Gua sha, oils and skincare order

5 replies

I'm confused. Please help!

My skincare routine (after cleansing etc) is to use a serum, eye cream and moisturiser in that order.

I got a jade gua sha tool as a gift and would like to try it. Most advice says to cleanse and then put an oil on and use tool - but what do you do after? I don't currently use an oil but I gather you're supposed to use oils last in your routine as they act as a barrier to anything else you'd out on.

Anyone any advice?

Trilogy rose hip oil is good. I also like the decleor balm oils. Small pots but you only need a tiny bit.

Thanks for the recs. I've heard the Trilogy one is nice.

Still bit sure of the order or routine after the massage though. Anyone tried it?

Gua sha is a Chinese medical massage - it involves virgorous scraping and often looks like you’ve been whipped because it brings blood to the surface. I wouldn’t have thought it was a helpful facial treatment?

Facial gua Shania very different to the body massage one. Involves light 'scraping' with the tool. Anecdotally great for your akin, although I'm approaching with a healthy dose of scepticism. Happy to give it a go since someone gave me a jade gua sha tool though.
