Gua Sha massage roller and stone, enhances the absorption of skin care products - Saaren Taika Ecolution

With the Gua Sha self-treatment method, your skin will become smoother and firmer, as the treatment causes your skin to sit more beautifully on your facial bones.

This will make your facial features, especially your jawline and cheekbones, stand out more clearly.

Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese medicine skin care method that stimulates blood circulation by manipulating the skin's surface.

Gua Sha massage helps, among other things, to remove toxins and reduce swelling, and promotes better absorption of nutrients in skin care products.

Gua sha massage relaxes your facial muscles and tension and helps improve microcirculation.

As blood circulation improves, waste products flow out of your tissues, reducing facial puffiness and brightening dull skin. It releases tension and blockages in your fascia (muscle membrane).

Your emotional state affects the facial muscles and fascia, causing the formation of so-called "expression wrinkles" on the face, for example. Tension in the masticatory muscles, on the other hand, can easily cause swelling, for example.

Gua sha massage stimulates the activity of skin fibroblasts, which are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen keeps skin tissues flexible, renewing and functional.

A person's natural collagen production starts to slow down around the age of 25, and it is now recommended to start using anti-aging products at that age. The massage also removes puffiness from your face and around your eyes. This is usually the most sought-after effect of gua sha and the reason why many people want to include gua sha in their skincare routine.

Gua sha can also reduce pigment spots and impurities.

Gua sha is not recommended if your skin is damaged or inflamed, as the method may increase inflammation in different parts of your skin. If you have rosacea, acne, or atopic dermatitis, inflamed skin should not be treated, but you can still use gua sha on other areas of your skin. For example, treating the neck area is beneficial for people with rosacea and acne.

When treating any skin problem, it is especially important to treat them from below. If your skin problem is concentrated in the cheeks and chin area, it is important to treat the neck, nape and décolleté. The neck and décolleté are the so-called gateway to the face, as they connect the rest of the body and the face.

Do not rub directly on swollen skin areas, such as under the eyes.
If you have had fillers or other injectable treatments in the last three months, gua sha is not recommended. Gua sha can affect the fascia, where the pressure it creates can move the subcutaneous fillers to the wrong places.

If you have a blood clot, a bulging artery or arteriosclerosis, gua sha is unfortunately not suitable for you. Diseases or medications related to blood clotting also prevent you from practicing gua sha, as does active cancer. It is also worth skipping gua sha if you have the flu and continuing when you are healthy again!

How to use a Gua Sha stone

Usage: Gua sha is a great tool to use when you have more time and want to give your face a deep massage. We recommend using the stone 2-3 times a week. The stone is shaped so that you can easily use it on different parts of your face, such as your chin or cheekbones.

It can also be used on the body.

Cleanse your face and apply serum, facial oil, mask or cream to your face. Place the narrow edge of the stone tightly on your face. If you wish, you can tighten the skin on your face, which will make the stone move more easily. Start massaging your face with strokes from the bottom up, from the center of the face away from the face. Do not pull the stone back and forth, but start from the beginning after each stroke. Follow the massage directions on the package. You can use the Gua Sha roller, or jade roller, daily, for example in the morning and evening.

Tip: Put the Gua Sha roller, or jade roller, in the refrigerator 15-30 minutes before rolling and you will get a cooling effect that effectively reduces swelling during your rolling!

Gua Sha stone cleansing

Always keep your Gua Sha stone clean, as you don't want to carry dirt and impurities with the stone to your skin when you massage it.

Wash your Gua Sha stone or roller after use with 100% natural Saaren Taika Cleaning Soap , which effectively removes grease and bacteria, but does not leave skin-irritating residues on your Gua Sha stone. Follow the same instructions for using the roller as for the gua sha stone.

The best way to clean a Gua Sha stone is to place it in a container with warm soapy water immediately after use. Hold Saaren Taika cleaning soap under running water, drain the soapy water into a container and place the Gua Sha stone in the water.

Gently massage the Gua Sha stone with your hands in the water, allowing bacteria, impurities and oil from the skin to dissolve into the water.

Rinse the stone with clean water in a container. Using a container will prevent the slippery stone from falling and possibly breaking.
