GUA SHA – OBSIDIAN

Gua sha is a simple, beautiful and very pleasant way to bring more mindfulness to touching your face regularly. It’s not just a “beauty tool” ♥

It’s a little ritual where you pause for a moment, take some oil or serum, glide over your face with slow strokes and let both your skin and yourself take a little breather. With regular use, gua sha can help promote circulation in the skin, a fresher-looking face, gentle tension relief and the natural flow of lymph.

Your face then looks more vibrant, more rested and more “like itself” 🙂  . . .  I personally use it about every other day and really do see a difference.

Afterwards, my skin has a healthy flush, looks fresher and my whole face seems more awake … But as with everything, consistency matters here too.

It’s not about doing it once a month and expecting a miracle, but rather giving yourself gentle care on a regular basis. Always use gentle strokes, without pressing hard.

Work outwards from the centre of your face, across your cheeks towards your ears, upwards along your jawline, and with an especially gentle, mindful touch on your neck. The gua sha tool should glide over your skin, so it’s a good idea to use a facial oil or serum. It’s a little thing, but it’s exactly these little things that make a difference.

Because we wear our face every day. And if we don’t take care of it, our skin will show us that very honestly over time ♥
