ICYMI, team Zove loves to gua sha. We have good reason to love it too - why would you not when these are the actual results of a consistent gua sha routine?!

If there’s one thing we love even more than our gua sha routines it’s getting a gua sha facial. Because it’s nice to get pampered by a professional once in a while. 

Now Zovers, if you’re anything like us - and we have a strong feeling you are - you will also enjoy getting a gua sha facial. It’s the perfect way to relax and unwind as we get back into our regular routines, and a way to elevate your usual gua sha routine.

So where exactly does one go to get a gua sha facial? As always, we’ve got you covered when it come to your skincare needs. 

Here’s your go-to list of the BEST spots in Australia to enjoy a gua sha facial.
