Ceramic
The ceramic Gua Sha is a beauty tool that combines the benefits of traditional Chinese Gua Sha with the properties of ceramic. Here are some of the specific benefits of ceramic Gua Sha for the skin:
-
Natural cooling : Ceramic has the ability to remain naturally cool, which feels pleasant on the skin, especially for reducing under-eye bags or soothing irritated skin. In fact, the ceramic Gua Sha helps reduce skin inflammation, thus calming redness and irritation.
-
Durability : Ceramic is a durable and resistant material, which means that a ceramic beauty tool can have a long lifespan.
-
Hygiene : ceramic is relatively easy to clean and disinfect, making it a good choice in terms of hygiene.
Quartz:
-
Crystal energy: Some users believe that quartz, especially rose quartz, has energetic properties that are beneficial for the skin and overall well-being.
-
Color variation : Quartz is available in a variety of colors, which can make the beauty tool more aesthetically appealing.
-
Smooth gliding : Quartz has a smooth surface that can glide easily over the skin, which can be appreciated when using facial massage techniques.
It's important to note that the tool's effectiveness depends largely on how it's used, the massage techniques applied, and the consistency of use. Some people prefer the natural cooling of ceramic, while others prefer the purported energetic properties of quartz.
