Avoid these harmful Gua Sha methods that ruin your face!

Are you using creative methods like Gua Sha with cleansing foam, during a shower, make-up remover, or with a face mask on? If yes, then you need to ⚡️stop it now as these methods can ruin your face!

🌟In this post, TanmuCare will explain why and how to perform facial Gua Sha the right way.

Firstly, let's understand the Gua Sha medium

The oil, cream, or serum you use for Gua Sha is called the "Gua Sha Medium," which acts as a barrier between your skin and the Gua Sha tool. When you scrape your skin with the tool, it clears the meridian on your face, improving the microcirculation, and  making each movement smooth. At the same time, the oil or cream that are good for skin can be absored well with each Gua Sha movement, giving you better skin.

😱 Using cleanser or makeup remover as a medium won't nourish the skin as their main purpose is to clean.You will not like your skin to absorb ingredients form a cleanser while peforming Gua Sha...

Secondly, let's talk about Sha

When performing Gua Sha, it may cause red or purple bruises called sha due to ruptured capillaries near the skin's surface, specially after scraping neck and shoulders.If you do Gua Sha during a shower, the water may stimulate the areas of ruptured capillaries, causing damage to your skin. Even if there's no redness after facial Gua Sha, the blood circulation of that area is still boosted after scraping. 

To avoid this, wait at least three hours before taking a shower if you have a lot of redness. For the face, you can clean it with warm water after Gua Sha. If redness occurs, wait longer or wash it the next morning. This is why we recommend to perform Gua Sha after shower. 

Lastly, keep your Gua Sha routine simple.

Grab your favorite and best facial oil that suits your skin type,  and stay in a warm room. and perform gentle Gua Sha moves. By doing it this way, you'll get the best results without causing any harm to your skin.

In summary, stop using harmful methods and start performing Gua Sha the right way. Your skin will thank you!
