An effective way to combat wrinkles that you can do yourself \u2013 that would be something. If you could see the results straight away after the treatment, that would be even better! Gua Sha on the face can do just that. This centuries-old method from Traditional Chinese Medicine delivers results in a way that no cream, however expensive, can match. It makes sense to tackle facial ageing holistically, rather than filling in individual wrinkles with injections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Gua Sha?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gua Sha \u2013 which means \u2018scraping\u2019 in German \u2013 is an ancient massage technique in which oiled skin is repeatedly scraped with a rounded object (a porcelain spoon, coin, or a scraper made of horn or jade). It is mainly used on the back and muscles to detoxify the tissue. On the face, however, the technique is much gentler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gua Sha on the face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the face, scraping is carried out very gently, just strongly enough to reach the deeper connective tissue. The result should be well-circulated, rosy skin. How long this takes and how firmly you need to scrape varies from person to person. A lack of energy in certain areas is often indicated by the redness fading quickly \u2013 in those places, you can safely give it a bit more attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often should you scrape, and when is the best time to do so?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best time to perform Gua Sha is in the evening. Gua Sha stimulates the facial fasciae, causing the tissue to work at full capacity afterwards. As you open the \u201eenergy gates\u201c, the skin is particularly able to absorb skincare ingredients, but it is also more sensitive to wind or sun. Two to three sessions a week are ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can expect these effects from Gua Sha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your complexion will become more radiant and even-toned. Deep wrinkles are softened, whilst fine lines and puffiness often disappear completely. Gua Sha is an effective treatment for bags under the eyes. In the long term, your skin will become less problematic as it is better able to retain moisture. Regular use of Gua Sha keeps tissues and blood vessels healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does Gua Sha do for the skin on your face?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gua Sha smooths out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the treatment, the skin looks as smooth as if it had been ironed. This is easy to see if you first scrape just one half of the face and compare the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stimulates lymph flow & detoxifies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The massage helps the lymphatic system to flush out waste products, which reduces swelling. It opens the \u201eenergy gates\u201c to allow for deeper detoxification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relieves tension in the fascia and releases stiffness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gua Sha relieves muscle tension, particularly in the jaw area (stress muscles). This prevents you from unconsciously furrowing your brow or pursing your lips, which helps to prevent new wrinkles from forming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Gua<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Apply Gua Sha yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a high-quality oil. The scraper should glide across the skin at a 30-degree angle. An important rule of thumb: always scrape from the centre of the face outwards. To master this technique with confidence, I recommend my online course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neck is part of it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always start at the neck! If you stimulate lymph flow in the face whilst there is a build-up in the neck, you\u2019ll only irritate the tissue unnecessarily. First ensure that lymph can drain freely from the neck area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common mistakes in free tutorials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. The neck is excluded (risk of lymphatic congestion).<\/li>\n
  2. Rub back and forth (on the face, please only in one direction!).<\/li>\n
  3. Too short a section of the scraper is being used (resulting in streaks rather than a smooth finish).<\/li>\n
  4. The skin is \u201epushed\u201c rather than \u201edragging the scraper behind\u201c.<\/li>\n
  5. The skin is pushed together, forming new creases during the massage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Integrate the neck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can rub the back of your neck more vigorously (at a 90-degree angle). Rub from top to bottom, parallel to the spine. This helps with tension, headaches and colds. Cover the back of your neck with something warm afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
