Ancient Beauty Rituals Return!

Over the past ten years, I have had a unique opportunity to travel and study in Macau and China, learning some fantastic practices such as Wu Tai Chi, healing massage techniques, and most recently mastering the art of ancient beauty rituals.

The amazing effects of the Crystal Gua Sha tool is incredible. Not only do celebrities today, swear by their age defying powers, I also have to say these crystal tools actually do work.

Used for thousands of years by the elite women of ancient Chinese dynasties, Gua Sha is a tool made from crystal (usually rose quartz or jade) The tool hugs the curves of your face and neck to increase blood circulation, refining and smoothing your skin, as well as stimulating a variety of acupressure points. Designed to stimulate your skin cells and transform your complexion, the gentle stroking action of this trusted tool increases blood circulation to refine, tone and smooth skin. Maintaining a cool temperature, it also refreshes skin and helps to close pores for a more even appearance. As well as this, it can reduce sagging, blotches and bags and lines around the eyes, quickly revitalising skin. Gua Sha is traditionally used to reduce signs of ageing, helping you stay looking younger, for longer.

Why should you try a Gua Sha treatment?

1. Stimulates the immune system: One of the most promising benefits of Gua Sha is its effect on the immune system. When this treatment is performed, the immune system is activated, allowing the body to speed up its natural healing process. In Asian culture, Gua Sha is often used in the case of illness to “let the sickness escape.

2. Reduces pain: Gua sha therapy is anti-inflammatory, which can help dramatically reduce myalgia, which makes it great for treating chronic pain. Studies have also shown that it “has a therapeutic impact in inflammatory conditions, such as active chronic hepatitis, where liver inflammation indicates organ breakdown that over time can lead to premature death. No matter your condition, a Gua Sha treatment can help soothe your muscles.

3. Needle-free: Gua Sha offers relief similar to acupuncture, but it is less invasive, making it more appealing to those not interested in needles. This makes the practice common among all ages, including children.

4. Anti-aging: In addition to the wonderful therapeutic benefits Gua Sha offers, it can also be an effective addition to your beauty routine. A much gentler routine, a Gua Sha facial can help:

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

• Tighten skin

• Decrease puffiness under the eyes

• Plump skin to give it a youthful glow

Now that we’ve discussed the various Gua Sha benefits, you can discuss your treatment options with me, your massage and holistic beauty therapist to see how this ancient practice can benefit you! I will take the time to understand your unique conditions and can help determine if Gua Sha is right for you. It can be a great add-on to a beauty treatment found in Divine Spa Bodyworks.
