I had the chance of being one of the first people to trial the new Hayo’u Method bespoke Gua Sha crystal facial masterclass at their studio in Notting Hill.
The whole experience left me feeling very relaxed, super glowy and really light, like I spent an hour meditating! Head facialist for the brand, Katie Blake talked me through every technique that can then be used with the tools at home. Not to mention she gave me pronounced cheekbones, lifted face and glowy skin!
Here’s my impressive below and after! I think it’s obvious I’m less puffy, skin is more awake and clearer. I also noticed the redness from the spots had gone down, and I didn’t do anything else that was different!
The plumpness is also obvious, my skin looked and felt so smooth!
I’ve written about gua sha and The Hayo’u brand for a piece I did on Huff Post US, which you can read here. For that piece I had spoken to the founder of the brand Katie Brindle who is a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. I’ve tried to explain her mission as well as I could in my piece so please read it if you want to know more about gua sha!
After my facial, I felt I was even more knowledgable than before on the gua sha massage techniques so I wanted to film a video explaining how to do it at home. I was buying the tools from the brand way before I spoke to Katie for my article, and though some of the tools I currently own were gifted from the brand, I have purchased the rest myself. I’m a big fan of theirs!
Watch my video below on my IGTV talking through all the different techniques and tools and let me know if you have any questions.
