Facial Gua Sha and Acupressure Massage | Gothamista

- With so many facial tools available now, many of which come quite costly, the one I love using the most and really makes a difference to not just how my skin and face looks, but how I feel, is the gua sha. I've had gua sha body treatments for years specifically to help areas of pain and inflammation. But gua sha for the body and the face are very different.
I had my TCM practitioner teach me how to do this correctly, the technique and sequence (full disclosure, I've done it incorrectly and my face was a mess the following few days) and the different acupressure points in my face. From there, I focused on what works best for me and boy, does it work! Many of you have asked me how I use this simple tool. I incorporate facial acupressure which I never realized how much I needed until recently. Even my mood is affected after I do this facial massage so I hope you enjoy watching and can do this along with me!
I also show you how I clean my gua sha, and disinfect before I use it. #guasha

I got a jade roller and gua sha set today and this makes me so excited

Mine is on it’s way, I’m so excited too. What are you guys gonna use for moisture?
@@anaisela9788 mine came with a vitamin c serum but I prefer just lotion
@@anaisela9788 I personally bought Jojoba oil !
I just did it and it felt almost spiritual! It was very relaxing, I feel like my entire body is relaxed
whose product line did you choose?
@@christiandeleon1958 you should def use Mount Lai
Absolutely, just did it too, and got the same vibe
ok
Do you sculpt the face and jaw?
This tutorial was so fantastic! I found the pressure points almost made me cry, not in a painful way, but because there was some relief. Almost as though there was a release of some stagnant, emotional energy. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! :)
I read this comment before trying guasha and now I've done it 3 nights in a row I can totally relate! As soon as I get to my temples I feel a bit emotional relief, very unusual!
@@3lvyn what if we do it more than twice a week or do it daily
@@3lvyn did it reduced eye bag?
Wow that is good to hear. Can't wait to receive mine.
I love when we have those releases. They are priceless moments. 🙏🏻✨🧚🏻♂️👏🏻🕊

I sure did!
It is a really good routine..I feel so relaxed and my skin tone much better..
Look up ASMR !!! Relaxing videos

4:55 starts
I've had a gua sha for quite some time and just hadn't really gotten into it. But you have inspired me to start it back up. Probably really need it too. You are just so intuitive! Hope you and your fam are all in good health!
Thank you, Michele! I just ordered the Jade Sculpting Tool. I too suffer the same issues as you! I can't wait to receive it and start my daily massage!
Watched so many of those demos! But this one is by far the best one I’ve seen! The demonstration was very clear, the info were adequate and right to the point, and the presentation was delightful...
thanks
Thank you so much. This video, along with the Jade Roller video, is wonderful. My daughter-in-law gave me a lovely set to use, and thanks to you, I now know how to use them. Thanks again. 🌺
As a migraine sufferer, this is a life-saver. Just bought and received my jade roller and gua sha today. Thank you for this tutorial!

