How do I use my Gua Sha?
Start at your forehead and gently glide the Gua Sha upwards toward your hairline—this helps release tension. Next, move to the eye area and sweep it carefully from your nose toward your temples to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
For your cheeks, work from the sides of your nose outward toward your ears to enhance your facial contours. To define your jawline, place the Gua Sha at your chin and glide it toward your ear—to feel refreshed!
Don’t forget your neck: use gentle, upward strokes to lift and smooth the skin.

A common mistake is applying too much pressure when using a Gua Sha stone. Gua Sha should always be done with a light touch to avoid damaging the skin or blood vessels. Another mistake is using it on dry skin, which can lead to irritation. Always apply a nourishing facial oil to ensure smooth gliding and prevent friction. Additionally, make sure to hold the Gua Sha stone at a shallow angle while moving it across the skin for the best results.
