What is Gua Sha

The name gua sha — pronounced gwahshah — comes from the Chinese word for scraping. It may also be called skin scraping, spooning, or coining.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi or chi is energy that flows through the body. Many people believe that a person’s qi must be balanced and flow freely to ensure their health and wellbeing. People also believe that qi can become blocked, causing pain or tension in the muscles and joints. Gua sha aims to move this blocked energy to relieve aches or stiffness.

Our choice of Black Obsidian stone

Black Obsidian is known as the 'Truth Stone" and is said to purge negative thoughts and emotions. 

Regular use of the Gua Sha may improve skin smoothness and texture. Black Obsidian is forged from the force of hot volcanic lava submerged in the sea. A solid smooth black stone is said to be a type of volcanic glass.

This ancient technique has experienced a revival as an amazingly effective Facial  & Body sculpting method to improve the appearance and texture of the skin.

*We recommend using one of our oil-based serums to begin with, or our cleansing oil. This will aid absorption and enhance the effects of your serum or oil.

Note: Expect natural variations in the stones. Each Gua Sha will be unique in colour and pattern. The smoothness of the edges is the primary function of the Gua Sha we inspect each stone to ensure the edge is not rough or sharp. It is normal for natural indentations to be present which are characteristic of natural crystal stone and do not adversely affect its use or performance.

Key tips to make the most of your practice:

+ We suggest sweeping each area at a minimum three times. For a longer practice, sweep up to 10 times.

+ Keep your tool almost flat to your skin (about 15 degrees) rather than having the edge of the tool at 90 degrees to your skin.

+ When your tool starts to drag or pull on your skin, add a little more oil for better slip.

+ Have fun experimenting with which side and shape of the tool best fits with your face.
