How to use a Face Gua Sha?

Applying a Facial Gua Sha involves a gentler technique than the traditional method, providing a pathway to natural rejuvenation. Here's how to do it: first make sure your skin is perfectly clean. Then, spread an oil, a rich cream or a serum, and let your Gua Sha gently travel over your entire face. Apply pressure that is both gentle and assured, maintaining a 45° angle and practicing slow, defined movements. Always glide your Gua Sha from the center outward from the face. This action will have the effect of modeling the features of your face and energizing your lymphatic system. If certain areas of your face redden, no alarm: this is an indicator that the massage is effectively stimulating your blood microcirculation! For best results, repeat the movements approximately ten times per area and incorporate the use of Gua Sha into your daily routine.

Lymph, a clear fluid, moves through the lymphatic vessels thanks to the contractions of muscles and blood vessels. Similar to a waste disposal system, it removes excess fluids, toxins, and cellular debris. When the lymphatic circulation is insufficient, the body can weaken and become intoxicated, thus risking to cause various health problems such as swelling of the limbs, premature aging, cellulite, heavy legs, stretch marks, etc. .

Used for both medical and aesthetic purposes, lymphatic drainage is a massage designed to stimulate lymph circulation, detoxifying the body while strengthening the immune system.

These methods help to tone and rebalance the body, while offering special attention to the management of our emotions. Together, these three pillars of facial yoga work in synergy to promote glowing skin and an overall sense of well-being.
