How I Use Gua Sha for Clear Skin + Lymph Drainage
Vložit

- Today's video is about a traditional Chinese medicine scraping massage technique called "GUA SHA" that I use nightly on my face. It is often referred to as the "Eastern Face Lift" because it instantly plumps and lifts your skin, as you'll see by the one eye that looks FAR more awake towards the end haha :) Benefits include: improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, wrinkle prevention, blemish control, boosted collagen, skin firming, lessening of dark circles, and decreased stress & muscle tension. I love performing this massage before bed because it completely relaxes your face and helps you sleep like a baby - especially if you clench your jaw at night!

Thank you so much for such a sweet comment!! You're amazing and you don't know how much I appreciate you watching & being here w me
Her stories on Instagram are really informative!
wow...i can really see a difference after you did just one side of your face! Incredible! I'm sold...ordering now.
Thanks so much for this and all your videos, Olivia. I've done your parasite cleanse and had amazing results.
I am 61 and always looking for natural connected healing. You are pretty amazing for one so young. Thank you for being such a wonderful healer and sharing it!
I wish you posted more videos you're so knowledgable!!
I'm trying girl 😩 time has been flying lately. thanks for being patient w me
Lots of wonderful information! I could see a difference in half of the face you did on camera, more lifted and glowing! I just ordered one.. can’t wait to receive it 😊 Thanks, Stacy
You explain things so beautifully xx
What a great 👍🏽 video! You did an excellent job. I love 💕 how researched you are. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing! Not to mention your skin is absolutely divine! Bravo 👏
Everything you've said has been so on point. Thank Youu so much!
BOMB!!!!! I love you so much, ugh where have you been all my life. I purchased your para pro formula and your probiotics .. you have been educating me so much in these past couple weeks that I have been browsing on your channel. I also love rose quartz so this is perfect! I am purchasing this set of tools! Thank you Olivia ! I am so happy and btw my skin is clearing up just by using l-lysine for the couple days I have been using it! I can not wait to see results from my parasite cleanse! Ugh im really grateful for you! Keep doing what you do and informing us of awesome life changing info! Much love and blessings to you and yours from NJ! 💙
Thank you for this video! You seriously should continue to make videos on skincare, beauty and what not! Your “how I cured my acne video” was so informative and helpful.
Thank you so much and I really appreciate that feedback! I will for sure
I really enjoyed this! I made a video a few months back of me using the jade roller before I started with the gua sha. I’m obsessed with the gua sha! I have severe muscle tension from a car accident I had (I’m sure my anxiety doesn’t help with it) and my acupuncturist made me get this gua sha tool to use at home. I love it!
You're an amazing young woman..great info and insights on so many levels. I can't wait to try some gua sha!
I love your videos! All so informational !! Please post more xoxo
thank you so much
Just found your channel and I'm loving it! 💕☺️
You have such a warm personality Olivia :). Can you do a video on how to overcome acne scars, blemishes and face lines ? Also on PCOS acne ? Thanks.
Thank you SO MUCH for all of this! You are wonderful and beautiful. After a lifetime of TMJ issues, I am going to add this to my daily routine; facial self-massage is not quite the same as gua sha, and I look forward to incorporating this.
Thank you so much Olivia for showing me how to use it! I just got one from Amazon!! I have a question for you, how do you clean it or do you clean it? Cheers!
Do you have to use the different types or do you need all 3? This was a great video! I love your energy, I subscribed. God bless!
Oh my goodness that’s amazing!!!!
See your eye 👁 omg! Instant results I love this vid!!
I've never heard of this, going to buy one. Thank you!!
Awesome, hope you love it :) happy scraping haha!
Hey Olivia! Could you possibly do a video about Derma Rolling? Your videos have really informative and have really helped me out.
Recently, I've been reading a lot about Gua Sha and I really want to start including this in my daily routine. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! :) I think you're gonna love it, it's a very calming process 💘
I love your videos. Loved the goals for 2018 one I watched it and wrote everything down. Your beliefs really align with mine. And I am so going to do Gua Sha now!!!
Thank you SO much for watching & for your kind words! I appreciate it so much 💘
Olivia! Would Cold Pressed Olive Oil work just as well as the oil you recommend? Either way whatever works best I'm willing to try, Thanks so much! Your the best and keep up the great work!! :)
Just got my crystals in the mail! Ca’t wait to try. Please do a video where you talk more about lymphatic stagnation and how we can reduce and prevent it. When you said “you can be eating the healthiest diet....” I thought thats ME. I put good thing in but feel like my body is not absorbing the nutrients or using them properly.
