Gua Sha’s Extraordinary “Comeback” to the Modern World

Dec 11

If you have been an avid follower of the beauty industry, then you might have already heard of the term “Gua Sha.” Although, what do we know about this beauty trend and technique?

Thanks to multiple celebrities like Emilia Clarke, Jennifer Aniston, and Miranda Kerr, Gua Sha have recently made an extraordinary comeback to the modern world. Yes, we said “comeback” since this beauty technique has been around for centuries.

As the Gua Sha makes its way through Scottsdale and Phoenix, our team of estheticians at Aloe Beauty Spa will let you in on everything you need to know about this ancient beauty trend.

The Origins of Gua Sha

Gua Sha has been around for centuries, and this beauty technique originated in China. This is a practice that’s focused on healing our bodies of inflammation and alleviating muscle pains.

This treatment uses either a rose quartz stone or a jade stone which enhances our tissue drainage and it also eases our stiff muscles. Most people use Gua Sha in an upward motion all across their skin to get the best results.

Back in the olden days, Gua Sha was harsher and more painful because this wasn’t always used as a “beauty” technique. Although our modern use of Gua Sha is much smoother and gentler on the skin, and this is why more and more people are getting hooked.

Here at Aloe Beauty Spa in Scottsdale, we offer countless facials and our clients have the option to add in Gua Sha. We’re proud to say that we’re one of the first facial spas in Scottsdale to do this in the area, and our doors are always open should you want to try it.

Adding Gua Sha to Your Everyday Skincare Routine

Nowadays, adding Gua Sha to our everyday skincare routine is very much possible. You can purchase a rose quartz stone or a jade stone to maximize your skin’s full potential.

Plus, there are benefits to this beauty technique (which we will reveal later on) that can’t be achieved by other skincare trends. This is probably why Gua Sha has resurfaced after hundreds of years, and this is why it’s probably here to stay.

Although it’s best to keep in mind that this is a beauty technique that should be done according to your facial type and it’s not something you can just do because it’s “in” right now.

So once you go into our beauty spa, you can ask our licensed estheticians about Gua Sha and we would be more than happy to let you in on some of our “beauty secrets.”

If you aren’t based in Scottsdale but still want to know about Gua Sha, you can reach out to us and we would be more than happy to explain this technique to you – that’s a guarantee.
