- Apply facial oil or serum to clean skin.
- Start at the chin and roll upward along the jawline.
- Move to the cheeks and roll outward from nose to ear.
- Roll gently under eyes to reduce puffiness and dark circles.
- Finish at the forehead, rolling upward toward the hairline.

Why Use a Gua Sha Roller?
Gua sha rollers are not just a skincare trend — they’re rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, known for promoting circulation and releasing tension. Modern skincare lovers use them to reduce puffiness, lift the face, and improve absorption of serums and oils. Think of it as a mini face workout that leaves your skin refreshed and glowing.
Top Benefits of Daily Gua Sha Use
When done consistently, even a short 5 minute facial massage with a gua sha roller can deliver visible results. Here’s what you can expect:
- Depuff instantly: Stimulates lymphatic drainage for a more sculpted look.
- Fade under-eye circles: Using gua sha under eye areas reduces darkness and swelling.
- Boost glow: Increases microcirculation and oxygen flow to your skin.
- Contour naturally: Lifts and defines your jawline without invasive treatments.
- Ease muscle tension: Relieves stress held in facial muscles, especially around the eyes and forehead.
