If you don’t know, don’t worry. We will show you how to use the gua sha correctly and what type of guasha to use.
This article only talks about how to use it on the face and neck, because this is where we use it most often. Other parts, such as back and legs, will not be explained for the time being.
How to Use Gua Sha on Your Face?
-
Follow the Principle from Bottom to Top
It’s easy to understand. When you use a gua sha to move vertically on your face, make sure you are always scraping from the bottom to the top. The purpose of this practice is to lift the face and tighten the skin by scraping. If you use the top-down scraping method, the result will be very bad.

Follow the Principle From the Inside to the Outside
This is also easy to understand. That is, gua sha away from the inside of the face to the outside. For example, moving from the center of the eyebrow to the hairline, from the alar of the nose to the ear, and so on. This purpose is also to tighten the skin and improve facial lines.
Remember to repeat 10-20 times each scraping.
How to Use Gua Sha on the Neck? Follow the Principle from Top to Bottom.
It’s strange, why is it the exact opposite of the face? Because there are a lot of lymph nodes on the neck. The function of these lymph nodes is mainly to excrete harmful substances produced by the body. From top to bottom can improve the efficiency of lymphatic work. If you gua sha from bottom to top, it will inhibit the excretion of lymph nodes.
What’s Kind of Gua Sha Stone Should We Choose?
In view of this problem, in fact, many blog posts explaining how to use the gua sha board will not talk about it. Because they don’t know it themselves. But as China’s leading jade guasha R & D and production company, we know how to use each kind of gua sha like the back of our hand.
What type of gua sha is appropriate to use? It depends on what you want to achieve and where to use it.
If you want to use it on your back or legs, choose a guasha that is large, thick and has a smooth edge. The stress area is large and the radiation range is wide.
If you want to use it around your eyes, please choose a small scraper board. It can better fit the outline around the eyes and reduce the risk of eye damage.
If you want to use it on the head, please select the gua sha plate with teeth on the edge. It can go through the hair to the scalp. If there is a hair barrier between the scalp and the gua sha board, the effect will be greatly reduced.
In short, what kind of gua sha you choose depends on what effect you want to achieve and where you want to use it. It can be understood that the larger the area, the larger the volume of the guasha. The smaller the area, the smaller the scraper should be.
