Oh Lou Lou! Jade Gua Sha
Gua sha relaxes muscles, gets blood moving and reduces puffiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It stimulates circulation and brings in oxygen. The skin immediately becomes more supple, shiny and healthy-looking.⠀
Jade Nephrite promotes healing and balance in general; balancing energies, emotional balance and inner balance. Heart chakra.⠀⠀⠀⠀

Traditional Chinese therapists work hard and deep causing the skin to turn bloody red. Translated, "Gua" means a stroke, and "Sha" refers to redness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gua Sha works by creating controlled trauma brief redness, which the skin then begins to repair by creating new collagen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To promote facial beauty yourself, however, you need to apply a gentler massage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the outward, upward strokes of a flat, S-shaped stone, slow lymphatic fluids - stagnant fluids that can cause puffiness and inflammation - are discharged by hand, triggering our body's natural cleansing process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you are not able to have a Gua Sha facial massage performed by a trained practitioner, we recommend at least taking a course on how to do it.
This gua sha tool is about 8cm long. The stones are natural and unique, so all are slightly different in colour.
