This little tool can chisel your facial features, de-puff your eyes and increase skin brightness.
It is also the perfect tool to aid in lymphatic drainage and also release fascia, so it doubles up to help alleviate neck pain and muscle tension.
Originally used for the body, the treatment has been adapted with a gentler gliding technique for the face.
TIPS, TRICKS + PROTOCOLS FROM OUR SPA
GUA SHA GLOW FACIAL
First wash your face with our GENTLE CLEANSER
After cleansing and apply a large pea size amount of our PROTECT OIL on face AND neck
In general, always glide up, out and down, ending at the lymphatic tissue located at the clavicle (collar bone).
- Begin with long, sweeping and gentle upward strokes from the bottom of the neck to the jawline; from the chin to the ear; from the cheekbone to the outer corner of the eyes; from in between the eyebrows to the temples.
- Using shorter and more vigorous (yet still gentle!) strokes, focus on fine lines, wrinkles and frown lines by crossing over them vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Some suggested areas include the “11’s” in between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines around the mouth, upper lip wrinkles and the lips themselves.
- For puffiness under the eyes, gently sweep the Gua Sha from the inner eye to the outer eye area, repeating until the appearance of puffiness is reduced.
Gua sha can be performed every day, but work your way up slowly from once a week.
