Are You Making This Gua Sha Mistake?

Gua sha has a long list of benefits, but one mistake can lower your chances of seeing positive results and may even cause skin problems. According to skincare experts, the number 1 mistake people often make is dragging the gua sha tool too harshly across the skin, which can ultimately cause wrinkles and fine lines. Instead, a gentle touch is key when draining the lymphatic systems. Here's how to gua sha like a pro for the best results: (1) Cleanse your skin and gua sha tool. (2) Apply facial oil to your face and neck for a more effortless glide. (3) Hold the tool at a 30-45 degree angle and gently glide it across your skin. (4) Repeat each movement 3-5 times before moving on to the next area.