I have viewed a couple of other gua sha tutorials that didn't seem quite accurate. My stone tool, just like yours was put away. Now, having more time and organizing I discovered it again. This tutorial is great and I hope to incorporate it more! As someone with very similar stress in my face and jaw, thank you so much. This is wonderful.
I feel amazing afterwards. So glad I found out about this!!
What a wonderful demonstration in how to use the Gua Sha! I recently received one from Young Living and it's so beautiful. I was hesitant to use it until I could actually see someone doing it again. I'm definitely going to watch your video again (probably several times) and follow along! Thank you!
My goodness! This is the first (there are, for sure, more to come) of your videos I get to see and I should let you know how easy and pleasant it is to understand an watch. What a great communicator you are! Thank you!
I was recently gifted a beautiful Jade Gua Sha Set. I just found your channel and used my Gua Sha for the first time along with you! I feel absolutely amazing and more relaxed that I have felt in months!!! What an Awesome Tutorial! You have a grateful new subscriber, here!
My gosh, the difference is really noticeable. Thanks for sharing!
This is incredible!! Thank you so much. :) I bought a face roller at the grocery store here in Ecuador where I live on a whim and this face stone was also in the package and I figured it was for eyes but you really opened my whole mind to this and now I look forward to using this every day. I massaged my neck and released all the tension that I was suffering form for the past several days... the stone fixed it in minutes!
Incredibly excited to see this 刮（gua）痧（sha）traditional Chinese method of treating body and skin
Best video I’ve seen so far on this subject. And your skin is beautiful.
Wow’ I followed along and I must say- what an amazing treat. Thank you for sharing
You’ve convinced me to pursue facial massage. I got both gua sha and I will be researching TCM and acupressure. Thank you 💜
I have had Gua Sha body treatments so I'm familiar with the benefit. Looking for facial applications has been on my to-do list. So glad you posted this video!
I included this in my night time routine and I notice that my jaw is more relax now.. I can't explain it but it feels so light than ever before.. I love it!!
I wish i had skin like you, its so perfect and by the way i love your channel and i love you too 💗💗💗💗
Thank you.. just bought gua sha 2 weeks ago.. ordered it after you mentioned it in one of your video.. have learnt some technique on youtube also.. now that I watch your video, all that I have learnt so far becomes clearer.. thank you..
You are such a good teacher dear Lady and a blessing for us beginners... thank you so much from Germany 💚
My rose quartz Gua Sha just arrived & so I did this with you, wow, it's so good! I used B Oil by The Ordinary with it, it's so nice! So relaxing & now the massage shops are locked down, tension has been increasing in my neck, this is just perfect to release it. Thank you for telling me about this, I had never heard of them before this!
I just started using guasha for my face with Shea butter every morning. It really smoothen up my whole complexion. Just don't scrape it too hard
Yeah I went too hard. But my face isn’t puffy anymore!
Thanks was wondering what oil to use .
@@patriciaondego4468 I use shea butter or carrier oil like: avocado, castor and jojoba oil. It depends on how moisturize or sleek you want for your face while doing your guasha massage. Personally, any oil will as long as you clean it properly afterwards.
@@nguiky thanks mama.
I bought a gua sha made of rose quartz today, and I'll try it out tonight!
Your video was really informative and relaxing at the same time!
I just did my research on gua sha yesterday and decided to order a tool and now I see your tutorial...perfect timing!
whose product line did you choose?
cookies magic
Does anyone else notice how the side of her face that she worked on looks so plumped and glowy compared to the other side!
Yes!!
Not to sound skeptical but Does this actually work?
@@buzzmeanytime i do this in the morning when i wake up because my face gets puffy and it works xx but if u want to change ur face u should do it regularly xx
@@shayyy9098 change my face? How would I be changing my face? Can you please elaborate? Thank you
I was about to say the same. It feels lifted compared to the other side in which her eye level is lower. But to confirm i went to the start of the video to check. Looks like probably due to the illusion the lighting creates. Most importantly there is always a difference in symmetry between left and right of all our faces.
Thank you Renee! I've been debating on getting one of these gua sha tools. Now I think I'm sold since I can use it in conjunction with your tuturial here!
You are by far the very best at teaching and explaining everything in great detail thank you 😊
Just started using a Gua Sha. It's been five days and I love it so far. Thanku you for sharing this! It's very helpful 😊
I must say that I've been hesitant to try this so far - especially 'cause I do have very reactive skin. But you seem to make it work very well 😍, so thanks for this upload. I'll give it a go ☺️
So happy to wake up to this beautiful video from you! Now I just need to order a gua sha tool and get with the program :)
I've been doing facial massage periodically throughout my life and I never knew about this form of it. I'd love to try this :) thankyou for this beautiful video
I was doing it along while you were showing us how to do it and I always faced with teeth grinding. Upon doing the steps you taught, I felt so relaxed especially at the areas where I worked too much on. Thank you so much for this video!
This is a great video!! Thank you ❤️ it feels soo relaxing.
I love my Gau Sha tool so much and learnt some more techniques, thanks for posting such a great (and calming) video!
Subscribed! Oh thank heavens, a comprehensive vlog. I'm so tired of beauty vloggers that make supposedly "informational" videos based off of some fishy sources online but it end up just being for entairtainment and they don't really know much about the topic. It's a blessing now to see youtubers who actually give out the good good.
Came as soon as the notification pop up♥️ recently bought a gua Sha and this came 🙈lots of love 😘😍
Thanks so much for this tutorial, I have one but have been afraid to use it improperly and didnt really trust the sources I found when trying to look it up
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Now i know how to use my gua sha, the softness required, the acupressure points, how to use the different shapes of the gua sha. Thank you
I had a headache and was about to take some Tylenol before I watched this. I feel soooo much better and the headache is gone! Love this!
Got this for a gift and didnt know what it was..CZcams it and tried it for the first time, and surprisingly my face feels better, but the whole time I struggled to not fall asleep it felt so relaxing and good to my face 😆
My neck feels amazing after doing this. I had so much stress in my neck apparently that I had no idea of the extent of it. And my face feels lighter and bright. Great tutorial ✨😌
Relaxing just watching. I know this is random but I love the way you speak, very clear and pleasant.
Thank you for sharing. This video is so lovely- calming yet totally practical and clearly explained. I love this video and really enjoy taking time to myself to spend here - thank you!
Yo this video was super relaxing. I already feel better just using the jade roller on my face but now I am super stoked to try out this gua sha routine. Definitely gonna try it out with my bed routine and nighttime facial oil. This looks calming as heck. Thanks for sharing and doing so in such a peaceful and satisfying way!

