The Importance of Gua Sha Oil

The most important thing to keep in mind when performing Gua Sha massage is to minimize friction.

If you rub a gua sha on dry skin, strong friction occurs between the tool and the skin, which can cause micro-abrasions or stretch the skin tissue.

This actually reduces elasticity and causes wrinkles.

Therefore, you must apply a sufficient amount of face oil or specialized cream to create an environment where the gua sha can glide smoothly.

You must maintain a smooth lubrication to experience its natural effects of promoting blood circulation and alleviating swelling without irritating the skin.
