## Why choose a metal Gua Sha tool?

While traditional Gua Sha tools are made from stones such as rose quartz or jade, our metal Gua Sha offers additional advantages:

**Longer lifespan**: metal is more resistant to damage and wear than stone.

**Better hygiene**: it is easy to clean and disinfect.

**Better cooling effect**: a metal tool keeps a lower temperature for longer, which helps reduce swelling and puffiness.

**An eco-friendly choice**: metal is a sustainable material that you can use for many years.

## How to use Gua Sha for facial massage?

Using a Gua Sha tool correctly can improve the appearance of the skin and reduce tension in the facial muscles. For the best results, follow these steps:

### 1. Preparing the skin

Always apply a quality facial oil before using the Gua Sha tool. At Aroma Herbal we recommend:

[Clearing – ideal for blemish-prone and oily skin. >>>](https://www.aroma-herbal.com/izdelki/masazna-olja/clearing)

[Soothing – for evening out skin tone and improving skin texture](https://www.aroma-herbal.com/izdelki/masazna-olja/soothing) >>

[Revitalising – for a fresh, revived look and anti-ageing care. >>](https://www.aroma-herbal.com/izdelki/masazna-olja/revitalising)

### 2. Massage technique

Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 15-degree angle to the skin.

Do not use too much pressure – the movement should be gentle, yet firm enough to stimulate circulation.

Start at the neck and gradually work upwards towards the face.

Use long strokes to massage the jaw, cheekbones and forehead.

Around the eye area, use the softest movements and avoid excessive pressure.

### 3. Finishing and aftercare

After the massage, you can refresh your face with cold water and apply your favourite moisturising serum or cream. Always clean the tool thoroughly after use.

## Results and benefits of regular use

With regular use of the Gua Sha technique (at least 3-4 times a week) you can expect:

Better circulation and a natural glow to the skin.

Reduced puffiness and dark circles.

Smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles.

Relaxation of the facial muscles, which helps reduce tension and stress.