Thank you for this video! I purchased a tool and practiced this for the first time tonight. I'm hoping to bring this habit with me into post-quarantine. Feels good to practice more self care!
Awesome explanation & demo!! Thank you!! Can't wait to try it!!
Thank u for this detailed video Renée, I ordered one and this will be a very helpful guide 👍🏼💖
yay! i'm glad you're doing a video about this! I got my gua sha tool about 3 years ago as a bday gift and i love it!
Hey! Have you seen actual change in your face shape using this?
@@real6121 i just got mine and YES
I just tried the gua sha tonight and absolutely loved it! my face looked much brighter, lighter and refreshed. I definitely recommend using it cold as it feels even better!! Thank you so much @Gothamista for this video...it definitely helped me choose the Gua sha over the jade roller ❤️
Just got my first Gua Sha stone, so happy I found your tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! Just ordered gua sha stones and am so excited to try!
Beautiful! Cant wait to give it a try! Can you please also show how to use it on the legs against cellulite and inflammation?
A much needed video from a trusted source!
Love this video it’s such a help and makes me feel so relaxed. Thank you
Thank you for making such an in-depth video! I just got a jade gua sha and I'm so excited to use it. I'll follow along with your video. 💗
Wow, I just recently purchased a gua sha. I really was thinking it would just be a relaxing facial to add to my routine, but dang! You have no idea how much this will help me on a medical level! I suffer with TMJ, Chronic migraines, and trigeminal neuralgia. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 💖🙏🏻
Can’t wait to try this routine, as I suffer from the exact same things. As well as, Glossopharygeal neuralgia.
None of which I recommend for the faint at heart.🥺
Hope you continue to find relief.
3rd one here!
Yes! I hope it can help with those nerve pain symptoms I have been experiencing.
what perfect timing, just received mine 😍
I did it with you! Its to powerful and relaxing thank you!
I did it with you and it was amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Why do I always feel so sleepy after I do any kind of face message...my eyes just want to close and I feel this coolness coming from my head into my eyes
You’re relaxed
Your fascia is releasing stress and healing and recovering after the massage. Same when someone does foam rolling on the fascia. It's an ideal state for parasympathetic nervous system 😊
The best gua sha video by far, thank you so much!!!
Did anyone else almost cried when pressing the pressure points?
I felt so emotional and relaxed at the same time.

