There’s something magical about how small rituals—done with intention—can transform how we look, feel, and connect with ourselves.
If you’re someone who craves not just results but ritual, it’s time to reimagine your nighttime skincare with a practice that’s been around for thousands of years: gua sha.
💫 What Makes a Gua Sha Ritual So Powerful?
Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, gua sha isn't just about sculpting and lifting. It’s about supporting your body’s natural detox process through gentle lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness, boosting circulation, and relieving tension that we hold—especially in the jaw, neck, and temples.
🌿 The Oil That Makes All the Difference
One of the most overlooked parts of an effective gua sha practice? The right oil. And not all facial oils are created equal.
Enter: Beyond Chi’s Intensive Repair Bloom Oil — a luxurious, herbal-infused formula that’s as nourishing for your skin as it is calming for your senses.
Made with:
-
Perilla Seed Oil: calms inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier
-
Sea Buckthorn Oil: rich in vitamins A and E to support repair
-
Goji Berry Oil: energizes skin and boosts elasticity
-
Magnolia & Rose Oils: add softness, glow, and emotional calm
Unlike other oils that may clog pores or sting near the eyes, this formula is lightweight, eye-safe, and non-comedogenic—making it perfect for full-face gua sha and even your nighttime massage routine.

Start by prepping your lymph nodes—gently massage your armpits, under jawline, and collarbones.
-
Apply 1–2 dropperfuls of oil to clean skin.
-
Use upward and outward motions from your jawline, cheeks, brow, and forehead—10 gentle strokes per section.
-
Breathe deeply. Let your body know it’s safe to slow down.
-
Leave the oil on overnight for deep repair and hydration.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just skincare. It’s self-connection.
As a former beauty editor and now digital strategist, I’ve tested hundreds of skincare rituals—but what Beyond Chi has created is something deeper. It’s a return to rhythm, to ancient wisdom, to intention.
Whether you’re looking to calm your nervous system before bed, wake up less puffy, or simply add more joy to your routine—this ritual delivers on all fronts.
Final Thoughts:
Small moments. Big transformation.
With the right oil and a few intentional strokes, your skin—and your soul—will thank you.
