WHAT’S GUA SHA?

Gua Sha is a chinese face scraping technique that promotes lymphatic drainage, which helps to eliminate bloating caused by interstitial fluid (fluid trapped under your skin that needs to be released to your lymph system). A Gua Sha stone is a little flat pebble of jade that chisels the pressed area.

WHEN TO USE IT?

You can incorporate gua sha into your skin care routine by doing it right after you cleanse your face in the morning or evening. Do not use it if you have an unhealed infection, tumor or wound; medical conditions affecting the skin or veins, bleed easily, take medication to thin blood, have deep vein trombosis or an implant.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Improves skin elasticity.

Plumper, smoother skin.

Reduces appearance of puffiness and fine lines.

Improves natural hydration.

Stimulates collagen production.

Increases blood circulation.

Breaks down toxins.

Headache relief.

Helps facial oils and moisturizers to absorb better

Firmer, more radiant skin.

Eases facial muscle tension.

Helps clear acne + hyperpigmentation.

Winter skincare routine 🦋

I'm so, so excited about my winter skincare routine! I need a lot of moisturizing right now; it's freezing, and there is terribly dry air in this part of Europe. Luckily, the Korean/Japanese skincare has helped so much. I even achieved the 'glass skin' look for the first time, which I initially thought would be impossible on my dry and problematic skin. The only downside is that it takes so long, but I've learned to enjoy those moments, really take my time with gua sha massages, and just ruminate over my day.

Morning:

Innisfree Green Tea & Amino Acid Moisturizing Foam Cleanser

COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream

Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream

Followed by makeup routine & La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50 spray

Evening:

Shiseido WASO Shikulime Gel-to-Oil Cleanser

Sisley Eau Efficace Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Face and Eye

COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner

COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (I've used this every evening for the last five years; nothing else has helped with my acne)

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream

Shiseido WASO Shikulime Mega Hydrating Moisturizer

Gua sha massages

Honestly, the Shiseido WASO doesn't get enough recognition; the line is so good!

I will give this routine a few more months to see if it has any blind spots, but so far, I'm very happy. And I can't praise the famous Innisfree jelly enough 🩵 I use the Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation, and it can be drying.

As I wrap up my skincare journey for the day, I'm reminded that taking care of my skin is like giving a little gift to myself every morning and evening. Here's to glowing skin and the joy of self-care! ✨

Step One: Cleansing + Hydrating

- Remove any makeup (i use micellar water)

- I cleanse my skin with the 'cosmic dew cleaser' and on days i start to break out i use the Cera Ve SA cleanser.

- I apply a snail mucin serum first and them i layer the 'holy hydration!' serum by E.L.F. on top.

Step Two: Moisturizer + Rose quartz roller

- I moisturize with my all time favorite Neutrogena 'hydro boost' water gel!

- On some nights i do like to ice my face so i do that before that. i put my rose quartz roller in the freezer and it help a lot with de-puffing!

Do's and Don'ts :

- Dont slug for the love of god. I know it supposedly has a lot of good qualities for you skin, but it'll clog your pores.

- Do invest in toners!

Today marks two weeks of using my OSEA Gua Sha tool. I have been changing my habits to become healthier during this time and they are all things I have done before, so I know what results I usually get without Gua Sha.

Here are the results I've seen with Gua Sha, but not without:

Glowing skin (it looks bright even when I get little sleep, which usually dulls my skin)

Removed dark circles and puffiness under the eyes (I didn't notice this myself, but when my bf brought it up I was pleasantly surprised)

Clear sinuses (I was often congested)

Reduced puffiness/water retention/inflammatin in the face and neck (the back of my neck is an area I focus on and I cannot believe the difference it makes)

Improved Premenstrual Syndrome (no symptoms at all)

A raise in my energy levels

More restful sleep

Improved chest acne (my chest is clear at the moment)

Improved mood (immediately following a Gua Sha session I feel very relaxed and my mood is positive)

Smooth lymph nodes (they were quite bumpy before, probably due to congestion)

I want to drink every drop of water around me (my blood sugars are fine, but for some reason I really want to hydrate)

Note: I do a PMS routine every 3 days and a daily face, neck, chest routine.
