    Follow these guided videos to learn simple Gua Sha techniques you can practice at home. When used gently and consistently, Gua Sha can help stimulate circulation, support lymphatic drainage and leave the skin looking refreshed and radiant.

    Before You Begin

    Cleanse your skin

    Apply facial oil or serum

    Hold the tool at a gentle angle

    Use light pressure only

    For lift & sculpt, move outward and upward

    For lymphatic drainage, sweep down the sides of the neck towards the lymph nodes by the armpits

    A Note on Pressure

    When using Gua Sha to reduce puffiness, lymphatic drainage is what's needed - and lymphatic drainage requires extremely light pressure. Do not press firmly into the face. Think of it as barely skimming the surface of the skin.
