Face Gua-Sha: how to use it properly to drain and sculpt your features

A puffy face upon waking, bags under the eyes, and a tired look staring back at you in the mirror even before your first coffee — this is often a sign of sluggish circulation and lymphatic drainage during the night. The Gua-Sha, an ancestral technique combined here with a drainage roller, addresses this problem directly.

What is Gua-Sha and what is it used for?

A Gua-Sha is a flat stone, usually heart-shaped, which is glided over the skin with light pressure. When paired with a roller, the movement activates microcirculation and facial drainage, and helps redefine contours — cheekbones, jawline, and the oval of the face — from the very first uses.

How to use it properly

First, apply an oil or cream to help it glide over the skin — using it on dry skin can pull and irritate. Use the roller from the center of the face outwards, then use the heart-shaped Gua-Sha to sculpt the contours, always with gentle, upward movements (never downwards, as this risks promoting sagging rather than fighting it).

Maintenance and precautions

Clean the tool after each use with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Natural stone can crack if dropped: careful storage will extend its lifespan. The Belliska Gua-Sha and Facial Roller is available in 4 colors — pink, white, black, jade green.

On its own or as part of a complete routine?

The Gua-Sha is an excellent starting point for a facial routine, available individually for €19.99. Combined with the LED Face Sculptor (firming) and the Collagen Mask (hydration) in the Belliska Ritual for €79.99, it completes a three-step routine designed to drain, firm, and hydrate.
