Celebrities Who Use Gua Sha

Did you know “gua sha” means “scraping the pain away” in English? This ancient and natural Chinese technique involves scraping the person’s skin with a smooth-edged massage tool through short and long strokes to improve blood circulation. It’s a healing technique that offers a unique approach to better health, addressing stagnant energy in the body called, “chi,” that causes chronic pain.

More than that, gua sha has become an at-home skincare technique to help keep one’s skin fresh, youthful, and blooming, thus many celebrities have decided to adopt this Chinese technique.

Here are some of the top celebrities that use gua sha:

 

1. Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) seeks the help of Georgia Louise, an aesthetician and La Mer global skincare advisor, to get her skin ready, and part of her skincare routine is using gua sha. After the application of La Mer The Renewal Oil, her aesthetician uses a gua sha tool to help brighten and detox the actress’ skin.

 

2. Jennifer Aniston
