Thank you so much for joining my Gua Sha class!
Preparing Your Skin
Always begin with freshly cleansed skin.
Start by applying a very generous layer of facial mist to your face, neck and decolletage and massage into the skin.
Once your skin is damp, massage 1-3 drops of facial oil into your face and neck. Because your skin is damp you shouldn’t need too much oil.
The combination of facial mist and oil provides slip for your Gua Sha to glide along the skin and and prevent pulling or tugging.
If your skin feels dry throughout the treatment, reapply some facial mist to reactivate the facial oil.
Gua Sha Tips
Don’t perform Gua Sha on open wounds, broken skin, active acne or infections.
Skip Gua Sha if you’ve had recent injectables or cosmetic treatments. Check with your practitioner first.
You can practice Gua Sha in the morning or evening.
Always prep the skin first, never perform Gua Sha on dry skin.
Start with gentle pressure that feels good for you.
If you feel discomfort reduce the pressure.
Hold your Gua Sha at a 15-45 degree angle, using a sweeping motion.
Only scrape each area 5-10 times, doing it more can overstimulate the skin and cause inflammation.
Caring for Your Gua Sha Tool
Clean your Gua Sha by rinsing under water or in the ocean and then dry with a paper towel or a soft cloth.
Cleanse energetically by placing under moonlight or on a selenite plate.
Store in a dry, safe place - ideally keep it in the cotton dust bag to protect it from scratches and energy build up.
