How to use your obisidian gua sha: 

Cleanse your skin, wash the tool and apply a facial oil such as Bumi Naturals' Facial Oil or Night Repair. This is to avoid dragging or catching on the skin.

Start with one side of the face, apply 3-5 strokes per area before moving to the other side of your face. The tool should be used at a flat angle - approximately one finger width between the Gua Sha and your skin - and with a light pressure.

Use the long flat edge of the Gua Sha for your neck and pull it upwards towards the jawline. This encourages blood flow to the face.

Using the small round indents, pull the Gua Sha along the jawline, starting at the chin and drawing it up to your ear. 

Take the long flat edge of the Gua Sha and pull it along your cheek from nose to ear. Then use the small round edge and press it flat under your eye. Use a gentle rolling and pumping action, moving from the inner eye to the outer eye.

What skin type is a gua sha suited to? All skin types can benefit from using a gua sha. You can adjust the pressure as required but if you have particularly sensitive skin or with painful spots, abrasions or blemishes you may wish to consult with a doctor prior to use.
