The direct roots of facial Gua Sha are unknown, as traditional Gua Sha does not differentiate between the body and the face.
Implementing similar methods to the practice performed on the body, facial Gua Sha is used to promote circulation, lymphatic drainage and cellular regeneration, improve skin elasticity and quality, whilst sculpting and toning the face, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Facial Gua Sha is a much more gentle practice, as there is less tissue in the face, requiring less pressure to promote the circulation of lymphatic fluid. Rather than a ‘scraping’ action, think of it as more of a gentle massage, involving methodical strokes that promote regeneration and healing.
