Gua sha is a slow and relaxing practice. Each gua sha move should be performed 3-6x in a row. Don’t rush this facial massage routine in order to drain puffiness and provide skin-firming benefits, you’ll need to move slowly. A facial gua sha massage can take anywhere from 5-45minutes depending on how many movements you’re performing. This basic routine I detail in the video below will take you 8-10minutes. Bring the spa home and mimic the effects of our cult-favorite skincare studio treatment. Our smoothing jade tool melts away tension and feels incredible any time of the day. Use alone or with your favorite face oil to leave skin glowy and refreshed. ‘There are many different Gua Sha tools in the market, and it’s very much a personal choice if you choose one made out of stone, jade, wood’ says Su-Man. ‘As long as it’s smooth and has a round surface, you can use it for Gua Sha as it’s the technique that makes a difference, not the tools.'
