Facial Gua Sha: Your Secret to Radiant, Glowing Skin Naturally

As a founder of Radiant Years, I believe beauty doesn’t come in a bottle—it’s cultivated through mindful rituals that honour your skin and your self.

One of my favourite practices for maintaining a youthful, glowing complexion is Facial Gua Sha—a centuries-old technique that’s as soothing as it is effective.

Using a smooth-edged tool like the Classic or Mushroom Gua Sha gently lifts, tones, and refreshes the skin with a series of upward and outward strokes.

And the benefits? They speak for themselves:

🌿 Boosts circulation to brighten dull skin

🌿 Reduces puffiness and inflammation

🌿 Improves elasticity for firmer skin

🌿 Releases tension from facial muscles

🌿 Stimulates lymphatic drainage to detoxify

🌿 Leaves you with a naturally radiant glow

Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your gua sha :

1. Choose the stone that suits your intention - Classic Gua sha for all skin types and Mushroom shaped Gua sha for mature skin. Most of Gua sha is made out of natural stone like jade or rose quartz which brings extra healing benefits to the skin.

2. Apply face oil before using the tool for slip and glide - we never want to drag or pull the skin while massaging.

3. Then glide the stone across your face and neck following the rule - Start from the centre and sweep outward, letting the tool do the work.

For mature skin, give a mushroom shaped gua sha a go. This tool is much smaller and also flatter, providing greater support for the skin and muscles as it glides across the face.

Mushroom shaped stone works really well on the bony-structured face  (if there’s been a loss of muscle volume) so it doesn’t feel like it’s scraping over the bone structure of - a much more comfortable and supportive sensation.

Whether you’re embracing your natural beauty or giving your skin a little extra love, Facial Gua Sha fits beautifully into your daily or weekly self-care ritual. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling good in your skin, every year of your life.
