FORMULATION OVERVIEW: Gua Sha Facial Oil

Gua sha is a traditional East Asian healing tool and technique which has been used for thousands of years. In recent times, gua sha has been adapted to be used as a facial treatment and that is the focus of this class.

The gua sha is a smooth edged quartz or jade crystal tool which is used to swipe across the skin in an upwards motion. A variety of benefits are believed to come from using this ancient tool on the face, including:

• Improved blood flow which can reduce the amount of toxins in the body.
• Improved circulation.
• Relieved muscle tension.
• Reduced inflammation.
• Lymphatic drainage.

In this class, you will learn

• What is gua sha?
• The history of gua sha.
• Why use gua sha?

We will share a Gua Sha Facial Oil formulation that has been formulated especially for use with the gua sha tool. We have used a blend of quick, medium and slow emollients to create an oil that provides enough slip to allow the tool to glide easily over the skin, has a medium absorption rate and a soft after-feel.
