HZ Beauty Mantra: All About The Gua Sha Stone, The Hero Of The C Beauty Tools

If you have also been intrigued by an odd looking stone that is painted all over social media and everybody around us is constantly raving about it. Then you have certainly landed in just the right place.

A bunch of social media skincare and beauty trends have come up out of nowhere and have taken the skincare world by storm. One particular very viral trend out of the lot is the gua sha stone which is soon climbing the ladder of success becoming a phenomenon.

The gua sha stone is an ancient tool that has resurfaced over a couple of years. The beauty tool ensures that you will get a chiseled jawline on regular usage over a period of two weeks. What happened next was obviously that every beauty and skincare enthusiast took on the challenge in order to get their hands on that toned skin.

But what is absolutely interesting is that much like a lot of things Indian own, gua sha stone also comes from our neighbour country, China. What’s more, gua sha is not only the name of the tool but also the treatment that gives one a chiseled complexion and face.

What Is The Gua Sha Stone And Where Does It Come From?

Gua Sha literally means ‘scrape’ and ‘sand’ wherein sand signifies the redness developed on the skin due to sun exposure and damage caused therein.

Apparently, epochs ago farmers in the Chinese region found out that gently dragging a piece of coin over their skin that had been damaged by the sun would help with clearing the affected area.

The first discovery of the gua sha stone can be traced back to the ‘Yuan dynasty’ era in China. But the ancient tool has made quite a spot for itself in the current skincare scene. There has been a sudden spurt of interest in the tool to get an over all holistic anti-ageing skincare regime.

How Does The ‘Gua Sha Stone’ Work After All?

The gua sha stone can be used over a well hydrated and lubricated face that is achieved using a face serum or an essential oil. The stone is supposed to be gently maneuvered over the curves on the face focussing on the acupressure points.
