Directions for Facial Gua Sha:
Apply oil to clean skin. You don’t need a lot, just enough to help the stones glide over the skin.
Each stroke should be done 3-5 times with gentle but firm pressure. Hold the tool at a 30°-45° angle to avoid digging into your face. There might be slight redness from circulation boost but there should not be marks left on the skin.
Never glide tools up or down the neck
*Do not use over any botox or filler, or areas recently having laser or peels.
*Do not use over pustule acne, irritated or red skin, raise moles, herpes, or new scars.
