Gua Sha Facial Lifting

A daily ritual is an act of self-care. Lately before bed I have been using a Black Obsidian Gun Sha after applying my nightly doTERRA Yarrow Pom.

Gua Sha has been practiced in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years to stimulate the lymphatic system and circulation of the face and neck, improving the skins radiance. In addition, Gua Sha-ing daily reduces puffiness, relieves facial/jaw tension and results in a firming and lifting effect.

How to use:

Wash face and prep skin using an oil or serum.

Beginning at the forehead, place the tools edge flat against the skin and scrape in an upward motion from the eyebrow to the hairline.

Move the the cheeks and scape in an outward motion from the nose to the ear.

Move to the jawline. Using the two curves, scrape from the chin to the ear, massaging the Gua Sha into the ear to release tension.

Tip: Use your fingertips of your other hand to hold the skin in place at the ‘beginning’ point of the scraping motion.
