Rose Quartz Gua Sha to Enhance and Lift Face

Before you begin your massage, we recommend applying our Organic Rose Water Hydrosol and a few drops of Botanical Face Elixir to prepare the skin.

Holding the stone at a 45-degree angle to the skin, make long, sweeping strokes with gentle pressure.

Always move the stone from the inside of the face outwards, and finish each glide with a little wiggle at the hairline.

At the end of your routine, make downward strokes along the neck to drain any stagnant fluid towards the supraclavicular node at the collar bone.

INCREASES CIRCULATION

With each Gua Sha stroke, blood rushes to the skin to replenish and oxygenate the area. With better circulation, the skin is supported within its own healing rhythms able to heal, replenish and regenerate.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

By reaching deep beneath the skin to break down the fascia, the massage helps stagnant fluid to drain away from the skin revealing more sculpted, and lifted features.

SKIN-CELL REGENERATION

Regular massage stimulates the skin to encourage cell regeneration and turnover. Over time this also improves collagen and elastin production to slow signs of ageing.

The ancient Chinese practice of Gua Sha is a meditative massage that combines mindfulness and healing. The tool is gently pulled along the surface of the skin to unblock stagnant lymphatic fluid and increase blood flow. The soothing massage releases tension and inflammation while increasing oxygenation and cellular reproduction to regenerate the skin.

But Gua Sha is not just for the skin, it is also for the spirit. The ritual has been used since the Ming dynasty to rebalance qi, or energy flow, through the body. By targeting acupressure points along the body’s meridians, the massage encourages a deep sense of relaxation and calm.

As we live, our bodies are constantly responding to an internal-external exchange influenced by our immediate environment, and what touches our skin. While a variety of tools are used in Gua Sha, our Rose Quartz Gua Sha range is designed for specific areas of the face and body. The cool, natural touch of rose quartz, in combination with our oils, is a luxurious experience for your skin and spirit.

Our Gua Sha tools are hand-carved by artisan crafters from sustainably sourced Grade A Rose Quartz.

Perfectly imperfect, this naturally formed crystal is believed to open up the heart space in order to promote deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Unlike glass or plastic, Rose Quartz is cold to the touch helping to awaken and refresh the skin.

Responsibly sourced, Grade A Rose Quartz. Wash with warm soapy water after each use and store in the protective bag

We believe in a return to nature, centred around a sustainable cycle where we should only take what we can give back. That’s why every Earth To You order starts and ends its journey as a seed in the soil.

With the intention of revitalising arid farmland, we donate a portion of each sale to a programme called the Forest Garden Approach. Run by a charity called Trees For The Future, the 4-year programme gives farmers the skills they need to sustainably support their communities and grow thousands of trees. Every seed planted helps to reverse environmental degradation, restore biodiversity, and remove megatons of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. But more than that, Forest Garden Farmers gain access to income and food for themselves and their families, breaking the cycle of poverty and hunger. Just as the earth gifts us with healing and nourishing herbs and botanicals, we must give back and do what we can to protect the soils we come from. This sustainable approach to re-forestation brings valuable nutrients back to the soil, breathing new life and hope into over-farmed and arid lands.
