Why practice gua sha, jade roller & face yoga?

Circulation & glow: Light pressure and smooth strokes encourage blood flow for a fresh, rested look.
Tension release: Jaw, brow, and neck relax with consistent gua sha, jade roller & face yoga.
De-puffing: Cool rolling supports fluid flow around eyes and cheeks.
Better absorption: Massage can help serums and creams distribute evenly.

Be gentle: In gua sha, jade roller & face yoga, feather-light pressure is enough. Skin should never look irritated or bruised.

Safety & Prep

Clean skin first: Use a gentle cleanser matched to your type: Almond & Algae Sensitive Skin Cleanser or Organic Acne Cleanser with Hemp Seed Oil.
Slip is essential: Apply a hydrating layer so tools glide: Organic Hyaluronic Acid Serum (on damp skin) and/or a thin veil of Day & Night Radiance Duo.
Disinfect tools: Wash with gentle soap and warm water; dry completely.
Skip broken or inflamed skin: Avoid active rashes, open lesions, or sunburns.
Pace: 3–5 minutes of gua sha, jade roller & face yoga is plenty on routine days.

Gua Sha — Beginner-Friendly Sequence

Hold your stone almost flat (15–30°). Use light, slow strokes, always moving outward or upward with micro-lifts at the end of each pass. Repeat each stroke 3–5 times.

Neck prep: From collarbone up to jawline, then from jaw behind ear down the side of neck (encourages fluid flow).
Jawline: Sweep from chin to just under the ear. Keep pressure light—especially over bony areas.
Cheeks: From side of nose, glide toward hairline under the cheekbone, then above it.
Under-eye (extra gentle): From inner corner (not touching lash line) outward to temple—use the softest touch.
Brow & forehead: From brow center to temple; then from brows up to hairline in vertical lifts.

After gua sha, jade roller & face yoga, pat a bit more hydration if needed: Hyaluronic Acid Serum, then seal with Radiance Duo.

Jade Roller — Quick De-Puff & Soothe

Keep your roller cool (briefly in the fridge if desired). Use gentle, outward strokes with the larger end on cheeks/forehead and the smaller end around eyes and nose.

Start at the center of the chin, roll toward ear. Repeat along jawline and cheeks.
Roll from sides of nose toward temples, then across forehead from center out.
Under eyes: roll from inner corner (below orbital bone) to temple with minimal pressure.

When to roll: Morning puffiness, post-mask soothing, or after applying Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid for an even spread.
