Before we discuss the timing of Gua Sha, let’s first understand its technique. Gua Sha involves gently scraping a flat jade or rose quartz tool across the skin to stimulate circulation and promote lymphatic drainage. This practice can help relieve tension, reduce puffiness, and enhance the skin’s natural glow.

It promotes -lymphatic drainage, -reduces puffiness and fluid buildup, -relieves facial and jaw tension, and -aids circulation, giving the skin a glow. Over time, it also firms and lifts the face.
