Facial Gua Sha and Acupressure Massage | Gothamista

With so many facial tools available now, many of which come quite costly, the one I love using the most and really makes a difference to not just how my skin and face looks, but how I feel, is the gua sha. I've had gua sha body treatments for years specifically to help areas of pain and inflammation. But gua sha for the body and the face are very different. I had my TCM practitioner teach me how to do this correctly, the technique and sequence (full disclosure, I've done it incorrectly and my face was a mess the following few days) and the different acupressure points in my face. From there, I focused on what works best for me and boy, does it work! Many of you have asked me how I use this simple tool. I incorporate facial acupressure which I never realized how much I needed until recently. Even my mood is affected after I do this facial massage so I hope you enjoy watching and can do this along with me! I also show you how I clean my gua sha, and disinfect before I use it. #guasha Related Video : Gua Sha Routine for Relaxation + Tension Release https://youtu.be/qHj4EHmRd_w Facial Massage using a Jade Roller : https://youtu.be/YXWZEYjVrSI Subscribe Here : http://bit.ly/1OWWTmY _________________________________ Other places to find Gothamista: www.gothamista.com Instagram ▸ @gothamista Twitter ▸ @the_gothamista Pinterest ▸ gothamista __________________________________ • Products Mentioned • Mount Lai Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool https://shop-links.co/1734529271334339733 Solaris Lab NY Jade Face Sculpting Tool https://shop-links.co/1715260135243606037 Also shown : Skin Gym Square Rose Quartz Gua Sha https://shop-links.co/1727651903312179561 Skin Gym Black Obsidian Sculpty Tool https://shop-links.co/1727652425928147982 Solaris Lab NY Rose Quartz Face and Body Sculptor https://shop-links.co/1715260203171105516 Votary London Super Seed Facial Oil https://shop-links.co/1712727797999901465 00:00 Introduction 00:13 Why I Gua Sha 01:23 Gua Sha Facial Massage Benefits vs Jade Roller 02:21 How to Choose Your Gua Sha Tool 02:53 When Not To Gua Sha 03:09 Skin Prep 04:07 Proper Gua Sha Technique 04:48 Facial Massage 10:25 How To Clean Your Gua Sha  __________________________________ My skin type : Dehydrated, sensitive.
