"All about Gua sha."

       A lot of people are showing interest in Gua sha, it's been on trend for a couple of months. If you are the same as me, late on trends, this blog might be the one for you!😉 There's a roar in the beauty industry about Gua sha (pronounced as gwahshah), some people tried it and are educating the benefits received from them.

So here's what the tea is all about, let's keep it simple, the beauty product is a stone that is used to direct and massage the skin, which regulates the blood supply and addresses tension. Here, we are focusing on the facial aspect, but the stone is used on different body parts, including the back, neck, and shoulder. Professional experts or practitioners perform massage therapy to release and redirect the energy, as it should be carried under supervision. 

General:💬

The amount of pressure should be taken seriously. If pressure is applied more than usual or continuous directed massage is carried out for a long duration, it can hurt the skin and cause petechiae to develop. Petechiae are small dots of blood that accumulate on the skin when the blood supply has been ruptured. To prevent it, a specific time limit to use should be distributed. Experts suggest using the stone not more than 3-4 mins on the side utilized. There are different types of stone used for a specific purpose, so make sure to use the facial one(if that is what you are looking for!). To be on the safer side, ask your dermatologist if it will suit your skin, precautions to take and is it worth the hype.💆💜

Method:📃📌

• These stone should be used only after facial oil is applied to the face. 
• Never use the gua sha directly on the skin can cause a rash. 
• Always cleanse your face, then use facial oil so that the stone will glide freely on the skin surface. 
• Use it no more than 3-4 mins. 
• Always clean it after use so that there's no accumulation of bacteria( which causes breakouts).

Benefits:🔖

It helps prevent wrinkles, sagging of the skin, helps tone and maintains the skin's elasticity. The effect can be seen within a month📆if it is used frequently and proper facial oil is used.  Some people claim that it helps to achieve a bit of facial symmetry. I am not sure if the above-mentioned benefits are achieved👉💯, but might help gather a little positive effect.

Conclusion:🔒🔑🔓

So make sure you choose the right stone, use facial oil, massage in proper directions, apply a time limit on specific area and note results.
