FAQ
What is gua sha?
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese therapy that uses a smooth stone to gently scrape the skin. It boosts circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and relieves muscle tension. Originally used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s now a popular method for achieving glowing, healthier skin.

Your support helps keep these traditions alive while empowering small, community-focused businesses like ours.
How do I use a gua sha?
To use a Gua Sha stone, start by applying a facial oil or serum to provide a smooth surface for the tool. Hold the stone at a 15-degree angle to your skin and use gentle, upward strokes along your face, neck, or body. Focus on areas of tension or puffiness, and always work in the direction of your lymphatic drainage, such as toward your ears or down your neck. This practice helps improve circulation, reduce swelling, and leave your skin looking refreshed and glowing.
Why choose stainless steel?
Stainless steel Gua Sha stones are an excellent alternative to traditional materials like jade or rose quartz. They are durable, rust-resistant, and non-porous, meaning they are less likely to harbor bacteria, making them ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Additionally, stainless steel retains temperature exceptionally well, so you can use it for cooling therapy to soothe puffiness or warm therapy to relax tense muscles.
How often should I use my gua sha?
For optimal results, use your Gua Sha stone 3–5 times a week. Regular use helps improve skin tone, reduce fine lines, and relieve muscle tension. However, you can adjust the frequency to suit your needs and schedule. Be gentle and consistent, as overusing or applying too much pressure can irritate the skin.
