Looking to elevate your self-care routine? These facial massage tools have been used in Chinese beauty rituals since ancient times and are the perfect addition to help increase circulation, release muscle tension, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, decrease inflammation, and help deeper absorption of products into the skin.

Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). According to the principles of TCM, your qi (pronounced “chi”), or energy, must flow throughout your body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant in certain areas, it’s believed that health problems can occur. With gua sha, a practitioner (an acupuncturist in many cases) will use a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where there is inflammation or stagnant qi to help improve circulation and promote healing. Stage 1: At first, I broke out a little bit. I wanted to know more about gua sha before following in the footsteps of beauty influencers, so I turned to a practitioner. According to Yeo Wei Ling Tricia, a physician at Kin Teck Tong, a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Singapore, there are two main types of gua sha: one for the body and one for the face.

Lymphatic drainage also benefits the skin by eliminating toxins, fluid buildup, and puffiness. "Gua Sha helps drive movement and circulation in the body to release stagnation," Gray explains. "Depending on the amount of pressure used with the gua aha tool, you can target different regions of the body. This is where the proper technique matters. We recommend a gentle gua sha scraping motion to help activate lymphatic drainage and movement of lymphatic fluids."
