Gwa Sha is a healing medical treatment that has been used for centuries throughout Asia. An implement is used to scrape the skin. Gwa means to scrape and Sha is the term for the red skin rash that results from the scraping. The redness is temporary and should disappear shortly.
Traditionally, spoons and coins are used. Scraping the skin helps encourage blood flow to the area, bringing nutrients to the skin and additionally promoting lymphatic drainage and toxin release. Collagen levels are boosted, resulting in a slimmer and firmer face.

I have been spooning my face daily for almost 2 weeks now and I do notice some differences. My face appears slightly lifted and the nasal labial folds and marionette lines are less prominent.The scraping actually exfoliates the skin and the effects are just like what you expect after a scrub - brighter and more even toned. Even the eye bags are less visible!
Do try this simple massage and let me know the results.
They need to show this with old people. They always do this with young people. I'm just saying.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
I'm going to try this! Its good to know you can see results since you've started it.

My mother didn't use spoons, but did do a routine every night before bed that included cream, and massaging the facial skin upwards for 10-15 minutes. It must have worked because everyone thought she looked 10-12 years younger than she was. :D
ReplyDeleteI need to do this -I also think I need to google marionette lines as I suspect I have them #globalblogging
ReplyDeleteOh wow I am intrigued.. it looks fascinating.. good to hear you have noticed a difference in only two weeks.

I agree with Sandee LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a spoontastic week :-)
I have nerver heard about this, but it looks amazing. I want to try this. Thanks for sharing. I follow you and I would be happy if you follow back :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
I heard about it before but never really tried it, Veronica. I guess it will be great to try it soon :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Will check it out!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm I agree with Sandee they really do need to use older models. I've never heard this one before, but I have my routine and I've been trying the Crepe Erase. So far it's done NOTHING and it really irks me that I fell for this.. well they say you can get your money back, so we'll see. Have a great day my friend! hugs
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting! It seems like a better option than the products I am using on my face. I will have to give this a try, especially for the uplifting part. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
ReplyDeleteOh very interesting

Really? I'm very skeptical as I usually fall for these things!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like rather a strange practice to me #GlobalBlogging
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post Thank you for linking to #Thatfridaylinky please come back next week
ReplyDeleteWell who'd have thought!? I am 37 and I still feel young but have noticed my skin is not as glowy as it once was. I must give the spoons a try. #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! Not heard of this before but glad working for you. Thanks for sharing with #bloggersbest x
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing! Maybe I should try this, thanks for sharing. I like the fact it doesn't cost anything! #kcacols
ReplyDeleteMaybe it works on an oilier skin, but as my skin is really dry I would be scared to do this. Interesting concept though! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteabsolutely need to try this! If it works on eye bags then that is a plus for me! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time!
ReplyDeleteAnything that helps drain the lymphatic system and release all those toxins is definitely good! #kcacols
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of this before, but hey it seems easy enough and absolutely free, so I may well try it out. Could do with firmer and fresher looking skin x

Ok, this looks a bit odd. Massaging myself with a spoon to make myself look younger? Sure. I'll give anything a go :D
