Long-lasting Cool Sensation for More Effective Relief: Natural crystals have low thermal conductivity, so they can maintain a long-lasting cool sensation when in contact with the skin. This coolness not only instantly soothes the skin and shrinks pores but also reduces the heat generated by skin friction during Gua Sha, avoiding redness and stinging. It is especially suitable for use in summer or when the skin is sensitive.
Moderate Hardness for A Snug Fit Without Scratching: Crystals are harder than ox horns, so they are not easily deformed or worn, ensuring a longer service life. At the same time, they are not as hard as metal boards. After polishing, their edges are smooth and rounded, which can fit closely to curved areas such as the face, neck, and shoulders. Whether for gentle massage or deep Gua Sha, they can exert force accurately without harming the skin.
Natural Energy for Gentle Skin Care: From the perspective of traditional health preservation, natural crystals are believed to carry gentle energy that helps soothe emotions and balance physical conditions. From the perspective of modern skincare, high-quality crystals contain no chemical additives and will not react with the ingredients in skincare products, making them safe for sensitive skin. Long-term use can also help skincare products be better absorbed.
Promote Circulation to Improve Dullness: Gently scrape along the facial contours with a crystal Gua Sha board every day (e.g., from the chin to the back of the ears, from the sides of the nose to the temples). This can stimulate the expansion of facial capillaries and accelerate blood circulation. After 1-2 weeks of persistence, you will clearly feel that your skin tone becomes brighter, dullness and yellowishness are reduced, and even the "tired look" after staying up late can be quickly relieved.
Dredge Lymph to Reduce Swelling and Slim the Face: Many people's "big faces" are actually "puffy faces"—drinking water before bed, staying up late, and eating heavy-tasting food can all lead to lymphatic blockage in the face and cause swelling. Gently scrape along the jawline and neck lymph nodes (from the back of the ears to the collarbone) with the narrow edge of the crystal Gua Sha board. This can help drain excess water and metabolic waste. After 3-5 days of persistence, the jawline will become clearer, and the "small V-face" effect is more obvious than that of face-slimming cream.
Tighten Skin and Reduce Fine Lines: As we age, the loss of collagen in the skin easily leads to sagging and fine lines. The cool sensation of the crystal Gua Sha board can stimulate the contraction of skin elastic fibers. When used with essence, it can help nutrient ingredients penetrate into the dermis layer faster. Especially for fine lines around the eyes and nasolabial folds, gently press and scrape with the round head of the Gua Sha board to reduce dry lines and make the skin more firm and elastic.
Reduce Neck Lines to Make the Neck Look Younger: The neck skin is thin and has fewer sebaceous glands, making it prone to dryness and wrinkles. Dip a crystal Gua Sha board in neck cream or essential oil and scrape from the collarbone to the chin. This can moisturize the neck skin and stimulate collagen regeneration at the same time. After 1 month of persistence, the originally obvious neck lines will become lighter, and the neck skin will be more delicate.
Relax Muscles to Alleviate Shoulder and Neck Pain: When looking down, the neck muscles are in a "tight" state. Over time, this can lead to the formation of a "wealth bump" (a protrusion at the base of the neck) or soreness. Gently scrape along the muscles on both sides of the neck (from Fengchi Point to the shoulders) with the wide edge of the crystal Gua Sha board. This can relax the tense muscles and promote the circulation of qi and blood. Scrape for 5-10 minutes every day, and the stiffness in the shoulders and neck will be significantly relieved, and even symptoms such as dizziness and headache will be reduced.
Relieve Shoulder and Back Soreness to Improve "Office Worker Syndrome": People who sit for a long time are prone to "stiff knots" in their shoulders and backs. Dip a crystal Gua Sha board in massage oil and scrape along the Bladder Meridian on both sides of the shoulders and back (from the neck to the waist). This can dredge the meridians and relieve muscle tension. After scraping, you will feel much more relaxed in your shoulders and back, and even your breathing will become smoother.
Assist in Conditioning to Improve Sleep Quality: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the back belongs to yang, and the abdomen belongs to yin". Dredging the meridians of the shoulders and back can regulate the yang energy of the whole body. If you often suffer from insomnia and dreaminess, gently scrape your shoulders and back with a crystal Gua Sha board before going to bed. This can relax your body and mind, calm your mood, and help you fall into deep sleep faster.
Slim Arms and Legs to Improve "Bat Wings" and "Elephant Legs": The "bat wings" (loose skin on the back of the arms) and "elephant legs" (thick legs) are actually related to poor local circulation. Scrape along the arms (from the wrists to the armpits) and legs (from the ankles to the knees) with the wide edge of the crystal Gua Sha board. This can promote blood circulation in the limbs and accelerate fat metabolism. After 2-3 weeks of persistence, the lines of the limbs will become more symmetrical, and you will look slimmer in clothes.
Relieve Joint Discomfort and Protect Limb Health: Joints such as the knees and elbows are prone to soreness when the weather changes or after exercise. Gently press the acupoints around the joints (such as Zusanli and Yanglingquan around the knees) with the round head of the crystal Gua Sha board. This can promote the circulation of qi and blood around the joints, relieve discomfort, and protect joint health with long-term persistence.
Relieve Anxiety and Calm the Mood: When you feel stressed and anxious, gently scrape your face and temples with a crystal Gua Sha board. The cool sensation will quickly calm your mind, and the scraping movement can also divert your attention, gradually calming your mood.
Alleviate Irritability and Improve Concentration: When you feel irritable and unable to concentrate at work or study, spend 2 minutes scraping your neck and wrists with a crystal Gua Sha board. This can promote blood circulation, allow the brain to get more oxygen, and thus improve concentration.
Match with Products: Apply "Medium" First, Then Scrape: Do not scrape the skin directly with a dry Gua Sha board, otherwise, it may scratch the skin and cause fine lines. It is recommended to use it with essence, cream, massage oil, or neck cream. These "media" can reduce friction and help nutrient ingredients penetrate faster, achieving two goals at once.
Control the Force: "Take Gentle Force as the Main Principle, and Progress Gradually": Many people think that "the harder you scrape, the better", but this is not the case. The facial skin is thin, and excessive force will cause redness and sensitivity; although the body parts have higher tolerance, the principle of "comfort without stinging" should also be followed. Use gentle force when starting to use it, and gradually increase the force after adaptation.
Pay Attention to the Direction: "Scrape Along the Meridians, Do Not Scrape Back and Forth": Gua Sha emphasizes "one-way scraping". For example, scrape from bottom to top and from the inside out on the face, from bottom to top on the neck, and from top to bottom on the back. Do not scrape back and forth, otherwise, it will disrupt the flow of qi and blood in the meridians and affect the effect.
Choose "Natural Crystals" Instead of "Artificial Crystals": Natural crystals have a longer-lasting cool sensation and gentler energy, while artificial crystals may contain chemical substances that can irritate the skin with long-term use. When purchasing, you can check the texture of the crystal—natural crystals have irregular "ice cracks" or "cotton-like impurities", while artificial crystals have uniform texture and no impurities.
Check the "Polishing Process"—Edges Should Be Rounded: The edges of high-quality crystal Gua Sha boards are carefully polished, feeling smooth without burrs and will not scratch the skin. Do not buy one with rough edges and sharp corners, even if the material is good.
Choose the Shape According to "Usage Needs": Different shapes of crystal Gua Sha boards are suitable for different parts: long strips are suitable for the neck, shoulders, back, and limbs; square ones are suitable for facial contours; round-headed ones are suitable for the eye area and acupoint pressing. If you mainly use it on the face, it is recommended to choose a combined style with "square + round head" for more comprehensive functions.
