Polished Rose Quartz Heart Gua Sha

Polished Rose Quartz Heart Gua Sha

Rose quartz is considered to be one of the most beautiful of all natural gemstones. It is known as the 'love stone' and most commonly occurs in its natural form of chunky masses rather than as crystals.

According to Greek legend, rose quartz was formed when Ares (god of war) attacked Aphrodite's (goddess of love) lover Adonis and their blood stained white quartz pink, creating rose quartz.

The Egyptians believed that rose quartz improved the complexion and helped to prevent ageing.  It is said that the Egyptian goddess Isis used rose quartz to maintain her beauty and youth and rose quartz face masks have been found in Egyptian tombs.

Rose quartz is a stone of love with a very soft and feminine energy.  It creates a calm atmosphere and dispels negativity. 

Rose quartz promotes self healing, self worth and forgiveness whilst restoring trust and harmony.

In Chinese medicine, gua sha is an ancient scraping technique. 

Facial gua sha is a beautifying technique to naturally stimulate blood circulation and lymphatic drainage for tired or congested skin. It can be used for lifting and sculpting, relaxing tight muscles that contribute to fine lines (like brows furrows), and for de-puffing under-eyes and cheeks. 

Directions:

Wash and dry your face prior to using the gua sha.

Moisten the skin with a facial oil.

With gentle pressure, move in upward lifting motions from the center of the face and out towards the hairline.

Stop and lightly press the tool in the hairline in front of and behind the ears to stimulate lymphatic drainage. Also follow the jawline and sides of the neck, where there are more drainage sites.

Do not roll over moles and avoid acne.

Care instructions:

Rinse with mild soap and warm water and lay flat to air dry.  Store in a cool dry place.

Keep out of reach from children.
