Vanessa Megan Lapis Lazuli Gua Sha Massage Tool

Contains x 1 Gua Sha tool, Packaging: Cardboard Box

All Vanessa Megan™ face creams, oils and serums are suited for use with this Gua Sha tool.

For best results, exfoliate with our Prebiotic + C Powder prior to Gua Sha massage to encourage deeper penetration of your favourite VM product.

Before you begin, make sure you have clean hands and have applied a Vanessa Megan™ face cream, oil or serum. You never want to feel like you are pulling on the skin; there should always be some “slip” to work with your Gua Sha.

Use the diagram to move around your face and neck, following the direction of the arrows 1-25 and slowly gliding Gua Sha over each area three to five times. Spin tool for different areas of the face, as shown.

Apply light pressure around the less fleshy areas (such as forehead and eye area), and increase to medium/firm pressure on the cheeks, jaw line and neck where there are more muscles and tension.

Use the point of the Gua Sha on Acupressure points and press down firmly counting slowly to three, inhaling and exhaling as you do.

Some redness following the massage is expected, as in Chinese medicine, a red flush (or “sha”) is recognised as the healing response of your body. Severity will depend on skin type, but you should not bruise or remain red longer than 20-30 minutes after massaging. In the unlikely event of irritation, discontinue use.

Avoid Gua Sha Massage on the Face

• If you have rosacea
• 28 days after dermal fillers
• 14 days after injectables
• If you are on blood thinners

Be sure to rinse your Gua Sha with warm soapy water after every use. Allow to dry completely before storing in a cool, dry place.

You can also keep your Gua Sha in the fridge for an added cooling effect on next use.
