Looking to take your skincare routine to the next level?
Say hello to Gua Sha!
This ancient Chinese practice has been revered for centuries for its ability to promote circulation, relieve tension, and enhance the natural radiance of your skin.
In this post, we'll guide you through a simple Gua Sha routine that will leave your skin feeling rejuvenated and glowing. Let's dive in!
Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin
Start by thoroughly cleansing your face to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type and rinse with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Step 2: Apply Facial Oil or Serum + Moisturizer
Next, apply a few drops of your favourite facial oil or serum + Moisturizer to provide some glide for the Gua Sha tool and deep nourishment for your skin. Choose oils rich in antioxidants and hydrating ingredients for maximum benefits.
Step 3: Prep Your Gua Sha Tool
Choose a Gua Sha tool made from jade, rose quartz, or another smooth stone. Hold the tool at a 15-degree angle to your skin and gently glide it across your face to familiarize yourself with its shape and pressure.
Step 4: Chin To Ear (Move to Your Jawline)
Start at your chin and glide outwards to the ear. Gently massage at the end to help release jaw tension.
Step 5: Outer Nose To Ear (Sculpt Your Cheeks)
Start from outer part of nose, glide outwards towards the bottom of the ear, to target the cheeks.
Step 6: Inner Eye To Temple (Brighten Your Under-Eye Area)
From under eye glide from inner corner of eye to temple. Repeat from above the brow, towards temple.
Step 7: Inner Eyebrow To Hairline (Finish with Your Forehead)
Lastly with the forehead. With the tool flat to the face, glide in an upward motion from eyebrow to hairline.
Step 8: Cleanse Your Gua Sha Tool
After each use, clean your Gua Sha tool with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any residue. Allow it to air dry before storing it in a clean, dry place.
Step 9: Hydrate and Protect
Finish your Gua Sha routine by applying your favourite sunscreen to protect your skin from damage.
