Gua Sha

DE-PUFF & FIRM 

Gua Sha was said to have been used for healing purposes in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This ancient skincare ritual helps stimulate the lymphatic system and increases blood flow to the face. It helps alleviate muscular tension in the face and neck, and any stress held in the forehead, whilst helping to tone and tighten.

Pair with any of our serums or oils to help distribute the product evenly on face & neck, and enhance the product’s absorption.
