Gua Sha Tips for Sensitive Skin
Gua sha should always feel gentle and relaxing, never painful. Use it on clean skin with a few drops of facial oil, such as Revive, Super Dew or Super Start, so the stone glides instead of dragging. Hold the stone almost flat against your skin and use light, slow strokes, moving upward and outward. If your skin turns red quickly, use even lighter pressure, and skip any area that is broken, irritated or has active breakouts. Many people like a short session in the morning to help their face look less puffy, or at night to ease facial tension. Wash the stone with mild soap and water after each use and let it dry fully. The FDA's page on using cosmetics safely has more tips for keeping your beauty products clean.
Gua sha is a quiet, mindful way to start or end the day, and it only takes a few minutes.
