Before you massage your face with the Gua Sha, it is wise to activate your lymph nodes so that blood circulation gets started. You do this by moving the Gua Sha stone from your collarbones to your jaw. Repeat this step 10 times and then it’s time to really start!
Step 1: The Gua Sha glides more easily over your skin when you use a fine oil or serum.
Step 2: Use the V-shaped side of the Gua Sha to massage your jawline. Work from your chin towards your ears, following the shape of your jaw.
Step 3 & 4: Massage over your cheekbones with the long, curved side of the Gua Sha. You do this from your nose towards your ear, following the bone. You can massage the rest of your cheek in the same direction.
Step 5: Time to get rid of your bags! Use the short, convex side of the Gua Sha to massage the skin under your eyes. Also work from the inside out.
Step 6: Last but not least: time for your forehead and temples! For this you use the long, straight side of the Gua Sha.
When using a Gua Sha, always make sure that you place the stone on your skin at a 45 degree angle. If you use the stone perpendicularly, the action is too hard. Never press the stone too hard on your skin! It is normal for your skin to turn red after using the Gua Sha, but the massage should not be painful.
