➤ Preparation: Cleanse and moisturize the skin in the area you want to treat.
➤ Application of Oil or Lotion: Apply a lubricant, such as massage oil or lotion, to the skin. This helps the tool glide smoothly over the skin.
➤ Hold the Tool: Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 15 to 45-degree angle against the skin. The angle may vary based on the area being treated and personal comfort.
➤ Scraping Technique: Use gentle, controlled strokes with the tool, scraping in one direction. The strokes should be firm but not painful. Common directions include upward, downward, or outward, depending on the specific technique and area being treated.
➤ Repeat: Repeat the scraping motion several times in the same direction. You can go over the same area a few times, but avoid excessive pressure to prevent skin irritation.
