Reasons why a Rose Quartz Gua Sha should be a part of your beauty routine

1. SCULPTING: using a Gua Sha is a wonderful way to naturally contour your face. 
2. LIFTING: by reducing tension in your muscles, bringing circulation to them and gently strengthening the muscles, you have a lifting effect on your skin, 
3. SMOOTHING: As you use the Gua Sha, you help the Qi (life force energy) flow more efficiently into the skin, which helps your face look smoother and glowing. 
4. BRIGHTENING: the gentle redness that appears when you use a Gua Sha on your skin is called the 'Sha'. This helps to boost the blood circulation in your skin, giving immediate brightness. 
5. DETOXING: using a Gua Sha is a great way to give the lymphatic system a helping hand to help reduce toxins in your skin. 
6. DE-PUFFING: as you use the Gua Sha, you will notice a reduction in puffiness under your eyes and bloating in your face; plus, it will have a cooling effect on the skin. 
7. BOOSTS SELF LOVE: Rose quartz is the crystal of the heart chakra, and holding it in your hand and using it on your face helps deepen your connection with yourself. 
8. GREAT FOR THE MORNINGS: the rose quartz crystal is renowned for being a morning crystal, so it's a great choice to use at the end of your morning skincare routine. 

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Rose Quartz Gua Sha for Glowing Skin

Once you've added 3/6 drops of B Calm facial oil to your skin, simply follow the below steps:

1. Hold your Gua Sha with the curved side to your face. Gently glide it gently up and out, starting with the neck. Make sure you're stroking down the neck, never upwards, to drain fluid.
2. Next move onto your jawline, chin and around the mouth, stroking the skin between three and five times per area. Always take short strokes in just one direction, not back and forth. If you want to reduce puffiness, work lightly, then more firmly, to relax muscles.
3. Pressing the tool flat to the skin, next delicately stroke under the eyes or over any redness, to soothe and de-puff.
4. Finally, work the tool in small horizontal strokes over the brow bone to lift, or hold and press upwards between the brows to release tension.

Wait until any redness has subsided before re-treating the area. Gua Sha is a treatment designed to relieve muscular pain, tension and inflammation by improving circulation.
