The Botanics Rose Quartz Gua Sha is handcrafted with the shape carefully designed to fit all the angles of your face. You can use it along your jawline, across your cheekbones, and even in more delicate areas like your temples, eyebrows and nose.
If you’ve never used a gua sha before, they’re a simple and easy to use tool that helps with lymphatic drainage. You follow the natural flow your your face, pressing gently and gliding the Botanics Rose Quartz Gua Sha along your skin to help encourage fluid to move along and away from your face, as well as relieving tension and boosting circulation.
It’s important not to place too much pressure onto your skin, especially in the more delicate areas, but it should be enough to push the skin down and drag it. Always use a gua sha in motions that move away from the centre of your face, to encourage the fluid to move away from the area.
You should always use a facial oil with your Gua Sha, which helps the tool glide more steadily and gently along your skin, preventing dragging or bruising. Boots recommends pairing your Botanics Rose Quartz Gua Sha with the Botanics 100% Organic Facial Oils.
There are some skincare fanatics who prefer to avoid stone-based gua shas due to their porous nature, which can lead to oils and skincare products becoming absorbed into the stone over time. If you’re worried about how hygienic it is, swapping to a stainless steel gua sha is a great way to avoid this.
This Kitsch Stainless Steel Gua Sha Tool, £24, is made from 100% stainless steel, which prevents the build-up of dirt and can be cleaned easily. The stainless steel is also easy to chill, and can be used as an extra cooling factor when de-puffing and calming sensitive skin.
