Gua Sha is a little bit like dry brushing for the face in a sense that it helps with lymphatic drainage when done correctly. It also helps a lot with water retention. My mom and I started doing it a few years ago and felt a big difference. Our faces seem firmer and less puffiness. For reference I'm 27 and my mom is 52

@@s.8186 They both help with the blood circulation and draining of the lymphatic system. Gua Sha is less irritating because the tool has a smooth edge. You can also apply more pressure with the Gua Sha tool. Dry brushing is good for the body(altho I have pretty delicate skin and even the softer bristles scratches it), but might be too irritating for the skin on the face

I’m a Gua Sha tool user now for the past few months. I have to say I see improvement in my skin. People compliment me on how nice my skin looks. I’m 32 and noticed before this my face looked more uneven texture wise. Also less sinus headaches than before which is a plus.

You don't need the special jade Gua Sha tool, I used to do body Gua Sha (neck and back) for my mom when I was a kid, started around 5-6 years old. We used a soup spoon, the type you see in most Chinese restaurants. We dipped the spoon in a small amount of oil to protect the skin. It worked perfectly.

It must work, Ms. Dang has one of the most gorgeous faces I've ever seen on a human being.
To viewers with acne: I would not recommend either one of these tools for acne prone skin. These tools can cause extra friction on the skin, therefore irritating existing acne and acne prone skin. Aja does not seem like she has acne prone skin, so maybe its works for her for increasing circulation, and possibly reducing her breakouts. However, for acne prone skin I would stay away from irritating your irritable skin more!

Gua Sha isn't an acne treatment but is good to prevent acne. Gua Sha will clearing clogged pores and control acne and pimples. This will help you avoid getting breakouts. If your acne is caused by oily skin, using Gua Sha can increase skin moisture, reducing oil production and improve blood circulation, which can affect and improves your skin condition 😉

Aja Dang That is a good way to put it! Gua Sha can increase blood circulation from the friction and movement of the jade on the skin. However, I don't think it regulates oil production or skin moisture. Our skin is composed of natural moisturizing factors in the stratum corneum. Our skin is kept healthy by keeping a healthy skin barrier, so using a pH balanced around 5.5 and using moisturizer, perhaps with ceramides for extra skin function. The skin will produce excess sebum in response to an unhealthy skin barrier, but if the skin has sebaceous glands that are naturally very active, both tools will do nothing to regulate oil production. Therefore, they cannot help prevent further breakouts caused by oil as there is no active ingredient that can stimulate the sebaceous glands in the dermis. So, the gua sha tool and jade roller alone as a tool only help increase blood circulation. I wouldn't advise it to anyone who is prone to acne as the increased blood circulation isn't worth the risk of irritating your skin. For acne viewers not suffering from hormonal acne, I would recommend finding a pH balanced cleanser around 5.5 (cosrx has one), incorporating a chemical exfoliant such as retinoids, azelic acid, or mandelic acid to help clear and maintain the pores, and a moisturizer that isn't too heavy for the skin but not light enough where you do not get enough hydration. Btw, I am not a physician, but a 1st year medical student with a passion for skin and maintaining it 😊

Emily why are you recommending skin care routines? As a first year med you wouldn't know much about improving acne. You really wouldn't get that deep into that stuff until you get into a dermatology school.
When I was younger I was very into Jade....I recently watched a documentary on how it is mined,and have since stopped buying it. Slave labor, and death, should never be used to procure a stone to help my skin, muscles, or religious beliefs.

Hi Aja! I think you video was amazing, I just found out about this technique last night. Yours is the first video I've watched. I love you. You made this smart, savvy and informative. You bring to life ancient, metaphysical and skin care to a perfect pitch. I'm actually 50 years old this year. I don't look a day over 30. But, I've been and do sell my own vegan based skin & hair care products. I also use crystals including jade to metaphysical treatment/healing for my clients. This is a welcomed essential, thank you. I will be following you!
I just bought both from Amazon and used the roller first. I was super happy with it until I used the Gua Sha and OMG! I definitely prefer the Gua Sha over the roller. I instantly felt the difference with the Gua Sha. I definitely love it!

Just FYI for anyone watching this who is going to buy the Gua Sha tool, she is doing it wrong in the video, you are supposed to hold the tool at a 5 to 10 degree angle (almost flat). Certainly she may still have benefits doing it this way, but you get more benefits from creating the skin tension of the tool when held properly.
@AjaDang

you get skin tensions either way. The way I do it, which many Asian skincare professionals do the same way as well, creates greater tension then laying it flat on your skin.

