Gua Sha Facial Oil

Description

This gorgeous process of cleansing toxins from your skin is a traditional Asian technique to relieve pain and ease symptoms of stress in the facial muscles.  The usual method is slightly rougher to raise petechiae (tiny spots of bleeding under the skin) per the research article below.  The oil is highly recommended when you use a tool so you don’t damage your skin.  Fingers can also be used for a facial massage with similar benefits.
