Gua Sha in Traditional Chinese Medicine has been around for centuries used by the "Barefoot Doctors" of China and today by modern Acupuncturists, but facial Gua Sha is a bit different, and there is not much info out there yet.
Facial Gua Sha for Facial rejuvenation you want to use a special Jade Gua Sha tool like This.
You can use any oil or cream you like, I LOVE to use Ginger Chi facial Serum or Hanae Hydrating Pearl dew Hydrating oil a line formulated by a retired Acupuncturist, a very nice Anti-aging line. Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in either one of this lines but they are awesome and I want to share the "Awesomeness"!
Here is a YouTube of a woman trying the Ginger Chi Gua Sha kit.
Do each area 8-10 until a pink shows. You do NOT want a rash to show! 8-10 and move to the next area. If you do this each night as part of your ritual (or morning) you can throw out all the high priced expensive crap on your shelves! After doing this for a month I sold my Tria laser!
I(instructions from Ginger Chi)
(and you will miss out on Amazing Facial Rejuvenation and health benefits!)
OH YES IT DOES, but you have to do it right! If you like finish with the Jade roller on the face to sooth and cool the skin and close pores. You will feel very refreshed! (Keep in fridge for quick pick me ups or puffy eyes from allergies etc)
Keep your Gua Sha tool in the refrigerator along with the Jade roller if you like, the cold won't hurt the Jade and the Chinese attribute special "beauty" enhancing powers to the Jade stone itself. I know it sure feels nice and rejuvenating right out of the fridge!

Some Acupuncturists on the web have ACTUALLY admitted that Facial Gua Sha can replace Facial Acupuncture! Facial acupuncture is really expensive. I've never had it (Even though my Son is a Acupuncturist) but I can believe that this Gua Sha can do that. I've seen Amazing results.
My skin care is basically the Ginger Chi + Gua Sha + Facial Serum either Hanae-Silk plum refining serum
Or Skin Actives Firming Collegen serum (Awesome buy at $17.95 with peptides & collegen!)
I alternate because Hanae's Serum somewhat expensive, but it is so great, I want to keep using so I alternate them. Both have peptides in there. I also use the Ginger Chi Face Purifying oil cleanser at night
That is Basically it.
Hanae did have a sample kit for $12 and then you get the $12 back off a product (How I bought the Refining serum) new customer, I don't know if she still has that...?
She has has lots of info on her site including how to use the Jade roller which I also sell on my Crystalwolflady's Witchy Emporium
She is a very wonderful woman who if you have questions you can email her. I really love her line! Love it! She has put a lot of care and love into her products, I hope you can try them.
Ginger Chi has a face care sampler, that you can't go wrong with. Everything I've tried from this line is excellent. I can't LIVE without her Ginger Chi Serum! I highly recommend when you go to the Ginger Chi site
You buy the bigger size because you DON't want to run out, EVER! Seriously I'm addicted to her line! So refreshing!a
I keep my Jade roller in the refrigerator. Hanae has a DIY about the jade roller & Gua Sha, you can use for puffy face or eyes or just to roll on the meridians of the face. Its a great tool to have. Both these lines are "Exceptional"!
So if you are a Woman of a "Certain age" or just want to jump start taking care of you skin with out dangerous Botox or fillers and who knows what they will think up, Buy a Gua Sha TOOL HERE,
Or at Ginger Chi or Hanae! Just do it! You won't be sorry!
Visit Ginger Chi
And pick up a bottle of the Regenerating Serum, get the biggest you can afford! You will cry if you run out, NOT KIDDING! Seriously I make my own facial oil, have for YEARS, but I HAVE to have her Serum/oil for my Facial Gua Sha!! Bottom line! A must have! I also love the Purifying oil cleanser, I can't say enough GREAT things about this line! Fantastic!
SO get your favorite skin oil or cream (Or Ginger Chi's serum or Hanae oil) and GUA SHA! I will be happy to hear your amazing results in a few weeks!
Also in a few weeks I will share advanced treatment techniques for those stubborn "11's" and lines across the bridge of the nose and crows feet and down the nose/mouth area. First you need to get the basics, down!
Also you should steam your face with a warm towel to open the pores a few times a week to help the skin detox. (If you use Ginger Chi'sPruifying oil cleanser this is explained)
Use the cold Jade roller to close the pores afterwards. Or (Warm towel)steam and use a facial mask of your choosing.
This facial rejuvenation is pretty new and your esthetician probably hasn't heard of it yet. Its very cutting edge!
It is going to be a "Thing" because its Natural Facial rejuvenation, without expensive creams, filler, botox, lasers.
That's not to say if you have bad rosecea or dark spots you maybe should consider a course of laser treatment first. Then do the Gua Sha. But for me, I sold my expensive Tria laser because this Gua Sha Facial rejuvenation is THAT AWESOME!
So trying the Amazing Facial Rejuvenation technique that SOON everyone will be talking about (except med spas) a safe and inexpensive Healthy Facial rejuvenation & anti-aging technique that anyone can learn!
Try it for 3 week using this instruction and see how it goes.... what do you have to lose?Sagging bagging wrinkled skin transformed in smooth pore-less healthy skin!
Happy Gua Shaing!

Oh can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteIts REALLY AWESOME! So amazing and so simple! No need for expensive creams or lotions. Just a gua sha tool and your facial oil or cream. I do like the Ginger Chi she calls it "serum" but its a oil. But you can use what ever you like as long as you do it like the pic above. Everyday.
ReplyDeleteAnd exfoliate. You can make a simple sugar-oil add Essential oils as a scrub for exfoliation.
It has evened out my skin the texture is better and pores smaller and still cleaning and detoxing itself. I use a warm towel daily. Can't wait to hear your results.