Bought a jade gua sha tool and I love it, think I'll get a rose quartz one just because I love pink 💕💕💕💕
I also put both my jade roller and quartz roller in the freezer. First thing in the morning after cleansing I use both rollers. Feels amazing.
Just bought a guasha and jade roller.and both are amazing I just love it.especially the feel of the tools and the cool bottle green colour of the jade stone.very cool and relaxing to the eyes.just love love both tools😍😍😍🤗😁☺
I LOVE my Gua Sha. I actually didnt know what it was called till now! But I struggle with puffy eyes a lot. And my face is really sensitive to salt. So as soon as I learned how to use it, my life became a lot easier! I used to have to use green tea bags for my eyes in the morning, but this tool makes it a lot easier and quicker to de puff!
Finally someone who gave me some clarity thank you 💕
Very helpful, I am setting aside time in my routine to try a pink quartz roller. I am such a skincare newbie and I felt this was well explained. Will remember to put it in the freezer!
Also, I've been using a gua sha for two years to help with migraines and jaw stiffness. My acupuncturist recommended it.
THAT THUMBNAIL THOUGH. 💚 I am mostly Filipino with some Chinese (and Spanish also) in my roots. I can definitely attest to jade being important to my family's culture. My mother gifted a jade ring to me on my 18th birthday, just as my grandma gifted one to her. I didn't take careful care of my skin in my college years and now have dark (and I mean, DARK) circles and wrinkles around my eyes. I neglected moisturizing my dry skin and didn't sleep well. Recently, I've noticed even some wrinkles/folds on my neck. I've never tried jade rolling or gua sha but have always been intrigued by both techniques. Thank you, Aja for providing some more information! I think I may try gua sha for my neck.

On amazon you can get both of these tools together for a good price i just ordered mine
Guasha technique is wrong. Shouldn't be perpendicular. You should have it almost flat on your skin.
Thank you for pointing out that this has been around for centuries! 👌 Trendy doesn't always mean effective! ✌💗🔆
Thanks for making this! I have an autoimmune disease that’s causing puffiness in my face. I can’t wait to see if this helps.
I've wanted a gua sha board since I originally watched this video and finally got one today. The instructions are great.
I think this is good for serum penetration. Serum then sheet mask and jade roller. To soak in the skin all the beautiful ingredients.
so helpful! I definitely want to try the gua shua. I was stuck between the two but after your video I am leaning towards gua shua :D
Besides the content itself, just love the HD quality of the video!

WHAAAAAAT you are ridiculously pretty, i'd only seen you on an instagram ad before this.
Thank you so much for the information regarding “upwards” and “outwards” motions. I use both tools for my facial routines. Your video is really good.
So happy to have found your channel. I was looking for information on gua sha as well as the jade roller. You've been incredibly helpful and informative. I will absolutely now purchase both as the roller looks nice as a soothing treat for my under eyes some mornings however I'm extremely excited to get and start incorporating the gua sha stone into my everyday skincare routine. I can completely see how it could aid in anti-aging. In one short video you've totally won me over and in really looking forward to seeing what else you've got to offer. Hope you're having a wonderful day. Peace and love xo
I have been using both,,,gua sha is amazing,,it gives instant face lift on the other hand jade roller feels fancy and comforting on my face but an ice cube would do the same,,,I am 33 yrs old and have oily acne prone skin,,,gua sha in long run help me a lot..
I've never heard of either of these (yes, apparently I live under a rock) but I am definitely going to look into a Gua Sha! Especially since I am now in my late 30's. Looks like it will be a great tool for my oily, aging skin. Thanks, Aja!! Oh, and you look stunning even bare-faced!

Thank you for your video it is helpful I was only rolling now I know better! Im 70 and I've only had it a few weeks. I actually purchased it because my son got Bells palsey and it was suggested for him and his face is back to normal so I figured it could help me some! 😉
Can't wait to try it. I got both as a gift.
I have done some work, rlf and micro needling on my face, both made no difference at all. like none. a chemical peel did help with some marks. I then tried the stone work and within a week I can see a huge difference in my skin, and jowels and i am sold. I have a rose quartz stone, and a roller, and small gua Sha tool. I use with a variety of serums every night. mostly I love the tension release. absolutely my favorite part of the day
This jade rolling trend has reminded me to do gua sha on my face. I usually do it after moisturizing. Great video!
Thank you so much. A while back I bought an ice roller for headaches and I could get either just that, that and a roller, or that with a roller AND the stone for a little more. Decided to get the three pack but wasn't quite sure how to use the other two. Now I know and I will definitely try tonight
First of all thank you for all of this information and second of all, YOU ARE GORGEOUS without make up! ^^
You have a natural beauty! Very pretty.
I was just given a Jade Roller for Christmas, never seen one before and I love it, really does help with Puffy Eyes and also Headaches rolling on the Temples, Very Soothing :-)x

@@msolglz.1265 You don't want to go against the direction of blood and lymph flow. Your veins and lymphatic system have one way valves to aid blood/lymph flow back to the heart, as the force from a heart beat diminishes the farther away it gets from the heart. Going against the flow can damage these valves. It also won't help with circulation or drainage, as the circulating and draining are going down the neck, not up.

Gua Sha tool fa sho!!!!!!. and hands down the Best ever. I love the way it feels on my skin, I also have the jade roller and I concur, it is very delicate on the skin, the benefits are felt more when I use the qua sha tool.
rumor has it the jade roller doesnt even do anything, it just feels so good and thats why people like it. obviously it will improve your blood circulation a bit. but i just find it amusing that there is this huge hype. (as i am skincare trash, i still think about getting one though. might go for the gua sha tho, now that i know it)
