Opalite Gua Sha Massage Stone

The name 'Gua Sha" comes from the Chinese word for 'scraping' - gua sha is the practice of using a tool, such as our opalite and rose quartz massage stones, to apply positive pressure and scrape across the skin to relieve pain and tension.  This process can cause petechiae and micro-trauma, and creates a response in the body which may help to break down scar tissue.

What is Gua Sha Good For?

• Smoother skin
• Brightening complexion
• Reducing facial tension
• Healing dark circles
• Promoting blood circulation
• Relaxing muscles and promoting tissue drainage
• Reducing inflammation

How to Use

1. After Cleansing, apply a facial serum and / or oil.
2. Using light pressure apply the concave portion of the tool on the skin at a flat angle.
3. Slowly scrape the tool in an upward motion across the jawline from the centre of the chin towards the ears.
4. Repeat each motion five times for best results

The results can cause some redness and bruising.
