Gua Sha tools have been gaining popularity and with more skincare enthusiasts trying these beauty tools, it’s important to understand how to care for them properly. Here’s your easy guide on how to clean a gua sha tool at home.
Follow these simple steps to clean your gua sha
- Fill a bowl with some water. You can use room temperature or lukewarm water
- Dip the Gua Sha in the water for a minute to loosen up any oil or serum build up on the surface
- Next, take your daily facial cleanser and clean the Gua Sha using your fingertips. Massage the cleanser well and ensure you cover all the notches and surfaces.
- Rinse the Gua Sha off thoroughly with water till there is no soap left
- Rest the Gua Sha on a towel to dry before storing it in its box
If you are washing your gua sha in the sink, put down a towel inside the sink to create some padding. Then you can repeat the above steps. I recommend putting a towel in the sink because in case the gua sha tool slips from your fingers, it won’t hit the sink bowl and chip 🙂 Trust me, it’s happened to me a few times!
Cleaning a gua sha the natural way
If you’re someone who loves all things natural, here’s how you can clean your gua sha tool naturally. Salt water is known to be a powerful natural cleanser and is great at removing impurities – be that energetic or physical.
- If you’re doing this at home, take a bowl of lukewarm water and add some salt instead of a cleanser.
- If you want to go the all-natural way and live close to the sea, head on over there and gently hold your gua sha in your hands under the waves. The salt water will be a beautiful cleanse your tool