I just bought this as a last resort for my chronic migraines and it worked so well and so fast that I almost cried from relief
Really loved this tutorial and it felt amazing.
My neck was pulled and driving me crazy for two days! I used the guasha on my neck and it released the pain immediately! Thank you for the tutorial.
I love yuo carolayn
I’ve been using my stone at night for the past year and I love it! If I go a week without it, my skin starts to look tired.
Wow! First time encountering your channel, so worth the wait!! Amazing teaching, I’m eager to start using my gua sha tonight 🙏🏻♥️✨
This tutorial was perfect and informative! First time trying gua sha and im very happy with it so far!
I didn’t know this helps with TMD and the whole relaxation of the face muscles.. all this time I thought it was just sort of depuffing and to help with the absorption of skincare products! And I have all this problems with my face muscles and just let my gua sha sit in the bathroom. Running to my bathroom right this moment to give it a try again!
Thank you for the informative video! As a dental hygienist, I really hope you've invested in a good night guard for your grinding/clenching. A proper fitting night guard is life changing for someone with TMJ and para-functional issues. It sure helped me a lot.

this video was so helpful! i’ve been using bio oil (i know some people dont like it for the face) but it leaves me glowing and has lightened my hyperpigmentation within a week!
Thank you so much for this video. I was just recommended to start using the Gua Sha tool to help find some relief for my TMJ. I had never heard of this before and was quite taken aback because I had no idea what it was and how I’d use it. I’m glad I found your video and can’t wait to get started.
I loved this video. Thank you. I have been wanting to try Gua Sha. Now that I know gothamista does it, I’m definitely going to go for it!
Thank you for the info and insights. I loved hearing your grandma used to do it! I watched your jade rolling video too...do you do use practices as part of your routine or trade off?
So so good, glad I found you!!! ❤
Got rose quartz gua sha for Christmas. Just done it using your video and I feel so relaxed. Thank you 💕 for sharing your knowledge and guidance 🙂
Thank you for this tutorial! I just tried it for the first time and it feels amazingly good. I wasn't aware of how much tension I was holding until I did it. Thanks again for the great massage!

I´ve just got my Gua Sha from Ruhi and i am so thrilled to try it out! This was such a beautiful informational video, loved it. Thanks!
my jaw has never felt better, thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I had my Gua Sha in the refrigerator. I had only ever used it for lymph node drainage but I followed along with your demo and oh my gosh! I could feel the knots and tension throughout my neck and face.

I never realized this could be used with acupressure points the way you were showing it. Thank you for that information, I can see how beneficial it might be. If you have tension in your face and body you might want to consider a supplement for decreasing inflammation. Inflammation causes other diseases to have a foothold according to some schools of thought. I hesitate to offer this as I am just a person interested in my own health and it’s how I would be looking at the tension for myself. Thanks again for the great content.
I’ll be 65 in a couple days but I must ask the silliest of questions, how do you know if you have inflammation? And where is it if I have inflammation? I’m not on any medication, only one supplement. Nothing ails me. I should loose some pounds. What affects does inflammation manifest? Thanks.
Thank you. I have one on the way. I'm really excited now!
What a great video! Just watching it made me feel relaxed 😊
Thank you so much! I followed along and nearly cried of relief when i got to the inner brows haha. didn't expect it to feel that good!

As someone who also deals with TMJ, I would love to see a video about tips to manage it!❤️
There are some stretching you can do. Bob and Brad physiotherapists have given good advice.
I used to have pretty bad TMJ where my right jaw would unhinge and hinge back frequently
and almost made a crunching noise when I closed my jaw. My parents are dentists, so I asked them for advice and here’s what I did following that: I got a night guard, stopped chewing gum, and at random points of the day if my jaw felt tense I’d massage the lower part of my jaw and unhinge my jaw slowly. It depends on the severity of it, but I’d say nightguard and the jaw massages are key.

My gua sha just arrived and I got a migraine today so I tested it out immediately using your tutorial. I felt so much relief from this. Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
Wow! Thanks for this tutorial, I love it!
That was informative. Lol, I felt relaxed just watching you do it.

how do you keep your gua sha?
wow i feel instantly relaxed. thank you so much!
Thank you so much, amazing video, very well explained. You look amazing!
My jaw is made of popcorn!
Thank you so much, I followed along and after this my skin feels "alive". I'll be doing it daily, my jaw really needs it
@justine1776 maybe they are talking about jaw is bumpy when guasha glides on jaw
