Step by step guide on how to use your Gua Sha-
. Make sure that you have clean cleansed skin.
. Make sure that you moisture your skin with an oil or serum. This will prevent pulling on your skin and help create a perfect base for your Gua Sha.
. Begin to use your tool- Using the heart shaped edge for your jawline and under your eyes. The flat side for your cheeks and forehead.
. Make sure you're doing gentle upwards strokes and follow the facial structure (This only takes 5-15 mins)
. Make sure you clean your Gua Sha after use.
With regular use and consistency you should start to see a real difference within your skin. This shows that this method has been around for centuries for a reason and allows you to see results over time!
Do's and Don'ts-
. Always use a serum or oil and never on dry skin as it can cause friction rash and damage the skin.
. Always use the Gua Sha in an upward motion, never pulling downwards as this can damage the skin and cause unwanted wrinkles and lines.
