Gua Sha
Scraping the face with a smooth stone tool to reduce puffiness. Temporary effect at best.
Gua sha uses a flat stone or metal tool moved across the skin, usually with oil. It can temporarily reduce morning puffiness by moving fluid, and many people find it relaxing. What it does not do is sculpt bone, remove fat or permanently define the jawline — claims you will see often. Treat it as a pleasant routine with a short-lived de-puffing effect.
It is heavily marketed for jawline definition, so it helps to separate the real (temporary de-puffing) from the hype.
- Morning puffiness

- That it permanently sculpts the jaw — effects are temporary.
- That it removes facial fat — it does not.
- Use gently with a slip agent if you enjoy it
- For real definition, address body composition and sleep
- Cut late salt and alcohol for less morning puffiness
- Cold water and good sleep reduce puffiness too
- Use gently with a slip agent if you enjoy it
