Facial Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese self-massage technique that is thousands of years old.

Chinese wisdom holds that skin conditions such as spots, ageing, eczema and psoriasis, are primarily caused by the stagnation of energy and blood flow and excess heat in the body.

Chronic stress and our modern lifestyles are the main contributors in creating this stagnation. The aim of Gua Sha is to clear any stagnation and heat so that there is a free flow of circulation which will result in a radiant and glowing skin.

These sessions are going to change the way you look at health and beauty forever. You will experience the life-changing effects of Gua Sha and discover the endless benefits of these ancient Chinese self-care techniques.

Gua Sha tools and techniques are so powerful that in as little as one-minute a day you can help to relieve your stress levels, increase circulation and lymphatic drainage, improve mood, energy levels, vitality and sleep, and of course, restore your skin. More than ever, we need a combined, simple but thorough approach to mastering our health physically, emotionally and energetically.

The benefits of Gua Sha are:

  • Increased microcirculation by 400%

  • Floods skin with nutrients

  • Removes toxins through the lymphatic system

  • Improves levels of collagen and elastin

  • Improves muscle tone

  • Reduces puffiness and congestion

  • Releases tension

  • Relaxing deep facial massage

  • Instant results and long-term benefits

Facial Gua Sha is where the health of our body and skin, both inside and out, begins, and is the foundation to feeling amazing and having beautiful glowing skin. Facial Gua Sha also addresses the body through the acupressure points in the face. You will learn the extraordinary benefits that this ancient Chinese medicine system has on your skin, your health and your emotional wellbeing.
