital humectants like fatty acid, and hemp oil. Also, it has several phytosterols that boost moisture ranges and vastly increase dry pores in your skin. It also hydrates the skin and the pores, reducing water loss.
7. Anti-Inflammatory
The hydrating balm also has all-natural ingredients that are filled with inflammatory properties. That is because these compounds contain polyphenols, phytonutrients, and phytosterols. The compounds soothe the skin and its pores, as well as preserve the redness that usually shows on the skin. Also, it contains helichrysum italics for assisting to diminish and repair scars. Helichrysum italics also helps to regenerate tissues and decrease future cases because it has antibacterial properties.
How do you use a Gua Sha tool?
If you have opted to get a spa-level face massage at the comfort of your bathroom, then you should begin by scraping the neck and move over to the forehead. The idea is to create a clear path that the fluid will follow to drain your face. These are the steps to follow when you want to use a gua sha tool:
Before you begin, you must prepare your skin with an appropriate beauty product.
After that, start working the neck area and then move up to your forehead
While on the jawline, chin, neck, and the parts around the mouth, it's best to use outward and upward strokes.
Next up, sweep across your cheeks, across the eyebrows, and gently press under the eyes.
Finish the technique by performing upward strokes on your hairline's forehead.
How often should you do a Gua Sha facial?
For the best results, you should perform a gua sha massage at least once a day. However, because we find it difficult to even take multivitamins daily, you could very well do it twice or thrice a day and you will still be okay.
Another thing that matters is the time that you perform your gua sha. When you do it in the morning, the procedure mainly treats puffiness and at the same time energizes the skin. On the other hand, when it is done at night, it releases tight connective tissues.
Conclusion
Immediately after receiving a gua sha face massage, you will see that you have sharper cheekbones and less puffy eyes. But if you want to achieve better results other than the mere look of your skin, you should perform it at least three times a week. This will help your body better deal with a range of issues like dryness, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne.
