Phoenix Jade Gua Sha Facial Massage Tool

Key Benefits for Your Skin

Regular Gua Sha practice is more than just a beauty trend; it is a massage technique that supports skin health from within.

• Promotes Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle scraping motions help move stagnant fluid, which can reduce morning puffiness and define facial contours.
• Releases Muscle Tension: The firm density of the jade helps work out knots in the jaw (masseter muscles), brow, and neck, softening the appearance of expression lines.
• Boosts Circulation: The friction stimulates blood flow to the surface of the skin, bringing oxygen and nutrients that contribute to a natural glow.
• Enhances Product Absorption: Using these tools over serums or oils helps press active ingredients deeper into the skin layers.

Understanding the Shapes

• The Heart Shape: The "V" notch is specifically engineered to hug the jawline and cheekbones. It is ideal for sculpting and lifting motions.
• The Long/S-Shape: These elongated tools are excellent for larger surface areas like the neck and forehead, or for body scraping (shoulders and arms) to release deeper tension.
• The Curved Edge: The smooth, convex sides found on all plates are used for sweeping over flat areas like the cheeks and under-eye area (using very light pressure).
  
  

User Guide: Tips for an Effective Ritual

1. Preparation is Key:
   Never use a Gua Sha tool on dry skin. Always apply a generous layer of facial oil, serum, or moisturizer. The tool needs 'slip' to glide smoothly; dragging the stone on dry skin can cause irritation.
2. The Angle Matters:
   Hold the tool flat against your face, at roughly a 15 to 45-degree angle. Avoid holding it perpendicular (90 degrees) to your skin, as the goal is to sweep the lymph fluids, not dig into the tissue.
3. Direction of Flow:
   • Neck: Start here to open the lymphatic channels. Sweep downwards from the ear to the collarbone to drain, or upwards to lift.
   • Jaw: Use the notched edge. Start at the center of the chin and glide along the jawline toward the earlobe. Give a little wiggle at the end to release tension.
   • Cheeks: Sweep from the nose outwards toward the hairline.
   • Eyes: Use extreme caution and very light pressure. Sweep from the inner corner of the eye outwards to the temple.
   • Forehead: Sweep from the eyebrows up to the hairline.
4. Pressure and Consistency:
   Use light-to-medium pressure for the face and neck. The skin should flush slightly pink (indicating blood flow), but it should not be painful. Consistency yields the best results—aim for 3 to 5 minutes, 2-3 times a week.
   
   

Care Instructions

• Wash your tool with warm water and a gentle soap after every use to prevent bacteria buildup.
• Handle with care: Phoenix Jade is a natural stone and can be fragile. Dropping it on a hard surface (like a bathroom tile) may cause it to break.
