Hello, Hello. Today we are doing a very short and sweet gua sha facial routine. This is deeply relaxing for the face and also helps with lifts. And glow and drainage. All you need is a gua sha stone and a face oil, Face oil, Face cleanser. If you do not have a gua sha stone, You can just watch and enjoy and when you do have a stone you can come back or you can check out my other video for doing a face massage using just your hands. But we will go ahead and get started pulling back the hair. I am going to also light some incense. If you have a candle or some incense you would like to light, I encourage you to do that. We'll just make this into some self-care, A little self-care ritual. Here I have some incense I was burning earlier, So I'm just going to relight this and make this part of the ritual. Part of our routine here. Okay, It's taking a moment, Hand over heart, Arriving here. Sigh Connecting with yourself. Okay, And we can get started. If your face is feeling dry, Use a little more. If it's feeling already really moist, Use a little less. I'm going to do three squirts here. And we're just making sure that the face has enough oil on it to where the Gua Sha stone doesn't grab or pull on the skin. You can do this morning, Night, Whatever feels best for you, But we always start at the back of the neck. I start with this And we just go up the back of the neck. Right up the back. Three times and then up against the side back of the neck three times. And then up here three more times. And then get behind the ear. Then we're going to come down the front of the neck. We'll do three times just the front as well. Maybe four, Maybe six. Here we go. Yeah, And then we can kind of go in here. Okay, And then we go to the other side, Up the back of the neck three times, And to the back side three times, And then the side of the neck three more times. And behind the ear. There we go. And then we'll come back down the front of the neck. Kind of getting the full Right, We're not getting the front of the throat quite yet. And I'll get here. That's just helping open up the limbs. Lymphatic drainage system in the face. Now we're gonna come up the neck. I like to use this little wedge here. Just coming up and over the chin, Right up the front of the throat three times. And the side of the throat up and over the chin three times. The other side of the neck, Up and over the chin three times. OK, Great. And then we're gonna take this again and come along the jaw. We'll do that three times. Everyone's face is shaped different. So you have to use your stone in a way that feels good for your face. Behind the ear and down the side of the neck. We'll do this side and we'll come along the jaw. And we are not pressing into the skin. We're using a very feather light, Very, Very feather. Feather lightweight touch. So we come down and get that. Now I like to use this comb-y end. And come all the way up the side of the face. I usually start from underneath the eye. The jaw. And notice all of our motions are upward. We're just going up the face. We did three times there. And three times we'll go up here. Three different points on the face. I like to go around the lips a little with the comb-y end just to I carry a lot of tension around my mouth. So. . . Getting those folds, Smile lines, Help them relax a little bit. Frown lines maybe for you. Okay, And then. I used the combi end again and we just. . . Calm abegans. Here and again, Pressing very light. Three times, Then we'll use this. Under the eye and along the cheekbone. Into the hairline. Three times. Okay. And then we're going to come and get the eye here. Three times, Kind of go across the eye. And up the temple. We're just making sure we're following through on every motion here. I like to take the comb-y end, But you can also take this end and just do a long stuff. Even pulling up on the eye. And back into the skull. Okay, So let's do that again on this side. So I use the comb end again over here. I'm kidding. Side of the face. And then we'll do under the eye and along the cheekbone. Three times and again notice I'm going up into the hairline. And if you feel like you need a little something extra, You can give it a little something extra. Along the eye here. Getting up in that. Brow bone. Again, We just carry so much tension around the eyes. And then just kind of combing. Combing that up. Duh-duh The scalp. Yeah. Okay. And come back down. Do a little of this, Just kind of wrap it up. Give yourself a tiny little face massage with your hands. Sides of the ears. And coming back to your heart. Breathing that in. Feels so good.
