Icelandic skincare innovation meets traditional Chinese medicine with the Blue Lagoon Skincare Gua Sha Tool. Gua sha is one of the oldest recorded forms of traditional Chinese medicine, designed to promote energy flow and blood circulation. Originally used for body treatments, it has been adapted for the face and neck as a way to help reduce puffiness, relieve tension, sculpt facial muscles, and encourage blood flow.

Meet The Blue Lagoon Gua Sha

Our Gua Sha Tool is made from natural jade and designed for optimal use:

• Flat side: Best for broad areas like the forehead and cheeks.
• Notched edge: Ideal for contouring along the jawline and cheekbones.
• Pointed edge: Perfect for acupressure points and delicate areas near the eyes. 

When incorporated into your daily skincare routine, gua sha can enhance your skin’s natural radiance while offering a mindful self-care moment. Below, discover how to use the Blue Lagoon Gua Sha Tool for the best results. 

How To Use the Blue Lagoon Skincare Gua Sha Tool

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

Proper preparation is key to ensure the tool glides smoothly across your skin. Start with a freshly cleansed face, then apply either:

• BL+ The Serum for intense hydration and barrier support.
• Algae Bioactive Concentrate Face Oil for deep nourishment.
• Layering both for enhanced benefits and a luxurious feel.

Step 2: Follow These Gua Sha Techniques

For each step, use three to five strokes, always moving upward and outward to promote lymphatic drainage and lifting effects. Hold the gua sha tool at a 30-45 degree angle and apply gentle pressure.

• Neck: Start at the base of your neck and glide the flat side upward toward your jawline. This motion helps stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce tension.
• Jawline: Place the notched side of the tool at the center of your chin and sweep along your jawline toward your ears to define and sculpt.
• Cheeks: Using the flat side, move the tool from the side of your nose toward your temples to lift and depuff.
• Under Eyes: With the smaller edge, gently glide from the inner corner of your eye outward toward your temple. Be extra delicate in this sensitive area.
• Forehead: Start at the center of your forehead and stroke outward toward your hairline to smooth and relax the skin.

Step 3: Clean Your Tool

After each use, wash your Gua Sha with mild soap and water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
