Facial Gua Sha is technically nothing new. There are reports suggesting Gua Sha was used by the ancient Egyptians, but it’s having a major moment in the beauty world! While it feels just as lovely as it sounds, the benefits actually extend way past relaxation and lessened tension—it’s linked to clearer skin, fewer wrinkles (believed to be natures botox) and a more sculpted appearance.

 

Sounds great, but what does it do? 

 

At Bodytoxing we use Xiuyan Jade Stone. This has been carved from pure crystal and remains uncontaminated, retaining its natural qualities. It moves lymphatic fluids and breaks down tension in muscles. That means improved blood flow and less puffiness (we’re looking at you, under eye bags). The increase in circulation is said to up hydration for that coveted youthful glow, and it even helps the skin to naturally purge blemish-causing dirt and oils.

 

What does the facial include?

 

Known for our rigorous facials, we're certainly not letting this one down! It's perfect for giving you the 'gua sha' glow.  Experience a variety of sensations while we deep cleanse and exfoliate the skin using two types of facial scrubs, a pore cleansing brush, followed by our diamond peel dermabrasion.  The facial also includes a steam, thorough blackhead removal, 24k Gold Algae Mask, covering the mostly neglected eye and lip area.  Of-course, ending with the Gua Sha Jade Stone Massage on the neck and face with a vitamin C oil, providing anti-oxidants and improving skin complexion.
