Daily Gua Sha Massage Routine | Follow Along Tutorial

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.

The fact that you jumped right in instead of talking about unnecessary shit for a thousand years just took away half of today's stress for me, thanks

[LyrasRaven]

Did this in the morning and and repeated the routine twice. I saw a big difference in my jawline! The front part of my cheeks right next to my nose and mouth were more defined. It just gets rid of all the puffiness!

[yayadrew]

The fact that you’ve taken the time to respond to most if not all the questions being asked is impressive.

[reenmicame]

just received my gua sha package today and I'm so glad I saw your video! definitely doing the routine tonight. your voice and the music is sooo relaxing

[rrosie.posiie]

I have almost always applied rosehip oil to my face at night anyways, so why not add a gua Shua in the application process! Day two for me now. Documenting the results for sure but so far it’s just a nice “me” time and focusing on myself in a nice way. I have BFRB so anything that is “nice” to my body is a big help for my recovery. Thank you for being a part of that ❤

[Bessie_Mae]

This is the best video. Adding this for my nighttime routine and love the music you used for this video and how you didn’t talk much👍🏾

[veerose]

I’ve been having so much facial stiffness probably related to stress / TMJ problems. I don’t own a guasha yet since I wasn’t sure if it would help in my case. But after watching this I think finally I’ll give it a try!! 💛
