How to Use a Gua Sha: A 5-Minute Evening Self-Care Ritual
Share
Gua sha is a facial massage technique that uses a smooth, shaped tool glided across the skin. It's become a favorite way to slow down and relax at the end of the day.
Step 1: Start with clean skin
Wash your face and pat dry.
Step 2: Add face oil or serum
The tool should glide, never drag. A few drops of face oil or serum gives it slip.
Step 3: Work upward and outward
Hold the tool flat against your skin and glide gently upward along your neck, then outward along your jaw and cheeks. Repeat each stroke 3 to 5 times.
Step 4: Keep the pressure light
Gentle is the goal. It should feel relaxing, never painful.
Step 5: Make it a habit
Five minutes each evening becomes a calming signal that your day is done.
