Gua Sha : Face Magic (No Needles!)
There are a lot of different oils out there that can be used for gua sha, but some are better than others.
In this blog post, we'll take a look at the best oil for gua sha and why it's the best.
What Is Gua Sha?
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that involves scraping the skin with a smooth, blunt object. This is traditionally done with a coin, but other objects can be used as well (here's my favorite!).
Gua sha is said to improve circulation and help to relieve pain.When using oil for gua sha, it's important to use a light touch as too much pressure can cause bruising and pain.
The goal is to stimulate circulation and not to hurt. If you're new to gua sha, it's best to start with a light oil and increase the pressure gradually. Once you're more experienced, you can experiment with different oils and different levels of pressure.
Here's a quick video showing an easy way to get started using the gua sha on your face!
What Kind of Oil?
The best oil for gua sha is a light oil that will not clog pores. Many people prefer to use coconut oil, but other light oils such as jojoba oil or grapeseed oil can also be used.
There are many different oils that can be used for gua sha, but some are better than others. For example, olive oil is a great option because it is nourishing and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Other good choices include almond oil, jojoba oil, and grapeseed oil. Each oil has different benefits, so it's important to choose one that will address your specific needs. For example, if you're dealing with acne, you might want to use an oil that has anti-bacterial properties.
If you have dry skin, you might want to use an oil that is more nourishing. Gua sha is an incredibly beneficial treatment, and using the right oil can make it even more effective.
Do some research to figure out which oil is right for you, and get ready to enjoy the amazing benefits of gua sha!
