  • Bian Stone: Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, believed to retain heat and emit far-infrared rays.
  • Jade: Cooling and calming, ideal for puffy or inflamed skin.
  • Rose Quartz: Known for its soothing energy and gentle glide.

Top UK brands include Beauty Pie, Goop (available through UK retailers), and sustainable options like Herbivore Botanicals. Choose a tool with ergonomic curves that fit the jaw, cheek, and eye contours.

Final Thoughts

Facial Gua Sha isn’t a miracle cure, but when practiced consistently, it can complement a healthy skincare routine. For British women seeking natural, low-tech ways to enhance their glow, reduce tension, and slow signs of ageing, Gua Sha offers a mindful, science-supported ritual that’s as therapeutic as it is transformative.
