How to use gua sha plate? Learn the best moves

Gua Sha massage is a traditional Chinese therapeutic method that involves moving a special plate over the skin to improve circulation and relax muscles. Applied to both the face and body, the technique helps reduce tension, aids detoxification of the body and stimulates energy flow.

The key to getting the best results from Gua Sha massage is regularity, proper technique and using the plate on well-hydrated skin. Whether you want to improve your facial oval, reduce puffiness or simply relax, Gua Sha can become a valuable part of your skin care regimen.

Benefits of Gua Sha plate massage

• Improve blood and lymph circulation – Gua Sha stimulates the microcirculation of the skin, thus delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the cells. This promotes regeneration, improves skin tone and reduces swelling.
• Reduction of muscle tension – the massage helps relax tense muscles, especially in the jaw, neck and shoulder areas. It can be especially helpful for people who clench their jaw or suffer from tension headaches.
• Reduction of puffiness and dark circles under the eyes – by stimulating lymphatic drainage, Gua Sha helps get rid of excess water and toxins, resulting in a reduction in swelling and dark circles under the eyes.
• Improve skin elasticity and smooth out wrinkles – regular massage stimulates collagen production, which can help firm skin and smooth fine lines.
• Facelift effect – properly performed Gua Sha massage can gently lift and contour the face, giving it a more rested and youthful appearance.
• Relieve pain and tension – Gua Sha can be applied not only to the face, but also to the body to relieve muscle tension, relieve back, neck and shoulder pains.

STAINLESS STEEL GUA SHA – Veoli Botanica massage plate

Have you noticed that your skin is becoming less firm? This is the moment to introduce short, manual massages into your skin care routine to slim and contour your face and subtly lift your cheeks. Plate STAINLESS STEEL has the characteristic shape of an elongated heart. It is flat, smooth, and its subtly rounded edges ensure smooth gliding over the skin, making massage even more comfortable.

• Stimulates microcirculation, firms the skin and reduces puffiness – thanks to its cooling properties, the plate quickly eliminates swelling and improves skin tone.
• Provides a pleasant cooling effect – stainless steel keeps the temperature low, which soothes the skin, relieves irritation and improves comfort. It can be further chilled in the refrigerator to enhance the effect.
• Versatility – suitable for all skin types and can be applied over oil, your favorite cream or mask.
• Hygienic and durable – stainless steel is easy to clean and does not absorb cosmetics, making it more hygienic than stone Gua Sha tiles.
• Ergonomic design – perfectly adapts to the contours of the face, facilitating precise massage.

"This is a great gadget for the home spa! Just a few minutes of massage is enough to feel the difference. Using the plate in the morning, especially after cooling, immediately refreshes the skin and reduces puffiness."

How to use STAINLESS STEEL GUA SHA correctly?

Gua Sha massage can be performed daily if light pressure is used. Use STAINLESS STEEL GUA SHA 5-10 minutes a day for best results.

STEP 1: Cleansing the skin

Before starting the massage, the skin should be cleansed and well moisturized.

STEP 2: Skin preparation

Apply your favorite serum to your face and neck. If it doesn't give you enough glide, use a cream, or oil, so that the plate can glide easily over the skin without causing irritation.

STEP 3: Proper massage technique and movements

Massage is done in gentle, smooth movements, always guiding the plate in one direction – never back and forth. The angle of the plate should be about 15-45 degrees to the skin. Massage the different parts of the body according to the scheme:

• Forehead: move the plate from the center of the forehead to the sides, towards the hairline.
• Eyebrows and eye area: very gently guide the plate from the inside of the eyebrows outwards.
• Cheeks: start from the nose and move towards the temples.
• Mandibular line: move the plate from the center of the chin towards the ears, pressing lightly.
• Neck: massage from the clavicles up toward the jawline to stimulate lymphatic drainage.

STEP 4: After-massage care

After the massage, it is a good idea to reapply a nourishing cream or serum so that the skin can take full advantage of the effects of improved circulation.

STEP 5: Cleaning the plate

Daily cleaning after use:

• rinse the plate with water, wash with mild soap or face gel, dry with paper towel.

More thorough cleansing once a week:

• disinfect the plate with alcohol (e.g. 70%) or a special antibacterial preparation, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Additional tips:

• Do not use aggressive detergents or rough sponges to avoid scratching the surface.
• Store the plate in a dry place, preferably in a case or on a clean surface.
• Avoid contact with moist cosmetics to prevent bacterial buildup.
• Regular care of the plate will make the massage not only effective, but also fully hygienic.
