The Importance of Gua Sha Massage Oil

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

If you rub gua sha on dry skin, the sharp edges of the tool cause microscopic abrasions to the skin tissue and induce strong irritation.

Beyond temporary redness, this damages the fibers that support skin elasticity, leading to a counterproductive effect that actually causes fine lines and a loss of elasticity.

Therefore, you must apply face oil or cream more generously than usual to create an environment where the gua sha can glide.

Only when a smooth lubricating film is formed can blood circulation be promoted without skin irritation and swelling be safely removed.
