Black Obsidian - Gua Sha

Experience the ancient practice of gua sha, a technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine for millennia. This therapeutic method enhances lymphatic fluid movement, releases fascia, and alleviates muscle tension, especially around the jawline. The result is improved skin tone, reduced puffiness, fine lines, and enhanced blood circulation.

Our gua sha tool is crafted from 100% pure Black Obsidian, a naturally warm volcanic stone. Ideal for congested and blemish-prone skin, the obsidian's warmth promotes lymphatic stimulation and circulation. This not only aids in drawing out daily negativity like stress and anger but also helps you feel more grounded and connected.

Incorporate our Black Obsidian gua sha tool into your skincare routine for a sculpted and contoured face. Regular use aids in deeper serum penetration, maximising their effectiveness for a radiant complexion.

1. Start with a clean face and prep skin with your face serum.
2. Follow the Diagram. 
   
3. Keep your Gua Sha against your face and begin with the forehead. Scrape in an upward motion from the eyebrows to the hairline.
4. Move to the cheeks and scrape in an outwards motion starting from the crease of the nose until the ear.
5. Move to the jawline and use the end of the Gua Sha with the V indent. Start from the chin and scrape until the ear. Gently massage the Gua Sha into the ear to release tension.
6. Move the Gua Sha in an upward motion on the centre of the neck to relieve sag and in a downward motion on the sides to relieve muscle tension and assist lymphatic drainage.
7. For the under-eye area, very gently scrape the Gua Sha from the inner corner of the eye outwards to the temple. Because the area is so sensitive, it is important to only apply light pressure.
8. It’s best to anchor the skin where you begin each stroke using your other hand.

Repeat each step above 3-5x and do this facial 2-3 times a week. It is important to go in an upward, outward direction only and press lightly by gliding over your face serum.

Each of these movements massages the lymphatic system, encouraging stagnant toxins to flush, to prevent the appearance of breakout.

 Do not use the Black Obsidian Gua Sha if: 

• You have just received injected fillers or Botox
• Over cystic acne, pimples and open lesions, as it will only irritate infected areas
