Of course it works! I’ve been practicing and doing the Gua Sha for over 2 weeks and I can see a difference already in my skin (I’m 63) tone & firmness. You must be consistent. ❤️👍🏻
Do you use collagen powder? Im 64;and very interested in this,! I have never heard of thesenm in metal! I havent been able to decide on rose quartz or the jade. What d8 you think? I also brought up collagen powder as it is so good! I'd suggest you try that too. I make a smoothie daily!
@@angelaharris1112 👋🏻😊I have a rose quartz Gua Sha and it’s great. The stainless steel is great too. The stones Jade & quartz are porous (I didn’t know that when I bought mine. 😆) so they say that they can hold onto bacteria. I’m not worried about that. I wash mine after every use! 👍🏻I did used use collagen. I didn’t see a difference in my skin or nails. I switched to grass fed gelatin. And I do see a difference in my nails. It helps me with some muscle and joint pain. Takes the edge off! 😊👍🏻 Hope your regimen is working for you. 🙏🏻
@@PhillyGirl-pt3vq thanks. I would wash mine every use anyway. I just started on collagen again. I was in it before I came back to Texas and it made a big difference for me. But we are all different.
I've NEVER seen bruising in the face. As a matter of fact, you're NOT supposed to use heavy touch when doing it on the face. Nor do we EVER use a coin or metall object here in Taiwan. The only time we have blood surfacing is when we do it on the body, mainly the back.
What do you use? Those tools are available in so many forms now, from jade, rose quarz, stainles steel.... mine is obsidian, based on my limited I’ll admit knowledge I choosed it because Ibthought being vulcanic glass will be smoother than semi-precious stones usually used, and won’t harbour bacteria. My main worry with metal/steel is potemtial interaction with products and/or rusting, and yea Iknow they say STAINLESS etc but you never know what’s really there.... so i pretty much choosen mine based on hygienic preferences i suppose, but would love to know what you usually traditionally use.
If you’re bruising you’re applying way to much force. There should be redness that comes from increased blood flow but that should go away within minutes. Never perpendicular to the skin and ALWAYS use on oiled skin. Never on dry. There should be no tension. It should glide on the skin with little pressure.
There’s NEVER bruising in the face! Your supposed to use medium to light pressure the only thing is your face will be red for about ten minutes that’s it though
You are truly gullible if you think a celeb is gonna look like she's in her 20s with gua sha alone. That's like saying Jen Aniston looks good for her age because of Aveeno
you may be confusing/conflating body gua sha with the one for the face. they are different and body coining does produce bruising etc but never for face!
If you’re bruising you’re doing it wrong. The first time I tried a gun sha my face bruised but it’s because I was too heavy handed and didn’t do it right. Let’s stop limiting people from techniques that actually provide powerful solutions and start teaching people how to do it correctly.
Agree bruising isn’t common but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tell people of rare side effects. Personally I do it several times a week and have never gotten bruising 👍
It’s been a miracle for my TMJ and jaw clenching. I do 50% of the scraping on my neck particularly the sides and it’s made a complete difference when nothing else has
If you have bruising you are going too hard. That level of pressure is usually reserved for moving cold out the body and breaking up stagnation in the limbs. Always apply proper moisture to reduce harm to skin but if you have severe acne it’s best to heal that first.
It works if you know what you’re doing. The problem is most people don’t know what they’re doing 😅. A trained practitioner is best! If you want to try it at home, go GENTLE.
You shouldn’t notice any bruising if using your Gua sha correctly. As directed by Chinese medicine you shouldn’t be doing Gua sha to the point of causing any redness that last beyond the 10 minutes count. Certainly not to cause bruising
I can tell from my personal experience that gua sha is not for everyone. I am very thin although I don't show that much, but my scale tells so, and gua sha made my face look thinner accentuating my nasolabial folds. Perhaps also breaking down some soft tissue in the cheeks? Not sure. But I do not recommend it for body types like mine. I stopped using gua sha when I noticed the difference but I don't know if the damage is permanent or not.
Gua Sha has made more of a difference in my face than any other device that I have. I know it is not a 'device' but it does the same heavy lifting. I do it morning and night with aloe and glycerine as a slip in the am and rosehip as a slip at night.
You’re not supposed to “scrape” the face. It’s a light pulling as the gua sha tool is nearly flat to the face and gently dragged along the surface of the skin.. it’s never supposed to bruise.
Someone did this all over my back to help clear my chest infection. Did it twice, a week apart and brought it all out👍 Yes my back was all red and bruised but well worth it.
@@theophilusthe3rd I get both and also gua sha. It won’t affect filler or Botox. You’re not applying that much pressure to disturb any filler. Just stick to using ur gua sha say 2 times a week
At :26 she says that the down side is that it can decrease muscle soreness. I’m confused is that really a downside? In all seriousness I’m still learning and want to understand.
This practice has been around for centuries but it needs to be practiced correctly. Many people either don’t know how to do it or lean it from westerners who have no idea what they are doing. Just watch Kendall Jenners video and my point is made.
While the pressure from running it along your face would be effective as a massage, and the pressure would be beneficial for circulation, all the "electromagnetic waves magic" shit is not something to trust. If people are going to say "but its a traditional practice they must be right!", please remember this is the same practice from an era where people thought dragons existed.
Only dragon that exists is a siracha addict. They got grumbling stomachs and shoot fire out of ... well not their mouth but another exit for sure.@@GoldenKingdom-kp6dt