How about that time I literally shed a tear at your logic on late night voids and filling them with self care?! You nailed it! Totally going to order one and make this my nightly ritual (as I *just* finished a cookie 🤦🏻♀️)
Girllllll isn't it so true?! I love night time BECAUSE I get so creative/introspective but I also feel like that's what makes any voids so prominent. Self care, especially something that involves massaging your own body is the best solution I've found so far. Cheers to less cookies and more Gua Sha! lmao
Love this!
So helpful thank you! I subscribed. 😊
Love this and love learning from you. These videos let us pick your brain and it’s awesome! Lol can you elaborate on how you follow up after this? Do you cleanse or go straight to bed? Love ❤️
Thank you so much for watching! Directly after doing this I use a damp steamy wash cloth to gently remove the oil from the gua sha process (similar to oil cleansing), use some toner on a cotton ball all over my face, then apply a tiny bit more fresh oil just to seal in moisture before I go to bed.
girl im watching this with face mask now, taking notes !!!!!
yesssssssss i'm about to mask it up rn !!!
I'm literally watching this with a face mask on too hahah
I totally agree re not over washing your face. Some nights, I just use coconut oil and water or a bit of natural Aveda toner or even micellar water. It's made SUCH an huge difference in my skin.
Don't use micellar water, does not do any good
Can you do a video on the different kinds of acne scars and how to treat them?
I love your content so much been following you since you made videos in your room
omg you don't know how much I appreciate that! Thank you!! 💘💘💘
Organic Olivia happy Valentine’s Day ❤️ you don’t know how much I appreciate YOU. And all your helpful tips
I would love to see a video on what you typically eat in a day! Are you plant based?
I am waiting for the updated skincare video!
Didn’t know you had your own jewelry line! Just did some damage lol. Love your videos and how informative AND interesting you are. Great channel, Olivia!
Yesssss! I realized I've never really mentioned it on CZcams before - I'm so used to just posting on Instagram. 😂Thank you SO much for both your support of the line & your incredibly kind words. I really appreciate it 💘
Glad to see you back :) 13 L💚VE
what do you think about rosacea? subtype 1, with burning sensation and flushing... Do a video about It, pleaseeee!
Olivia dear i am taking lysine tablets for last 60days one per day...need to ask u for how long shud i continue?? my skin has improved alot☺☺
So I’ve been using organic hemp seed oil as a moisturizer and my skin does not break out from it, I love it! But I was reading that oils don’t really penetrate the skin and kinda just sit on top, which makes some sense because my makeup starts to make weird designs on my face after a while in the day. I just moved to Colorado and it’s dry, what can I use that’s safe and going to penetrate my pores, but will hold my makeup in place??? Please and thank you.
I was wondering how do I clean the tools. Also can I use it without oil? thank you
Hi olivia! Is there anything you recommend for sunspots? Thank you!
Always appreciating informational videos. 😊You have mentioned drinking water for skin but there is so much conflicting infornation out there on which is better and/or cleanest: spring, Purified, alkaline or distilled. Any thoughts around this. You may not have mentioned it in this particular vid but it is also a good idea to drink water when working lymphatic system. Appreciate any input or information🌻
Metro Alphie alkaline water!
You are a GENIUS and such a beautiful soul
What do you recommend for dry skin on the forehead that won't go away?
can you do a video on practices you did a few years ago and what is holding up as truth over the years? has anything changed?
Can I use seabuck thorn oil, jojoba or vitmain E oil? And/or a blend of them?
Your voids and emptiness' are something else
Is the rose quartz better than the jade for anti-aging?
I already said this but *l damn love you* thanks for sharing!
love you right back girl, thank you for watching
i use retin a at night should i do this before or after application
i have has cystic acne since 20 yrs old i am 56 now its not as often but now dealing with malar eye bags festoons what will help with this o desparate
Olivia, what have you done for acne scarring??
Thank you for this video! So helpful! Do you have any advice for black puffy circles under the eyes...
chamomile tea bags brewed then left in the fridge to cool are great!
