OBSIDIAN GUA SHA BOARD
How to use:
1. Preparation
Ensure your skin is clean and free from any cuts, wounds, rashes, or sunburn.
Ensure the Gua Sha board is clean.
You can cleanse the skin with warm water and pat dry before Gua Sha.
2. Apply oil or cream
Choose your favorite skin care oil or cream as a lubricant. Apply an ample amount of oil or cream to the area you intend to Gua Sha. This helps reduce friction on the skin and allows the Gua Sha board to glide smoothly.
3. Angle
Hold the Gua Sha board close to the skin at an angle of about 30 to 45 degrees. This helps to avoid injury caused by excessive Gua Sha.
4. Intensity
Control the intensity of Gua Sha to avoid skin scratches or pain caused by excessive force, especially on fragile skin or if you have a history of skin conditions. When using a Gua Sha board for the first time, you can choose a gentle Gua Sha method and gradually increase the intensity.
5. Duration
Typically, the Gua Sha time for each area for about 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust based on personal comfort and skin response.
6. Direction
Always Gua Sha in one direction rather than back and forth. Follow the natural contours of your face or body.
7. Frequency
Control the frequency of Gua Sha sessions to avoid overstimulating the skin.
8. Post-Care
Do not wash your hands, take a bath, or clean the area within 1 hour after Gua Sha.
9. Cleaning and Maintenance
Wipe the Gua Sha board with a paper towel after each use. Clean the Gua Sha board regularly with warm water and mild soap, then dry and place in a ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
10. Precautions
Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you experience any skin discomfort or allergic reactions.
