Gua-sha is an ancestral practice from traditional Chinese medicine, which today stands out as an effective way to stimulate skin rejuvenation processes. Made of precious stones or metals, Gua-sha, through specific movements, is positioned as an essential tool to stimulate collagen production.
Principles of Gua-sha and Impact on Collagen
Gua-sha, as a traditional process, helps release stagnant energies, stimulate blood circulation and encourages collagen synthesis. The preponderant role of collagen, a major structural protein, is manifested by its influence on skin firmness and elasticity, proving essential in the fight against wrinkles and the promotion of a youthful complexion.

Scientifically Validated Benefits for Radiant Skin
1. Increased Collagen
The practice of Gua-sha demonstrates effective results in the production of collagen, thus reinforcing the natural mechanisms of skin regeneration for visibly brighter, firmer and smoother skin.
2. Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
The specific movements of Gua-sha, applied to targeted areas prone to wrinkles, result in a substantial reduction in the visible signs of skin aging, thus validating its anti-aging effectiveness.
3. Sculpts and smoothes facial contours
The methodical use of Gua-sha on the face reveals an ability to improve the definition of contours, providing a more regular and youthful appearance to the skin's surface.
4. Natural Radiance and Glow Booster
By clearing underlying energetic blocks, Gua-sha presents itself as an authenticated way to restore the skin's natural radiance, reducing visible signs of fatigue and stress.
5. Promotes the penetration of care
We recommend using your Gua-Sha in the evening, at the end of your beauty routine, by applying your Intense Regenerating Night Serum . The Gua-sha massage allows a more intense penetration of your evening treatment, to increase its effects tenfold.
5-Step Scientific Protocol for Optimal Gua-sha Application
Step 1: Skin Preparation
Begin the process by thoroughly cleansing the face and applying the Intense Regenerating Night Serum to optimize skin receptivity.
Step 2: Optimal Angle for Collagen Stimulation
Hold the Gua-sha at a precise angle of 15 to 45 degrees to maximize collagen stimulation, ensuring results without discomfort.
Step 3: From the neck to the forehead
Start with the neck, then carefully perform the Gua-sha on the face, meticulously following the contours, targeting areas prone to wrinkles for an effective boost to skin firmness.
Step 4: Slow Movements for Optimal Smoothing
Apply slow and precise movements, concentrating the efforts on the areas sensitive to wrinkles and fine lines as well as on the edges of the face. The idea is to stimulate your facial muscles but also your circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Step 5: Applying a Collagen-Rich Moisturizer
Conclude the session by applying another dose of your Night Serum or your anti-wrinkle treatment to seal the benefits of the Gua-sha and already admire the glow that your massage session has given you! The features are smoothed, the face relaxed and ready to regenerate during your sleep.
In conclusion, Gua-sha is the key to embracing a natural and effective method to reveal skin that is not only beautiful and stimulated.
