It is recommended to perform facial gua sha once every 5 to 8 days. Facial gua sha can achieve a face-lifting effect; during the procedure, it stimulates blood circulation within the skin, helping to reduce eye bags and dark circles. It also helps eliminate dullness and impurities from the skin, providing benefits such as skin whitening, removing or lightening pigmentation spots, minimizing pores, clearing blackheads, and regulating acne. Overall, it promotes detoxification, enhances complexion, and accelerates metabolism.
