Gua Sha: Stainless Steel Facial Massage Tool 🏅 Everything You Need To Know + Demonstration

[@kristiet.9315]

Thank you for the stainless steel gua sha! There was a dr. on KZbin who recently demonstrated that we should open up the lymphatic drainage pathways on the neck before beginning a facial massage. She said only do this on one side of the neck at a time - light pressure, using oil,from the back of the ear and down the side of the neck then moving toward the middle of the collar bone. Do this 10 times each side. Then begin whatever massage. I thought it was worth passing along.

[@lorawalton7033]

You inspired me to stop coloring my hair and chopped off three inches. It feels so good and healthy!

[@NikolJohnson]

Awesome so happy to hear!

[@janetroberts5140]

Lora, I think it's a great thing to have the Bob too. I am keeping my hair just below the ear, like Nikol's. I do not have very many white grays though I am embracing the shiny highlights I am having show up in my brunette hair!!!

[@garypuckettmuse]

The packaging is great! Turns a utilitarian item into a little self care moment. Would also make a lovely gift with nothing more than a bit of silk cord tied in a bow! And having that box means it won't just disappear into the bottom of a drawer or the bottom of the cosmetic bag. Your hard work and great care are appreciated, Nikol.

[@Morticia1313]

I've been doing it for about 3 months now from 4-7 times per week. I love it & have noticed my skin looks much nicer & tighter

[@melanieconner9994]

Nikol, thank you again for another fabulous tool! I have been using a Gua Sha stone for years on my body so I am very familiar with the history and benefits. This stainless steel stone is genius, and your knowledge of how to use it, the beautiful packaging.... and the pouch is perfect. Another amazing desert island tool with everything we need. For anyone who has never used a Gua Sha, you will be delighted at the results and therapeutic benefits. And the stainless steel makes it a lifetime tool. Don't hesitate on purchasing this beautiful and therapeutic must have item for your beauty routine. Again, thank you Nikol for the Gua Sha and how much thought you put into this to make everything so beautiful 👌

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you Melanie I love that you have been using Fia Sha for years! I am in love with my new packaging and wanted you ladies to feel special when you had it on your vanity or traveling with you. 😘😘

[@melanieconner9994]

@@NikolJohnson Everything about the Gua Sha is so well thought out. Love that you provided a classy safe place to store it when not in use or for traveling! Love that it is stainless steel and won't break like the stones. Love that you have given us instructions on how to use it. Thanks again for everything 💖

[@janisferrante3739]

I just received my Gua Sha yesterday and used it last might for the first time. What a wonderful feeling. Better than having a facial because you can do it yourself and at your own speed. Thank you Nichol, I'll lot you know the changes as I continue to use it.

[@NikolJohnson]

Exciting Janis thank you for jetting me know.

[@brooklyn3692]

Very refreshing to see this here. Myanmar controls 97 percent of the worlds jade market. Stainless steel is so much more durable. I was thinking about one of your past video in which you talk about having your closet consignment. Pretty powerful. Your encouragement of do what you want beauty advice is greatness. Happy Friday!

[@teresagill8501]

I just received mine and looking forward to using it. I have never used anything like this. The packaging is very pretty. Thank you for making your videos and products.

[@christineprice916]

Hi Nikol! Oh my goodness. I just received your heated lash curler and used it for the first time. I LOVE IT! Thank you. My lashes are so fantastic after using your mascara and then the lash curler. It was worth waiting for my order to be filled. Get it ladies!

Thank you so much Nikol for providing this beautiful and highly beneficial tool for us. I am a fairly new sub. I just love your makeup tutorials, teaching about products but especially your exceptional attitude. When it comes to aging you are unique in your opinions, healthy and generous in your knowledge and provide a safe place where we women of a certain age can feel beautiful. In just a few short months you turned me from feeling invisible and no longer relevant ... To looking forward to embrace each day as a new adventure again. I am 61 yrs and learning how to "sit pretty" with it, because if you! Bless you ❤️

[@maureengreen617]

According to Chinese skin professional Lanshin on KZbin, the gua sha tool should be nearly flat on the face when used, and not at a sharp 95 degree angle. She has an excellent how-to for this marvelous device. And her skin is amazing.

[@NikolJohnson]

Must be used with an oil for the slip

[@annryals7285]

Just got mine. I love it.

[@aadtie5633]

I saw a Chinese on KZbin who specifically mentioned that you're not supposed to use the edge of the guasha to massage. You need to hold it in a way that the flat surface of guasha massages your face. That means you need to hold it inclined to your face. That is beneficial to skin. Using the edge isn't the right practice. That's what that Chinese Gua Sha expert had said. Here, what I see is that you're using the edges to massage. I guess you should try that method so you can see if it really makes a difference.

[@user-zc6rz1jv3g]

Thank you Nikol. A very nice demonstration. I wondered why you do not wiggle the gua sha when you end at the hairline as some utube demos do.

[@trudymorris9981]

Hi I recently started to follow you and have bought into some of your product recommendations and make up application advice, oh and I'm fully transitioned after 22 months, which is the best decision for me. My hair is so much more healthier. But my question is when are we going to be able to buy your products in the UK 🇬🇧. I'd love your Gua Sha. Have a good day and I look forward to your next beauty tips. Love Alison xx

[@mamarobyn]

[@RLB759]

Nikol please tell me …after Gua Sha, do you apply your serums first? Do you leave the facial oil on your face or should you clean your face afterwards? Thanks 💕

[@NikolJohnson]

Leave the facial oil on your face unless you find it to be too much for your skin in the morning. If you are doing Gua Sha at night leave on for extra hydrating benefits. You can add a moisturizer over to seal in the serum.

[@MiaHessMusic]

Wonderful idea! Can you recommend an oil that's not so expensive! Wow, those oil are WAY above my pay grade! Can you use moisterizer with a Gua Sha stone? The other thing that would help us is a larger version of your "how to use", like a pdf of it. Some of us don't have the greatest eysight. Or does that come with the box and stone??? I am going to get a few of your Gua Shas as gifts for my nieces! My one niece is a Thai Certified Masseuse and Yoga teacher but she's not that familar with Gau Sha stones so I think she'll really dig this! Thanks! I would have loved to have seen a little more in depth on how to use it but I'll watch your video again! Stainless stell? Brilliant!!! I would LOVE if you did a video on budget face oils, like maybe $30 and under!

[@NikolJohnson]

Hi Mia, Great idea about the PDF I will talk to my tech team about adding this to the product page. You have to use an oil not cream you have to have the slip. The directions are printed on the inside of the box. For affordable oil oils I would recommend www.target.com/p/botanics-organic-facial-oil-84-fl-oz/-/A-53728687#lnk=sametab
