Hold the gua sha at a slight angle of 45 degrees against your skin, maintaining a gentle but firm pressure, avoid pressing too hard. Begin at the neck, moving upwards and from the center of the face outwards. Use the tool’s various edges to reach different areas of the face. Repeat each stroke 5-10 times.
The key is gentle and consistent practice to experience the full benefits of gua sha. Rinse your tool before and after every use under running water.
