How-To Gua Sha to glow!
Posted by Estela Cockrell Dec 3rd 2019
We've been hearing the buzz around our shop about "what is the Gua sha and how do you use it?" Kind of like our crystal rollers,Gua Sha aids in lymphatic drainage, de-puffing, and firming your face muscles deep below the surface. It works deeply to release tension, stress held within the muscles. Gua Sha stimulate circulation which helps with collagen production and firmness for visibly younger skin. So even if you have a crystal roller (product penetration, lymphatic drainage, lymphatic drainage), Gua Sha are more of a deep muscular work out and firming deep within. They are also great to break down scar tissue and release tight TMJ joints, help with pressure point release and migraines. AND, Gua Sha can be used throughout the body to stimulate circulation (great for swelling and cellulite). Check out our IGTV for the workout.
