• Cleanse your skin and apply a facial oil.
• Start with one side of the face, apply 3-5 strokes per area and once you have finished one side of the face, move onto the other side.
• Neck: use the long flat edge of the Gua Sha tool and pull it upwards to the jawline. This will encourage a fresh flow of blood to the face ready to start the treatment.
• Jawline: use the medium round indents and pull the Gua Sha tool along the jaw, moving from the chin to the ear.
• Cheeks: use the long flat edge and pull the Gua Sha tool from the nose to the ear.
• Undereye: use the medium round end and press it flat under your eye. Use a gentle rolling and pumping action, moving from the inner eye to the outer eye.
• Brow: use the serrated edge and pull from the inside brow to the outside.
• Forehead: use the serrated edge, hold the tool at a perpendicular angle to the skin and rub the pointed edge vertically across any forehead lines.
• Hairline: use the serrated edge and comb through the hairline.
• Finish by pulling the long flat edge down the neck, under the ears, to encourage lymphatic drainage.
TIPS
• Always clean the Gua Sha tool before and after use with a mild cleanser.
• Apply a facial oil or serum before using the tool to maintain enough slip on the skin. The Gua Sha tool should not drag or catch on the skin.
• Pull the Gua Sha tool along your skin, rather than push against it.
• Use the Gua Sha tool at a flat/blunt angle – with one finger width between the tool and your skin – and apply light pressure.

• Everyone’s face is different, so use the edge of the tool that feels good to you.
• Have fun! The more you use your Gua Sha tool, the more intuitive it will become.
