A Facialist's Guide to Gua Sha

Posted by Tom Fielding on 15th Aug 2026

Technique, pressure and how often to use your stone for real results.

Gua sha relieves facial tension and gives an instant depuffed look when done correctly.

  • Always use on oiled skin
  • Hold the stone almost flat against the skin
  • Sweep outwards and upwards, 3–5 times per area
  • Finish down the neck towards the collarbone

A few minutes, three or four times a week, is plenty.
