Before you begin, ensure you have cleaned your hands, face, and White Jade Gua Sha.

Apply a product to help create a smooth glide for the Gua Sha. Use either the Peppermint Potion, our Moisturizing Milk, or a facial oil of your choice. 
Choose the right angle, ideally, the gua sha tool should be held at a 30-45 degree angle.
In terms of strokes, generally one must apply gentle to firm pressure with upward strokes following the lymphatic drainage.
Here are some common areas for facial gua sha:
Jawline and chin: Glide upwards from the center of the chin towards the earlobe.
Cheeks: Start at the nose and sweep outwards and upwards towards the temples.
Forehead: Begin in the center and work outwards in sections towards the hairline.
Neck: Start at the collarbone and sweep upwards towards the jawline.

General tips:
Perform each stroke 3-5 times on each side.
Avoid applying too much pressure, which can cause bruising.
Focus on relaxing your facial muscles as you perform the gua sha strokes."

There isn't a single "best" time to use a gua sha tool. It can be beneficial at either time, AM or PM, depending on what you're hoping to achieve:

Morning gua sha:

* Reduce puffiness: If you wake up with a puffy face, particularly around the eyes, a morning gua sha routine can help with lymphatic drainage and de-puff.

* Brighter appearance: Gua Sha can improve circulation, which may give your skin a brighter look throughout the day.

* Smoother makeup application: By stimulating circulation and potentially reducing puffiness, a Gua Sha can create a smoother canvas for makeup application.

Night gua sha:

Release tension: After a long day of facial expressions, gua sha can help relax facial muscles and ease tensions.

Reduce signs of aging: Some believe a Gua Sha may help smooth wrinkles and promote collagen production, which is most beneficial when skin is in repair mode at night.

Ultimately, the best time to Gua Sha is whenever you can incorporate it consistently into your routine. Here are some additional factors to consider:

Your personal preference: Try the White Jade Gua Sha in the morning and at night to see when you enjoy it more and which time feels more effective for your goals. the goal is to be consistent.

Available time: If you have a more elaborate skincare routine at night, you might prefer a quicker Gua Sha session in the morning.

Whichever time you choose, remember to be gentle and use a facial oil for a smooth glide.

Store in a dry place, avoid too much moisture and humidity, as it may damage the stone. Keep out of direct sunlight, and safe from falls, as these tools are very fragile.

Pro Tip: For best results, place your Gua Sha in the fridge for 10-20 minutes before use.
