Top Benefits of Adding Gua Sha to Your Facials

Nov 27

Gua Sha has been around for centuries, but it was only recently that it became so popular in the United States, probably thanks to trendsetters like Kendall Jenner and Gwyneth Paltrow.

In recent years, we have seen countless influencers and beauty experts talk about how they love this beauty technique or how amazing its benefits are. Although, what is Gua Sha, and what is the science behind this trend?

Here at Aloe Beauty Spa, we offer Gua Sha alongside our facials, and we take pride in the fact that we’re the first beauty spa in Scottsdale to do so.

In this article, we’re going to share the top benefits of adding Gua Sha to your facial of choice.

Understanding This Ancient Beauty Trend

Before influencers discovered Gua Sha, this was a part of the so-called “Traditional Chinese Medicine” and it has existed for thousands of years. Some say that this dated back to the warring states dynasty period from 475 to 221 BCE – woah, right?

Gua Sha can be used for both our face and body, though the latter has been used for much longer. It’s also best to keep in mind that when used on the face, Gua Sha is gentler and softer since it might leave a bit of redness or bruises when used too hard.

If you’re keen on knowing more about Gua Sha or if you’re interested in using this tool at home, you can ask our experts at Aloe Beauty Spa for more information. We’re more than happy to share our secrets with you so you can take your spa experience home.

What Are the Benefits of Adding Gua Sha to Aloe Beauty Spa Facials?

All of the facial treatments we offer at Aloe Beauty Spa can be obtained with a Gua Sha. As we’ve previously mentioned, we’re one of the first facial spas in Scottsdale to offer this, and this is something that we’re proud of.

Here are some of the benefits of Gua Sha at Aloe Beauty Spa:

It can break up the energy stagnation in your sub-dermal fascia and can promote healing.
It can reduce the puffiness, toxins, and inflammation in your skin by dispelling excess lymph fluids and even aiding your lymphatic flow.
It can relieve sinus pressure and can help with bruxism (teeth grinding).
It can balance your yin and yang energy and sweep away any negative energy you might be holding on to.
It can relieve headaches, neck pain, and even migraines.
It can create a more sculptured feature and ease your wrinkles.
It can enhance your skin radiance by promoting collagen production and stimulating blood flow to the epidermis.

It might not seem much at first glance, but Gua Sha is a beauty technique that we should be taking advantage of – that’s for sure.
