- don’t use the gua sha on bare skin.
- start from your chest, neck to face, repeating each upwards motion 5 times.
- always scrape in an upwards motion. When you need to return the jade roller to the starting points, pick it up and place it back at the start. Remember That Don’t Roll Backwards.
Amid Gua Sha
- you can use a cleaning oil or cleaning balm as a lubricant for using the tool.
- always work upwards and towards the lymph nodes.
- use the largest plain of the tool on your neck and cheeks.
- when using the tool on your forehead, do upwards movements and horizontal movements, never downwards.

- using gua sha tool on either side of your cheekbone.
- using enough pressure that you feel you’re working your face muscles, but not so much that it hurts.
