Cleanse your face and apply any serum,face oil or moisturiser of your choice. Your skin should be slippery with some product to prevent the gua sha from causing any irritation.

Hold your tool firmly in the correct way. The curved part should hug the curves of your skin and the flat part should rest on your skin.

Begin by using the wider concave side of your tool. Start at the base of one of the sides of your well-moisturized neck,pulling it up,towards your jaw.

How to Clean and Store Gua Sha Tools

Cleaning your Gua Sha tool is extremely important. A dirty tool can cause several skin problems such as acne,greasiness,breakouts,and more. To ensure your tool is clean,we recommend using a soft towel to wipe it before and after every use. For a deeper cleanse,you can dip the towel in some soapy water (water + your cleanser) and then proceed to wipe your tool gently. This gets rid of the bacteria build up on your stone. Avoid using hot water as it can damage the stones in your tool. Before you put your Gua Sha tool back into its box,ensure that it is completely dry.

Since your Gua Sha tool is made of semi-precious stones it is fragile. Dropping it can damage the crystals in your face tool,thus altering results. Handling your Gua Sha with extreme care is very important. You can store your tool in a dry place and somewhere it will not fall. You can even store it in your refrigerator (or a make-up fridge) for an added cooling effect.

Precautions For Using A Gua Sha Tools For Gua Sha

Avoid cold showers within 30 minutes after scraping.

It is not advisable to perform the gua sha test again before scraping the area where the sha was last time to scrape it off from its original location. There should be an interval of 3-6 days between scraping again,based on the standard when the scraping has retreated to the skin.

After scraping,it is best to drink a glass of warm water (preferably light sugar and salt water) and rest for 15-20 minutes.

Introduce the Basic Techniques of Gua Sha Tools

The method of holding the scraper
Hold the scraper with your hands. The thick scraper faces your palm during treatment,and the thin scraper faces your palm during health care.

Scratch test direction
Neck,back,abdomen,upper limbs,lower limbs are scratched from top to bottom,and from inside to outside.

Replenishing scraping and reducing scraping
Generally speaking,scraping along the meridian is replenishing scraping,scraping test against the meridian is purging scraping.

Gua Sha time
Scraping is performed by reducing scraping or flattening and relieving methods. Generally,each part needs to be scraped for 3-5 minutes; the scraping time for each part is 5-10 minutes by repairing scraping. There is no strict time limit for health care scraping,based on the principle of self-satisfaction and comfort.

How to Use the Gua Sha Tools

Gua sha board has thick surface,thin surface and edges and corners. When treating diseases,use a thin face to scrape the skin,and for health care,use a giant face to scrape the skin,and use edges and corners to scrape at acupuncture points near the tianjie and when you need to press acupuncture points. During operation,it is necessary to master the skills to promote sha,shorten the stimulation time,control the stimulation intensity,and reduce the feeling of local pain.

Angle

It refers to the angle formed by the scraping board and the skin. When the scraping board is perpendicular to the skin,it is the most irritating to the skin,and it is the easiest to scrape out the sha,and it is also easier to produce pain: When the angle between the scraping board and the skin is less than 90° to scrape,it is not like scraping perpendicular to the skin. Gu sha is easy to occur,and it is not as painful as vertical scraping. Under normal circumstances,it is sufficient to maintain an angle of 60°.

Strength

Refers to the power of using the scraping board. The greater the force used,the easier it is to develop sha,and the higher the patient,s sensitivity; the lighter the force used,the shallower the scraping board cuts into the skin,and the less likely it is to develop sha,the lower the patient,s sensitivity. High intensity may cause local skin ulceration,while light intensity will not achieve the therapeutic effect. Therefore,the requirement of strength is ‘heavy but not rigid,light but not floating,.

Speed

Refers to the speed of scraping the skin. The faster the scraping speed,the shallower the depth of the gua sha cutting into the skin,and the slower the sha out; on the contrary,the slower the scraping speed,the higher the sensitivity,and the faster the sha out. When using the gua sha board,the key to manipulation is the mastery and control of strength and speed.

Direction

It refers to the direction of force acting on the scraping board. The power comes from the back of the scraping board. When you use thrust to scrape,it is more irritating to the skin and it is easier to produce sha,the strength comes from the front of the scraping board. When you use pulling force,it is not easy to produce sha,but the patient feels more comfortable.
