  •  
  • Use a medium pressure and enough oil for your stone to glide effortlessly across the skin without tugging or pulling.
  • As the skin is stimulated it may get a little red. Don’t worry! It will quickly find its way to a natural glow.
  • For a pro-level treatment: Start by heating up your Gua Sha in warm water; the heat will enhance penetration of the serum. Finish with a cold Gua Sha, letting it sit in ice water for few minutes. The cold will close pores.
  • Practice your Gua Sha ritual regularly, 2-3 times weekly is recommended to get gorgeous results.
  • The more you Gua Sha, the more intuitive it becomes. Soon, you’ll be able to do it in front of the TV and won’t be able to live without it!
