A wonderful Gua Sha facial massage

Massage your face with Gua Sha - See our guide

Facial massage can not only bring back your glow, but can also have a lifting effect on the facial muscles and give the skin and musculature a beautiful lift. In addition, you get the products deeper into the skin, so you benefit more from the active ingredients.  That’s why we’ve created a facial massage to serve as inspiration and a true wellness moment.

Products you need: Cleanser, Facial oil and a Gua Sha

Gua Sha massage - How to do it

Note: The massage direction is upwards, and before you finish you can run the Gua Sha down along the side of the face towards the lymph nodes at the armpit, thereby helping to transport waste products away. 

1. Start by cleansing the skin on the face and décolleté.
2. Make sure you are sitting comfortably, warm, and relaxed.
3. Then put 5-7 drops of facial oil in your hand. Warm the oil in your hands and distribute it over the face and décolleté.
4. Close your eyes and breathe all the way down into your belly three times.
5. Place the Gua Sha in the center just above the chest and run the curved part of the Gua Sha out to the shoulders 3 times. First to the left and then to the right.
6. Use the small short side of the Gua Sha with the two small curves and glide from the shoulder up towards the neck on both sides. At least 3 times.
7. Glide the same side along the jaw on both sides. Repeat this movement as many times as you like, until the jaw feels relaxed.
8. Then use the reverse curved side of the Gua Sha in strokes from the center of the chin and upwards along the cheeks to the temples 3 times.
9. Place the Gua Sha along the nose and glide it in a gentle curve under the cheekbone and out towards the ear.
10. Glide the Gua Sha gently in half circles around the eye. First with the reverse curved part under the eye from the inner corner and out, so you cover both the cheek and the eye area. Then along the brow with the small double-curved side, gliding along the brow and out towards the temple. Repeat this 3 times.
11. Place the double-curved side of the Gua Sha at the start of the nose and glide up the forehead towards the hairline.
12. Use the curved side and glide up from the brow towards the hairline on both sides.
13. Then, on both sides, glide the curved part from the center of the forehead out to the temple and down along the side of the face towards the neck, finishing at the armpit. Do this on both sides.
14. Rinse the Gua Sha and use it on the neck, massaging from the neck down to the start of the back. Repeat as many times as you like. This step works especially well if you tend to have tension and headaches. 
15. Leave the facial oil on so it can nourish your skin for the rest of the day.
