The body’s own bouncer is the lymphatic system. It’s a portion of your immune system that helps to transfer healthy nutrients and white blood cells (infection fighters) throughout the body, as well as filtering waste materials like germs, proteins, and excess water through the lymph fluid. Because the lymphatic system lacks a built-in pump like the circulatory system, it relies on muscle activity, breathing, and gravity to transport these fluids from one part of the body to another. Lack of sleep, hormonal fluctuations, high blood pressure, and skin concerns like acne, eczema, and allergies can all impair this filtration system as you get older, leaving your complexion looking a little puffy.

The Gua Sha tool’s sweeping directed movements, together with the pressure applied as the tool is placed against the skin, may act as a missing pump, by using Gua Sha lymphatic drainage, to minimise puffy skin and under-eye bags.

Gua Sha body massage tools are often composed of jade, rose quartz, or other mineral-rich stone and come in a range of shapes, each customised to specific areas and techniques. A  broader foundation is appropriate for the curvature of the face, such as the cheekbones. Small curves are usually allocated for the brow bone and eye area, the v-shape for the jawline, and the jagged edge for fine lines and wrinkles.

As you gain skills and develop your repertoire, we recommend using a Gua Sha tool with a variety of choices so you may target different places.
