Prepare Your Workspace

Find a clean, well-lit space where you can comfortably sit or lie down. Lay out your clean towel and the Gua Sha stone.

Apply Oil

Using your fingertips, apply the oil mixture to your face, ensuring even coverage and allowing the oil to absorb slightly.

Start Gua Sha

Hold the Gua Sha stone at a 15-30 degree angle to your skin. Begin at the center of your forehead and stroke upwards towards your hairline.

5

Forehead

Use long, sweeping motions from the center of your forehead to the temples, repeating 5-7 times.

Cheeks

Move to the cheeks and use the stone to glide from the nose outward towards the ears. Repeat 5-7 times on each side.

7

Jawline

From the chin, move the stone along the jawline towards the ears, repeating 5-7 times on each side.

Neck

Finish by gliding the stone down the neck, from the chin to the collarbone, repeating 5-7 times.
