What is Facial Gua Sha?
It all begins with after I became a Certified Face Yoga and Facial Gua Sha teacher! I am amazed with the transformation from Face Yoga and Facial Gua Sha.
I notice significant transformation on my face and energy through Face Yoga and Facial Gua Sha. In this article, I would like to share with you the benefits of Facial Gua Sha for your skin and overall well-being.
What is Gua Sha?
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese self-massage technique that is thousands of years old. It works with the meridian lines, acupressure points, circulatory and lymphatic systems of the body. For me, I think the best time to do Facial Gua Sha is in the morning after a good night sleep.
Gua (刮): This means "to scrape" or "to rub" in Chinese. It refers to the technique of scraping the skin with a tool.
Sha (痧): This means "sand" or "sand-like rash" and refers to the redness or small, raised spots that can appear on the skin after the scraping technique.
The Gua Sha practice involves using a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape the skin in long, upward strokes with gentle pressure. This method is believed to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Here are some of the benefits that I experienced:
Improved Circulation: Gua Sha helps to boost blood flow and circulation, which can lead to a healthier, more radiant complexion.
Reduced Inflammation: By promoting better circulation, Gua Sha can help reduce puffiness and inflammation, giving your skin a smoother appearance.
Enhanced Lymphatic Drainage: This technique aids in moving lymph fluid, which helps to detoxify the skin and remove toxins.
Relief from Tension: Gua Sha can help release muscle tension and relieve stress, providing a relaxing experience.
Increased Absorption of Skincare Products: By stimulating blood flow, Gua Sha can enhance the absorption of serums and moisturizers, making them more effective.
Improved Skin Texture: Regular use of Gua Sha can lead to improved skin texture and tone, making your skin look more youthful and firmer.
Promotes better quality of sleep. Regular use of Gua Sha combine with acupressure points push can lead to better quality of sleep.
Improve levels of collagen and elastin. By promoting better circulation and more oxygen and nutrients, this will lead to improve levels of collagen and elastin.
