Gua Sha: benefits and side effects

One of the trendiest beauty tools you‍‍`ve seen your favourite beauty influencer use in recent times is Gua sha.

A flat, semi-precious stone-made tool called gua sha is used to massage the face. The words "gua" and "sha" both signify pressing and redness, respectively. According to the traditional Chinese method, pushing results in redness, which is a healing process. With the proper technique, regular use of the gua sha is claimed to give you tighter, more younger skin.

Benefits Of Gua Sha

1. Reduces face acne

By enhancing circulation, the gua sha face tool decreases inflammation, flare-ups, and acne size. To prevent allergies, make sure your tool is completely sanitized before and after use.

2. Reduces acne scars

 

With consistent usage of gua sha, not just acne but all the scars left behind after difficult acne can also fade with time. The face tool‍‍`s improved blood circulation brings blood to the skin‍‍`s surface, rejuvenating skin cells and lessening the visibility of acne scars.

3. Reduces wrinkles and fine lines

Gua sha helps to reduce the appearance of aging by loosening up the tight facial muscles and tissues.

Side effects of Gua Sha

 

1.  Wrinkling skin

Following a gua sha treatment, some people can experience a temporary wrinkling of their skin.

2.  Hygiene maintenance of the tool

Gua sha therapy also runs the danger of spreading bloodborne diseases if any bleeding happens, thus it‍‍`s critical for practitioners to clean their equipment between clients.
