When using the Gua Sha tool, ensure the skin is hydrated with a serum or oil to create a smooth slip for the tool to glide with. Using medium pressure, move the tool in upwards and outward motions from the edges of the nose and mouth up into the cheekbone and temple. Start using the wider curved side, and then flip the tool to the deeper curved side to target the contour of the cheekbones and along the jawline. When going along the neck, move in a downwards motion to drain lymph-nodes. When using the tool around the eyes, come as close to the lash lines as possible to drain water retention and alleviate puffiness. For a cooling effect, keep the Gua Sha in the fridge, which also works to reduce redness and inflammation of breakouts and blemishes.
