Gua Sha Facial Massage Routine for Relaxation and Anti-Aging

Preparation and Fundamentals00:00:00

Begin with a clean face and facial oil for glide. Contrary to popular belief, it is recommended to keep the Gua Sha tool warm rather than cold. Clean the tool with warm water and soap before and after use. Aim for five repetitions per step, applying gentle pressure and moving upwards to fight gravity.

Neck and Jawline Sculpting00:00:43

Start at the shoulders, moving upwards with a wiggle at the end to relieve tension. For the neck, glide from the collarbone toward the jawline. For the jaw, hold the chin for support and glide the flat tool toward the ears, ensuring the tool remains flat against the skin to avoid irritation.

Cheeks, Nose, and Eye Area00:03:49

Depuff the cheeks by gliding the tool from the smile line to the ears. Around the nose and eye area, use extreme caution and gentle pressure. Wiggling the tool near the brow bone in this area can help relieve headaches.

Brow Bone and Forehead00:05:47

Support the center of the brow with fingers and glide the tool along the bone toward the temples. Continue to the forehead using five swipes for each section to promote relaxation.

Final Jawline Definition00:12:53

Conclude the session with a final pass on the jawline, dragging the tool from the chin to the ears and down the neck to finish. Practice deep breathing and stretching to maximize the relaxation effect.
