It is important to hold your Gua Sha Noir™ firmly and in the correct way.

The curved parts of the Gua Sha should be used to hug and contour the different curves of your face, neck, and décolleté whereas the ribbed portion is meant to invigorate the flatter surfaces on your skin (such as chin to cheeks, temples, and forehead) to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Gua Sha Noir™ should be practiced in the direction of the lymphatic flow by starting on your neck and gently working your way up.

This will help move out stagnant energy and the accumulation of toxins, which can eventually improve other underlying conditions such as blemishes, dark spots, and rosacea.

Repeat each step 3-5 times before moving onto the next area.

Neck:

Using SIDE 1, glide Gua Sha Noir™ upward starting with the vertebrae, where the spine meets the neck. Next, sweep the wider concave side (SIDE 2) of the Gua Sha upward along the back of each side of the neck towards the hairline to release tension.

Continuing to use SIDE 2 of the Gua Sha, move to the front of the neck starting from the right collarbone, moving upwards to the jawline while applying medium pressure. Repeat on the opposite side of the neck.

Jaw:

Starting from the center of the chin, move the smaller cleft or divot of Gua Sha Noir™ (SIDE 1) along the jawline through to the base of the ear. Wiggle the tool to help release tension. Repeat on the opposite side.

Cheeks:

On the lower portion of the cheek and cheekbone, place the wider concave edge (SIDE 3) of Gua Sha Noir™ to the right of the mouth and at the bridge of the nose. Slowly drag it upward past the cheekbone and stop right before the ear. Wiggle the tool to help release tension. Repeat on the opposite side.

On the upper portion of the cheek and cheekbone, place the narrower concave edge (SIDE 4) of Gua Sha Noir™ to the right of the mouth and at the bridge of the nose. Slowly drag it upward past the cheekbone and stop right before the ear. Wiggle the tool to help release tension. Repeat on the opposite side.

Eyes:

Starting just below the inner corner of the right eye, gently move the narrow side or smallest tip (SIDE 5) of Gua Sha Noir™ under the eye, along the orbital bone and toward the hairline. Repeat on the opposite side.

Eyebrows:

Using SIDE 2, place Gua Sha Noir™ in the middle of the eyebrows and sweep to the right in a lifting motion through to the hairline. Repeat on the opposite side.

Forehead:

Starting from the top of the right eyebrow, glide the wide ribbed edge (SIDE 6) of Gua Sha Noir™ up to the top of the hairline. Repeat the motion starting from the middle of the eyebrows, and above to the left eyebrow.