Hey I can’t find any jewellery on your website :(
Supplements/treatments to help acne scarring? I have it really bad and this is the only reason why I wear makeup! Its just so bright red.
Try performing Gua Sha with an oil that contains rosehip oil - that's the best for acne scars. You can also try a dermaroller over the area to help resurface the skin & build new skin cells
The willow bark pure toner from andalou naturals has helped my redness and scaring a lot. I used thayers witch hazel toner before and it didn't do nearly as much as this new one. Also refraining from touching it is huge for me. I do the toner twice a day and lastly I stopped eating nuts so frequently because I figured out they don't 100% agree with my body chemistry and my skin is more even and less puffy. Topical products rock but sometimes there is a secondary factor needing to be addressed for the skin to heal completely. For me it was the nuts.
Organic Olivia should we use Gua sha everyday
I absolutely love the oil from Denmark! I’ve been using it since Christmas and my skin looks amazing!
Yay! Isn't it amazing!! It's all I've used for years now. I'll pass your comment along to her, I'm sure she will be thrilled
Yayyy!! Thank you, Olivia!
ANOTHER VIDEO. YAS!
💘💘💘💘💘
Does or would a Jade roller have the same affect ?
Can you please do a video on facial cupping?
Can you still do this if you have active acne?
I love you and your amazing wisdom!! Can't wait to get started
love you right back !!! thank you so much for watching
I've noticed that about coconut oil, I can't use it on my face .. should i not use it on my body either and if not what would you recommend?
On the body is usually fine (it's really nice to help you recover from sunburn) - it's just the face seems to be too sensitive for coco oil. :)
How or where do we get the tools
Olivia, I have CONSTANT redness on my skin! It's gotten really bad. I have tried not washing and I wash using a sensitive cleanser fro,m acure and have experimented with oils, serums and moisturizers and have used only toners and nothing seems to get the redness away. So, do you think I have a lymphatic drainage issue??
Also, I eat mostly vegan and don't eat dairy or gluten and eat mostly seeds and fruits and vegetables with quinoa as my "grain" and spelt gluten free bread if I want some carbs. I drink lots of smoothies and water and I'm at a loss. It looks like I have scabies - not to be gross but the redness looks horrible
Try a vitamin C serum!
Is it all over or just your face? Redness is a sign of inflammation and if it looks like scabies, something may be trying to work its way our of your system. Do you take vitamins and supplements to make up for not eating meat? Do you consume plenty of fat? The timing of when the redness started is also important. Was it gradual, or did it change at a certain time? Is it better or worse at different times of the year? Doesn't sound like a lymphatic draining issue to me - sounds like it has to do with diet (which the one you are eating may not be right for you and your physiology). I would also look into craniosacral work. Those that provide craniosacral massage are often energy workers as well and can help with overall body issues. Good luck!
Can I use avocado oil instead?
Hi! Thank you so much for this video, really helpful! I also have a night time routine with gua Sha massage, but I do something different. Instead of going downwards with the tool on the neck, I go upwards because I feel like I should massage against the gravity. What do you think about it? Thank you!
Downward movement is for lymphatic drainage,
What toner did you use?
the lighting is kind of too bright but other that thanks for sharing this interesting info
Please make more recipe videos!
What about sweet almond oil??
i use tearee oil, how about that?
Where are the links?
From where we can buy authentic gua Sha tool? Plz send the link.
Amazon
whats your opinion on using rosehip oil with gua sha?
Yes, it works
Would the jade stone work just as well?
ana love yes :)
Can you do it in the sauna?
How do you compare the Gua Sha to a Jade Roller?
I feel thaat Gua Sha tools are a lot stronger/more effective than jade rollers because they have those edges & grooves that really scrape and lift the skin while moving lymph. I would choose gua sha over jade rolling any day - I see much more of a difference! x
What supplments are you still taking for acne. L lysine and zinc?
I still take Zinc, but now I use a lower dose for maintenance (20mg a day). Once L-Lysine cleared my acne, I continued taking it for a few months just to make sure everything was fully gone. Now, I no longer need to take every day - I only take it therapeutically for a few days in a row when I have a pimple pop up (usually around my cycle or when I eat something fried) to help it heal quickly.
I also repeat my parasite cleanse once yearly ("spring cleaning") which also helps keep my skin clear & digestion strong.
Organic Olivia Love you soo much Olivia 😊 you have no idea how much i adore you !!
