What happens if you massage gouache every day?

Guasha is a Chinese massage technique that uses a special scraper. It can be made of stone or wood. "Gua Sha" in Chinese literally means "to scrape all the bad". The Chinese did this massage as early as 550 BC, archaeologists say. And this is confirmed by the jade scrapers found during excavations. Today, these scrapers are popular among beauty bloggers, stars and cosmetologists. Unlike Chinese medicine, the beauty industry performs facial massage. Although massage with gouache scraper has a beneficial effect on the whole body.



Gouache scraper massage is made from jade, pink quartz, rock crystal and other semi-precious stones. The most popular material is jade. This stone has a high heat capacity, it is considered a natural heating pad and works as a compress. Jade stones are used to relieve migraine and headache. It is believed that it gives the skin elasticity and normalizes blood pressure, so that a scraper of jade is an ideal device for rejuvenating the face without injections.

Before you start to massage, you need to thoroughly clean the skin of contaminants and moisturize it with cream or cosmetic oil. Do not use essential oils, they can be too aggressive on the skin. For the first time, 10-15 minutes are enough, you can gradually increase the time of massage and do it twice a day.

Massage with gouache scraper has a stronger effect on soft tissues than massage with hands or roller made of stone, which is often bought in the set. Despite the fact that the Chinese consider intense redness a good sign, massage should be done according to the rules and not overdo it. The procedure should be abandoned if there are rashes, redness and irritation on the skin. It is also not recommended to massage gouache to those who have recently done cosmetic procedures with subcutaneous injections.

There are drawbacks to this beautiful invention. Jade scrapers aren't that cheap. Since the device is made of stone, it can break with careless use. Gouache massage replaces lifting procedures and prevents skin aging. It will be much more effective if you observe the drinking regime and give the body a full rest. Don’t forget about a balanced diet.
