Gua sha is an ancient facial massage practice that has become a modern self-care ritual. With just a few gentle strokes, it helps skin look brighter, more lifted, and less puffy, all in about five minutes.
What You'll Need
- Heart-Shaped Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool: its curves fit the jaw, cheekbones, and brow.
- Contour Face Massage Brush: an optional warm-up that wakes up the skin.
- A clean base: start with the Hyaluronic Acid Gel Cleanser or the Hypochlorous Acid Face Cleanser.
- A face oil or serum so the tool glides without tugging.
The 5-Minute Ritual
- Cleanse and prep. Wash your face, then apply a few drops of oil or serum.
- Neck first. Sweep the tool downward along each side of the neck to encourage drainage.
- Jawline. Using the notched edge, glide from your chin out toward your ear, 5 to 10 times per side.
- Cheeks. Hold the tool almost flat, at about 15 degrees, and sweep from your nose out toward your hairline.
- Under the eyes. Use the lightest pressure and glide from the inner corner outward.
- Brow and forehead. Sweep upward from the brows toward the hairline.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep the pressure light to medium. Glowing skin is the goal, not redness.
- Always move up and out, then finish with downward strokes along the neck.
- Chill your tool for an extra de-puffing effect in the morning.
- Practice 3 to 5 times a week for the most visible results.
