TUTORIALS
Every ritual in our spa begins with skilled hands, intentional movement, and an understanding of how circulation, fascia, and lymphatic flow shape the skin.
LEARN THE TECHINIQUES BEHIND THE RESULTS
These tutorials translate that knowledge—normally reserved for the treatment room—into simple, elegant techniques you can practice at home.
Our tools are designed to feel intuitive and luxurious, but their effectiveness comes from method, not pressure. These videos guide you through each movement with clarity, helping you build a consistent ritual that supports long-term skin health—enhancing absorption, improving flow, and nurturing the skin’s natural balance.
Whether you choose facial cupping, gua sha, or both, these rituals complement your skincare—not compete with it—creating a lifted, refreshed, well-cared-for complexion.
Sculpt, de-puff, and energize the skin—safely and effectively
FACIAL CUPPING TUTORIAL
Facial cupping is one of the most transformative techniques we use in the spa for its ability to lift the facial contours, revitalize circulation, and support lymphatic drainage without stressing the skin. When performed correctly, the gentle vacuum effect increases nutrient delivery, reduces stagnation, and enhances the penetration of your skincare.
This tutorial demonstrates:
- How to prepare the skin for optimal glide
- Why gliding motions are essential (never stationary cupping on the face)
- How to sequence strokes to reduce puffiness and sculpt the contours
- How to adapt pressure for the jaw, cheeks, and forehead
Perfect before an event, after travel, or whenever the skin feels tired or sluggish.
FACIAL CUPPING TUTORIAL
Restore flow, release tension, and refine the complexion
GUA SHA TUTORIAL
Gua sha is both a facial massage and a structural tool—used to release muscle tension, refine facial lines, and encourage lymphatic and microcirculatory flow. In our spa, it is foundational to no-tox lifting and relaxation protocols.
This tutorial teaches:
- Correct angles, speed, and pressure
- How to follow your natural bone structure for maximum effect
- Techniques to soften jaw tension, brow strain, and stagnation
- How to pair gua sha with serums and oils for ideal glide and deeper absorption
A grounding ritual that improves both skin vitality and nervous-system calm.
