The term “gua sha” recently hit my radar when I saw people on TikTok using a special tool and technique in their skincare routines that seemed to make their skin look younger and more radiant. I learned that gua sha is a Chinese medicine practice that uses a smooth edged tool to gently scrape the skin to improve circulation and promote healing. While it can be used on the face, it is not limited to that area.
BEB Organic actually offers a Gua Sha set designed for both mom and baby. It comes with a specialized heart shaped rose quartz gua sha tool, a bottle of Nurturing Oil and a 38 page guide. Apply the Nurturing Oil all over the face, body, and scalp to calm & smooth the skin. Use the Rose Quartz Gua Sha stone to gently massage all over.
For baby, gua sha massage is all about relaxing and bonding. Extra gentle comforting pressure calms and soothes baby and helps baby connect with parent.
For mom, research has shown that gua sha can help with challenges during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Gua sha massage can help prevent stretch marks, help with c-section scars, engorged breasts, muscle aches and pains, and sleep concerns to name a few.
The Nurturing Oil that comes with the kit not only helps the gua sha stone glide over the skin but deeply moisturizes it too! This organic nutrient rich oil is made with wildcrafted natural ingredients including sunflower, coconut, cranberry and rosehip that calms and replenishes the skin. It’s free from synthetic fragrances and dyes and can be used on the face, body and scalp. I really like the way this makes my skin feel. It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave my skin feeling all greasy. I love that it comes in a pump bottle for easy dispensing too!
I don’t have any babies to try this on anymore but would have loved to receive this as a gift when I was pregnant or after I had given birth. The heart shaped tool and the packaging are adorable and perfect for gifting to any expectant mother. You can find out more about BEB Organics and these products at www.beborganic.com.
