Jade Gua Sha

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

• Will this tool help alleviate sinus pressure?

  Probably! Gua Sha massage helps lymphatic drainage, which in turn, alleviates that pressure you’re feeling in your sinuses. Make sure you use your gua sha gentle, though, if you’re already experiencing sinus discomfort. Always check with your doctor if discomfort is continuing. 

• Is this real/genuine jade stone?

  Our Jade Gua Sha is made from 100% Aventurine Jade from Brazil. Every stone is unique, so you might notice your gua sha’s coloring is slightly different from the ones featured on our website. That’s normal! This natural stone ranges in color from dark to light jade green and features beautiful marbling and speckles.

• When should I use my jade or rose quartz roller versus the gua sha tool?

   

  We like to think of the gua sha as primarily a massage and sculpting tool while rollers primarily serve at reducing puffiness and pressing product into skin. However, you’re right to suggest there’s quite a bit of overlap between the two!

  Grab your gua sha for promoting lymphatic drainage, contouring, and relaxing tense jaw and neck muscles. Switch to a jade roller for soothing and depuffing skin, smoothing lines and wrinkles, and applying facial oils and serums.

• When should I use this?

  You can use your gua sha whenever you like! We prefer to use ours before bedtime on a freshly washed face, since it helps destress and relax tense muscles. Many people love their gua sha for stimulating their immune system when they’re feeling a bit under the weather.

• How do I use this?

  Using your gua sha is so simple.

  1. First, prep your face with a cleanser to wash away the day’s (or night’s) dirt and bacteria.
  2. Next, apply your favorite facial oil or moisturizer to your face.  Reapply oil as needed throughout the massage.
  3. Take your Gua Sha and start at the base of your neck and using a light scraping motion, work your way up to your jawline.
  4. Scrape up, towards your forehead, going over your jawline, chin, and mouth.
  5. Scrape across your checks and press under the eyes and across your eyebrows.
  6. Finish up with more upward scrapes on the forehead up to the hairline.
• What are the benefits of using gua sha on my face?

  There are so many! Gua Shas relax tense muscles, reduce puffiness, promote lymphatic drainage, can ease headaches and muscle pain, and promote smoother, younger-looking skin. The Jade Gua Sha’s stone is naturally cool to the touch and can help soothe puffiness.

• Is it safe?

  Gua Shas are safe massage therapy tools but it’s always a good idea to contact your doctor if you have specific medical questions. You might want to consider refraining from a gua sha if you’ve recently had surgery, take blood thinners, or are prone to blood clots. Remember, never use a gua sha on open wounds or infections.
