Keeping up with your beauty routine can be a challenge–especially if you are working to prevent or reverse signs of aging. Luckily, some at-home tools can help improve the appearance of your skin.

Specifically, Gua Sha helps visibly reduce key signs of aging–like sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha works by improving blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, and skin elasticity--leaving you with younger looking skin.

 

The best technique starts with applying facial oil to your face and neck. Then, starting at your neck, move the tool upwards over your face.

According to Healthline, Gua Sha is a safe natural healing remedy as long as you sanitize it regularly with rubbing alcohol. Plus, it should not hurt though it may change the appearance of your skin.

 

The article explains, "Because it involves rubbing or scraping skin with a massage tool, tiny blood vessels known as capillaries near the surface of your skin can burst. This can result in skin bruising and minor bleeding. Bruising usually disappears within a couple of days."  

 

To get started, all you really need is a Gua Sha tool and a facial oil of your choice.
