Gua-Sha

Gua-sha is a well-known therapeutic tool that has been used by Chinese medicine for thousands of years and was even a precursor to the creation of acupuncture.

Over time, it gained more shapes and styles, suitable for various functions and parts of our body. Aegisderma, therefore, decided to invest in this instrument and in this ancient natural practice, as it is full of benefits for our health and well-being.

In its definition we have:

Gua - Means to scrape, to rub.

Sha - Means healing, causing redness.

Aegisderma chose a Gua-sha made with the incredible Bian stone and developed a format for its tips to be practical and precise to work on pressure and decompression points on our face and neck.

Thus, when using slides in the right directions, favoring an increase in our blood circulation, the impact is powerful. Mainly contributing to cell renewal, to the oxygenation of our cells, allowing more nutrients to be absorbed by the skin, as they are needed to improve the weather aspects caused by toxins and facial expressions. We know that our face is responsible for transmitting our emotions, such as happiness, anger, sadness, doubts, in short... it is as if our face were the mirror that marks and reflects everything we feel.

Gua-sha does not replace an invasive procedure and it is not our intention here, because what we aim for is to instigate a moment of self-care with yourself and self-love, after all we deserve it. It also has a significant point of use when we have muscle aches and even headaches, as we have already tested it and had very positive results.

It helps with lymphatic drainage of the face, aiding in the elimination of toxins and promoting a clean flow of lymph to our circulatory system.

It helps refining fine lines of expressions. And it is very effective for dark circles and bags under the eyes and eyelids. It helps in toning the natural contours of the face.

With used in correct movements, we can even break the fascia that is responsible for the tensions in our muscles, relieving tensions.

Correct use can bring us a more youthful appearance and a glowing, healthy skin.

Its use is contraindicated in parts of the skin affected by skin infections such as acne, dermatitis, or any other skin diseases.

A very important tip is that gua-sha can also be used cold (since it is made of stone) in the eye areas, as it causes vasoconstriction, helping the oxygenation of this region.

In short, it is a practical instrument, full of benefits and that can be carried in your purse and used at any time of your day.

You will feel the difference in your skincare and self-care routine with just 5 minutes and use to relax you and start your day with a touch of love.

To keep it clean, just wash it with water and soap or alcohol and that's it! It is now ready for the next use.
