Step by Step Guide to perform Gua Sha :

The Face

TO BEGIN

Following your usual skin care routine, apply a generous amount of facial oil or serum to your face and neck, gently massaging into the skin. Take a deep breath and drop into your practice, remember that this is a self loving and self nourishing practice that cultivates benefits far beyond one’s physical beauty.

STEP 1

Start your practice at the base of the neck, and beginning at the back, using the comb edge, perform upward strokes at a 35 degree angle and work around to the front. Place the tool just above the collarbone and gently sweep upwards.

STEP 2

Move your way up, under the chin and continue to glide the tool outward towards the bottom of the jawline. You can secure the skin at the front of your neck and tilt your head upwards to help you glide the Gua Sha upwards until you reach the base of your chin.

STEP 3

Using the U-shaped end of the Gua Sha tool (pointy end down), begin at the centre of the chin. Using your free hand, secure the skin next to the tool and begin to glide the stone from the chin, up along the jawline towards the jaw muscle. Then at the end of that stroke, follow the jawline to under the ear and twist the Gua Sha so you can use the smooth edge to stroke downwards from the bone below the ear, behind

the angle of the jaw.
