-----------------
Most common asked questions:

Does it really work?
- The results of this practice vary, as it focuses on de-puffing and draining fluid from your face to give a more sculpted appearance. Some individuals may experience more noticeable results if they naturally have puffiness due to water retention from various health reasons. However, it's important to note that this practice does not "move fat" or alter your bone structure. Besides the cosmetic benefits, there are also meditation and mindfulness advantages to doing this, leaving you feeling relaxed and grounded afterward. I always hope that viewers can appreciate this aspect as well.

Upwards motion or downwards motion on the neck?
- When performing lymphatic drainage, it's best to massage downwards. On the other hand, for anti-aging purposes, massaging upwards (working against gravity) is recommended. However, it's essential to remember that massages are versatile and not one-size-fits-all. These videos are designed to be easy for viewers to follow along, but you can always customise the massage to your preferences. Always listen to your body and pay attention to how it feels.

Do you have to use face oil?
- No, it's not necessary to use a face oil, but it's recommended to use at least a moisturiser or something that provides a slippery surface to work on. This helps prevent tugging and dragging on your skin during the massage.

What oil am I using?
- These are the oils I have used throughout my videos. For reference I have dry sensitive skin. Khiels Sativa Hemp Seed oil, The Ordinary Rose Hip Seed Oil & Elf’s All the Feels Facial Oil.

Which Gua Sha tool is best? Jade or Rose quartz?
- In my personal opinion, it doesn't really matter which stone you use as long as it is smooth and free of scratches or bumps. Some people believe in crystal healing, and if you subscribe to that belief, then the choice of stones might matter more. However, if the purpose is solely for de-puffing the face, any smooth stone should be sufficient for the job.

What is better? Jade roller or Gua Sha stone?
- It depends on your preferences and needs. Jade rollers are great for rolling in skincare products, especially when used over a sheet mask. They can also be a better option if you have joint issues and find it challenging to use a Gua Sha stone. Personally, I enjoy Gua Sha more because it feels like a massage, and the wiggles at the end provide tension relief.

I initially began doing face Gua Sha for cosmetic purposes, aiming to achieve a more 'snatched' appearance. However, I soon realized that the meditation and mindfulness aspect of the practice was more beneficial to me. Moving forward, that's what I want to focus on. Thank you for following along with me.

I've searched all over youtube for Gua sha videos to follow along with no interruptions. Yours are the BEST. I come back time after time to follow along. You respect the viewer and give them space. The bell for switching is fantastic. Thank you so much for your work.

[Danielle.Escocio]

[Morticia]

I've been using the Gua Sha for 2 weeks & I'm already seeing improvements. I've been doing it 4 times a week. I always follow along with you because it's more peaceful. Thanks Tina!

[blancaguerrero]

The reason because I'm subscribing is because I love her RESULTS, I love how peacefully the MUSIC plays in the background, I love how clean and simple the background DECOR is helping me focus on her gentile MOVEMENTS. This was the PERFECT morning routine I was looking for. Thank you, Tina Engeo, for this graceful demonstration. From a simple Mexican mom over worked and no time for myself, found myself in a bad car accident and GOD gifted me alone time for me to recover and this is a gift for my down time recovery. A huge thank you and may you have continued success!

Whenever I have a tension headache it affects my sinuses so much. Every time it happens I come to this video and after I feel soooo much better and usually the headache is gone. Amazing. Thank you!!!

[sylviajerjerian]

Thank you again!! I've gotten a cold so I came to see if you made videos on gua sha for lymphatic drainage too and you did!!! Yay! I love following along it's so peaceful

[tiffanywilliams]

I am new Gua sha and found your tutorials so relaxing and the best out there. They are so good I have done them everyday for a few weeks. I am addicted and I actually have friends and family asking me if I have lost weight. Thank you for showing me and countless others how to de-puff and drain the lymphatic system. I only wish I would have found you earlier. Thank you so much❤

[gvh]

Love this! You’re wonderful! Would love a sinus pressure or nasal drainage guide for allergies 🤧

[MrsSheffield]

This video is THE BEST video on YT for this! I’ve searched and searched, and it paid off to keep searching! Thank you so much for a perfect routine, no talking, beautiful relaxing music, it’s absolutely PERFECT!

I absolutely love this video! I've been sick this entire week with the flu and just yesterday thought to use my gua sha stone. Found your video and today there was so much difference in how I felt🥰 definitely gonna come back❤️

[jacksaintjack]

As the comments say below, yes, you are the best. I love your calm facial expression and the slow methodical way you demonstrate the proper way to Gua Sha. I must confess that your demonstration not only enhances my appearance considerably, but also calms my mind to the point I get very sleepy. Perhaps people who have trouble getting to sleep at night should do this just before bedtime.

[daniellemelendez]

Best demonstration with not too much sound for my adhd. Absolutely perfect tutorial with perfect melody and sound bath

[OfficialLadyChizzy]

Thank you for this easy to follow video, no time wasting, straight to business. I love using this video for my facial sessions. Thank you so much

[LizOwen-vq]

Excellent! Thank you so much. I recently had surgery for a facial abscess, and this technique is excellent for helping to heal.

[igivelife]

Literally did this while nursing my newborn . Thank you ❤

[sariavila]

Your tutorials are the best✨✨✨ At first, I was interested in the benefits of lymphatic drainage and of course, improving the appearance of the skin. But the peaceful music and just everything in your videos, makes it so much easier to enter in a mindful state and I just LOVE ITTT. My head just gets to another place and I’ve even noticed I get inspired and creative more easily. It’s becoming mi favorite part of the day. Thank you ❤️

Also.. is lymphatic drainage better at morning or at night?
And could I do gua sha for sculpting in the morning and lymphatic drainage at night? Or is it too much?

[alisaryseva]

when is it better to do do lymphatic massage and when is it better to do sculpting? If i wanna do massage twice a day, which should i do in the morning and which before sleep?

[well]

Hi I absolutely adore your gua sha videos and recommend you to all of my friends. I was so excited to see your new video I love the music and the background and you are just such an amazing teacher your inner radiance shines through istg. One thing I’ve been wondering about is the importance of holding a finger on your chin or in the middle of your eyebrows as you say for support. Sometimes while I am doing gua sha i feel like I have limited shoulder and wrist mobility which affects my positioning of my tool. Any advice would be so appreciated. Thank 💕💕💕💕💕

[meowtwo]

Your videos are incredible. Thank you. One question though, what’s the best way to clean our tools - like the Gua sha, jade rollers, ice globes, etc? Simple water and soap?
