Rose Quartz Gua Sha | Facial Massaging Crystal
Gua Sha (pronounced GWA SHA) is a facial massage practice that has been used for thousands of years in China. The Gua Sha is similar to the Jade Roller; however, the Gua Sha gets deep into the face with your preferred pressure, and you can get a more targeting lymphatic and healing with it.
This is a much gentler version than the body Gua Sha. It involves a light gliding motion to tone, lift and smooth the skin.
Always in an upward and outward motion, the same goes when applying your oils and creams, mind you!!! Check out our Golden Dew Drops – it is a beautiful oil to match our Gua Sha.
- Safe during pregnancy for ‘facial & neck massage’ not body
- Our Golden Dew Drops pair great with this, so check it out!
- Smooth to the touch and has a nice weight to hold
- It comes in a reusable burlap natural fibre pouch (great for travel)!
- Crystal measurements – Approx 5cm x 8cm.
Benefits
As you gently scrape the skin, with the crystal held on a slight angle, micro-circulation is improved, bringing oxygenated blood to the dermal layers clearing congestion, stimulating cell renewal and brightening your complexion. This rush of blood (which you will see as your skin goes quite red after a session) will bring some much-needed nutrients for tissue repair – acne scars, anyone?
Facial Gua Sha NZ, most importantly, will drain lymphatic fluid that builds up in the face, which will help remove toxins! So crucial for skin health.
You can even use it on your tense shoulder muscles as a self-massage! Your pressure dictates how deep you can massage, and it feels fantastic!
It takes about 5 minutes of gentle ‘scraping’, as they call it – but really, you do not need to give it a specific time frame. Just do what feels right, and you’ll find your rhythm. Just make sure you do not press too hard!! So important. We don’t want to bruise our faces. Just a light pressure is all you need as your lymphatic vessels are close to the skin anyway. Always scrape toward the edges of your face. Just think “up and out”. So easy and relaxing.
If you hold a lot of tension in your jaw – if you are a perfectionist or get anxious, then using this will help release the tension build-up you are holding in that area.
When using a Gua Sha NZ massager, you need to use a facial oil to give the crystal glide over your skin; you do not want to drag dry skin.

How to care for your crystal gua sha NZ massager
Because this is a piece of crystal, it could crack or break if dropped or mishandled.
It is pretty solid, so this will not happen easy – but always look after your precious things 🙂
PLEASE NOTE: Because natural crystals are never the same, your rose quartz will always be unique in its shade of pink, individual markings and shaping.

I absolutely love my Gua Sha! I use it with the delicious golden dew drop oil and it’s become a special part of my morning and night routine that I really look forward to! It’s cooling and the best facial (and neck) massage; a definite must to include in your self care routine.

This isn’t normally an item that I would buy, but I thought I would treat myself and purchase this along with the golden dew drops. I love it! It’s like a little mini facial after I wash my face & by using the Gua Sha, it makes the evening routine feel like a special beauty ‘treatment’ rather than just rubbing some oil into my skin.