Just a quick help Olivia. How much of the Lysine and how many days before you noticed results?
Olivia can you please tell me how many bottles of parapro I should take? I just bought one.
Hey Olivia!! have acne all across my jawline and chin and side of mouth area. I have been trying to clear my skin for the passed 2 years doing lots of cleanses, eating plant based, gluten and wheat free. and taking dim and a tincture of herbs for 1.5 years to re balance my high Estrogen levels + other hormonal issues. I have tried lotssssss and I still have acne. tbh I don't feel hopeless because I have so much passion and drive to fix this( because healing my body and the underlying issue is so important to me), butttt i am feeling super frustrated. my lymph nodes under my jaw bone and where the underneath bit meets my neck ( if that makes sense lol) are all swollen and I have a feeling that the lack of drainage is having a huge impact on my acne. its been like this for years, never caused me issues neither is painful. dr's told me not to worry but fuck i have no trust for them hahah. I also have swollen puffy eyes 24/7 nothing changes it unless I drink a boat load of water. I have researched a lot on the lymph nodes in the area and the only thing i have come across is dry brushing. I bought flor essence but haven't started taking it yet. Do you have any other advice for me? I honestly want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the passion and good quality info you put out there. I have always been interested into holistic health but your blog has helped me to put the pieces together to better understand my own health and system.
YOUR A LEGEND!!!
thanks
Ahhh i wish you feel better soon 👍🙏 i know the struggle !
Hi! Considering where you breakouts are, and that you have hormonal issues, have you had any luck balancing them out? Also, do you still consume dairy? Hormones and dairy could be the culprit. Plus dairy can heighten hormonal issues. And if your eyes are puffy, that could be your liver, which may not be draining properly, since drinking a lot of water helps. For your lymph nodes, have you ever received an adjustment from a chiropractor? I would bet if you had bloodwork done it may show high WBC count, as backed up lymph nodes are typically trying to drain something. A chiropractic adjustment can help to drain the lymph nodes in that area. You may also want to look into crain-sacral massage work. I hope this works for you!
Can you do this on top of acne?
I wouldn't do this directly on top of acne or cysts. If I have a breakout, I only use the tools AROUND the area to help facilitate drainage and healing.
I prefer jade instead of rose quartz for this treatment
Are there more advices on black circles under eyes olivia ?
chamomile tea bags brewed then left in the fridge to cool are great! you can do gua sha around the eye area after you let the tea bags work their magic
dark circles under the eyes generally mean the kidneys are weak, you could look into supporting them.
Hi Olivia! can you update your non toxic hair routine for healthy curls video. I have similar hair to yours and I need help! thank you so much! :)
Starts at: 7:49
For the neck you’re supposed to do an upwards motion not down
how often should you do this?
You can do this as often as you'd like, even every night for 5-10 mins as long as you're using gentle motions & light pressure.
Hi :) do you have a favorite perfume?
Hey! I usually just wear essential oils, or sometimes the Pacifica brand from whole foods :)
Is that rose quartz
Do you have a non toxic nail polish? i cant find one ):
I feel like there are no TRUE non-toxic nail polishes on the market unfortunately because all forms of paint are going to be based on chemicals. However, polishes that are '5-free' are certainly the best choice. In this video I'm wearing "Smith & Cult" which is one of the better quote un quote "non-toxic" brands. Another fave of mine is RGB
Thank you for replying! I tried ''suncoat'' and it does not work.. I will try the ones you suggested (: LOVE YOU BTW!
Routine starts at 8:45
☀️☀️☀️💋thank you very much
I use it on certain points on my body before I do my Qi Gong.
Is a jade roller also just as sufficient???!
I feel thaat Gua Sha tools are a lot stronger/more effective than jade rollers because they have those edges & grooves that really scrape and lift the skin while moving lymph. I would choose gua sha over jade rolling any day - I see much more of a difference! x
Use gua sha at night and the jade roller for your morning skin care
Do you still use L Lysine?
Shehroz Akhtar bbb by hi
is it ok to use vitamin E oil on my face?
ELIZABETH gessling yes I do it every night and I mix it with tea tree oil
Yes, you can add some Vitamin E oil to your usual face oil / moisturizer! The one I'm using already has Vit E in it.
thanks guys!!:))
you went down on your neck but the diagram says up..
