    Dive deep into how the Contour club gua sha tool can change your facial health and life. It is a classic Chinese medicine tool which is making a huge impact on today's skincare routines.From getting a better, defined face to increasing blood flow or even just pampering yourself with a soothing ritual, this ultimate guide has all the info you might want to know about gua sha tools.

    A gua sha tool is a smoothly edged tool mostly made of natural materials such as jade, rose quartz, or bian stone, meant for scraping or massaging the skin. 'Gua, sha' is the pronunciation of the Chinese term that means 'scraping, ' and it refers to the traditional healing method that has been practiced by Chinese people for over 2, 000 years. Gua sha tools are available in diverse shapes very often resembling a heart or a fish with curved edges that correspond to the different parts of the body and are thus suitable for facial as well as body treatments.

    Contour Club Gua sha tools are intended to be slowly moved along the skin to increase blood circulation, help relax muscles, and stimulate lymphatic drainage. It is a scraping rather than a rolling action that gua sha is, and as such, it can go deeper than jade rollers which simply roll over the skin. Among others, jade is popular for its coolness, rose quartz for its calming effect on one's emotions, and even ceramic for being easy to clean. The best gua sha tools are so well polished that the skin is barely, if at all, irritated or dragged when a facial oil or serum is used with them.

    The incorporation of a gua sha tool into the schedule of your skincare rituals can be a source of extra glow and harmony by putting together the heritage of beauty rituals and modern self care for spectacular results.
