Spring is the season of renewal and the perfect time to refresh and reboot your skin. Beauty industry experts across the globe have long been heralding the power of using beauty tools, and this spring is the perfect time to add a new component into your routine. More than just hype, tools such as the Gua Sha, originating from traditional Chinese medicine, deliver visible results. Translated from the Chinese for ‘scraping’, the gua sha tool is designed to be pressed on the face in gentle, upward strokes to increase blood flow and stimulate the lymphatic system helping to lift, tone and rejuvenate the skin. Gua Sha is an ancient beauty therapy best known for its ability to breathe new life into the skin for an instant refresh.
Pioneers in organic beauty, Green People, introduces two new skin-reviving gua sha facial massage tools; the Jade Gua Sha and the Black Obsidian Gua Sha. The perfect partner for any of Green People’s organic facial serums or facial oils, the Gua Sha is an effective and inexpensive home facial technique suitable for all skin types including those who suffer from sensitivities. Incorporating this clever facial tool into your beauty regime offers endless skincare perks including relieving facial tension, puffiness and congestion as well as enhancing the absorption of your serum, oil or moisturiser.
The Jade Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool, £12.50, is naturally cool to the touch, making it ideal for generating heat to the face. It is said to have a qi energy similar to the human body and is ideal for contouring and lifting the skin. The Black Obsidian Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool, £15, is crafted from warming, natural volcanic stone and revives skin, while relieving facial tension, puffiness and congestion. Black Obsidian, a crystal formed from rapidly cooled lava, is tied to our root chakra and is believed to draw our negative energy and stress, leaving us feeling calmer and more grounded.
