How to use my Gua Sha
Start at the forehead and move the Gua Sha in slow, upward strokes towards the hairline – this helps release tension. Then, move to the eye area and gently glide from the nose towards the temples to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Next, focus on the cheeks: work from the nose outward towards the ears to enhance your facial contours. For a defined jawline, place the Gua Sha at the chin and glide it towards the ear – it feels so refreshing!
