Which Essential Oils are our favorites for Gua Sha
The best oils and serums for gua sha are those that are packed with nutrients your skin needs to look and feel its best. Our favorite combination is found in our doTERRA Yarrow | Pom serum and essential oil.
The oil is perfectly balanced and gentle enough for the face, while being packed with punicic acid to protect the skin and promote collagen production.
The serum is created specifically for the body and contains powerful bioactive compounds to promote smooth, firm and luminous skin.
Both the serum and oil are great additions to a clean beauty routine with results you can see and feel thanks to their clean, natural, and carefully selected ingredients. We love them both for their gua sha specifically because they take time to slowly penetrate the skin, allowing the gua sha tool to glide easily across the body and helping nutrients to absorb throughout the massage.
When used in combination with rose quartz gua sha, these clean body care products will help you feel good about your skin care, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and achieve the full body glow you deserve.
Gua sha alone can offer decent results. But settling for mediocre isn't what any of us are looking for. Using the best products and the right techniques will lead to undeniable and amazing results that you wouldn't trade for anything. Armed with our Gua Sha Beauty Collection, you're sure to see the results you're looking for!
