About Blue Circle Jade GuaSha Stone
The Blue Circle Jade Gua sha Stone is a skincare tool inspired by a traditional Asian practice meant to keep skin looking young. Made of a special kind of jade, it releases far infrared rays, which are great for rejuvenating skin cells and preventing signs of aging.
This gua sha stone is carefully shaped by hand so it's easy to hold and use on your face. It's designed to help your skin in several ways: by detoxing, boosting blood flow, shaping your face's contours, reducing wrinkles and lines, and lessening dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
The Gua Sha technique, rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, refreshes dull skin with a soothing massage. Regular use of the gua sha stone can make your skin look really glowing and young.
Each Blue Jade Gua Sha Stone is unique, with slight differences in color and size, since they are hand-carved. They are especially helpful for those who want to reduce puffiness around the face and eyes and are looking for a natural way to fight the visible signs of aging.

How to use Jade Guasha Stone
-
Clean Your Face and Hands: Before you start, make sure your face and hands are clean. This helps prevent spreading any dirt or oil.
-
Apply Some Oil or Serum: It’s good to put a bit of face oil or serum on your skin first. This lets the Gua Sha stone glide smoothly without pulling your skin.
-
Hold the Stone Right: Grip the Gua Sha stone so that it’s almost flat against your skin, but with a slight angle.
-
Start at the Neck: Begin at the base of your neck and gently move the stone upwards towards your jaw. This helps open up the pathways for drainage.
-
Move to the Jawline: Glide the stone along your jawline from the center of your chin towards your ear. Use gentle, smooth strokes.
-
Cheeks and Under Eyes: Carefully sweep the stone over your cheeks, moving from the side of your nose out to your ear. Be extra gentle under your eyes!
-
Forehead Time: Now, go across your forehead. Start from the middle and move out towards your temples.
-
Be Gentle: Remember to use light pressure. It should feel relaxing, not painful.
-
Repeat and Switch Sides: Do the same movements on both sides of your face. Usually, repeating each stroke about 3-5 times works well.
-
Clean Your Gua Sha Stone: After you’re done, clean your stone with soap and water to keep it hygienic for next time.
