Skincare expert shares her 'secret' for youthful looks – and it’s pain-free

We all want to be proud of our age, but for many of us, keeping our youthful glow for as long as possible is a must.

Many skin care treatments that claim to halt the ageing process cost a fortune or involve painful surgical procedures that most of us don’t really want to put ourselves through – but one skincare expert might have just saved us the hassle.

Abby, who posts on TikTok under the username @beautycarebyabby, receives multiple comments from her 19.4k followers asking her for the secret to her flawless complexion and she’s now spilt the beans on the process.

The woman said the key is a simple facial massage that she claims is an anti-ager – and all you need is a special tool known as a Gua Sha stone.

In a video that shows Abby dragging the tool across her cheeks, the beauty expert wrote: “Gua Sha facial massage. Tightens your facial muscles, lifts the skin, and assists with lymphatic drainage.”

And people in the comments of Abby’s video couldn’t get enough of the simple hack, as they marvelled at her flawless skin.

One person wrote: “Oh my god, your skin is so f***ing beautiful! I need this.”

The Gua Sha process is said to help reduce puffiness and help circulation (@beautycarebyabby/TikTok)

While another said: “Thank you! I need a good tutorial.”

Elsewhere in the comments, Abby responded to one user who asked for more information about which products they should use on their face alongside the Gua Sha stone.

She said: “Use any facial oil or massaging cream.”

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicine practice, in which a smooth-edged tool known as a Gua Sha stone is used to improve circulation, stimulate blood flow, and drain any puffiness to the face through lymphatic drainage.

And other commenters backed Abby’s claims, as they advocated for using the tool “every single day” for great results.

Someone said: “I use mine every single day and I can notice now when I don’t do it, helps so much with drainage and retaining fluids in the face!”

As another person wrote: “I have one! It’s amazing!”

While someone else added: “I love my stone.”
