Gua sha is an ancient technique that involves a smooth-edged tool used to promote lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and tone the skin. This tool also aids in collagen production, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. For optimal results, utilize in conjunction with our range of serums or mists.
Titanium Gua Sha
Preparation: Start with clean skin and apply a facial serum to provide lubrication for the gua sha tool.
Technique: Hold the gua sha tool at a 15- to 45-degree angle against your skin, and using gentle pressure, scrape the tool along specific areas of your face in upward and outward strokes. Common areas to target include the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Strokes: Use long, sweeping strokes rather than short, quick movements. You can vary the pressure depending on your comfort level, but be gentle to avoid causing irritation or bruising.
Focus on Pressure Points: Pay special attention to pressure points and areas of tension, such as around the eyebrows, temples, and jawline. You can also use the curved edge of the tool to gently massage acupressure points on the face.
Repeat: Repeat the process on each side of your face for a few minutes, focusing on areas where you want to improve circulation, reduce puffiness, or relieve tension.
Durability: Titanium is known for its exceptional strength and durability. A titanium gua sha is less likely to break or chip compared to a traditional stone gua sha, ensuring longevity and repeated use without the risk of damage.
Hygienic: Titanium is non-porous, meaning it's resistant to harbouring bacteria and easy to clean. This makes a titanium gua sha a more hygienic option compared to porous materials like jade or rose quartz, which can absorb oils and bacteria over time.
Hypoallergenic: Titanium is hypoallergenic and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
Temperature Control: Titanium has excellent thermal conductivity, allowing it to adjust to the skin's temperature quickly.
