GUA SHA TUTORIAL 


Our step-by-step tutorial on how to use a gua sha for facial massage effectively. 



What You’ll Need

• Gua sha tool

• Facial oil or moisturizer (to reduce friction)

• Clean face and hands


Step 1: Prep Your Skin

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face to avoid pushing dirt or bacteria into your skin.

2. Apply Facial Oil: Apply a generous amount of facial oil, serum, or moisturizer to help the gua sha glide smoothly across your skin.


Step 2: Hold the Gua Sha Tool Properly

• Hold the gua sha at about a 15-30° angle to your face. It should lie almost flat against your skin to avoid tugging.


Step 3: Start Massaging (Use Light Pressure)


1. Neck

• Purpose: Prepares lymphatic drainage pathways.

• Start at the base of your neck, gently glide upward to your jawline. Repeat 5-10 times on each side.


2. Jawline

• Place the gua sha in the notch of the tool (if it has one).

• Start from the center of your chin and glide outward along your jawline to your ear. Repeat 5-10 times on each side.


3. Cheeks

• Use the flat edge of the gua sha.

• Start at the side of your nose and glide outward across your cheekbones toward your hairline. Repeat 5-10 times on each side.


4. Under-Eyes

• Use the smaller edge.

• Start at the inner corner of your eye and glide gently outward toward your temple. The pressure should be very light. Repeat 5-10 times on each side.


5. Forehead

• Use the flat edge.

• Start at the middle of your forehead and glide outward toward your temples. Repeat 5-10 times.

• Then, glide upward from your eyebrows to your hairline.


6. Nose

• Use a smaller edge if available.

• Glide upward from the tip of your nose to between your eyebrows.


Step 4: Clean Your Gua Sha Tool

• Wash the tool with warm soapy water after each use to prevent bacteria buildup.


Tips for Best Results

• Use the gua sha 3-4 times a week for visible improvements.

• Be gentle; gua sha should not hurt or bruise your skin.

• Always work in upward and outward strokes to promote lifting and lymphatic drainage.
