I Learned Gua Sha in China. Here’s What Most People Get Wrong

Most people use Gua Sha by simply scraping everything upward—but that’s not how traditional Chinese Gua Sha is actually practiced.

I learned Gua Sha in China, and in this video I’ll show you the techniques that make the biggest difference: how to hold the tool, where to apply pressure, which direction to move, and the common mistakes that can pull on the skin without actually creating the lifted, sculpted look you want.

The key is not to scrape harder or simply push everything upward.

*Deep and controlled, not superficial and aggressive.*

You’ll learn how to:

• Prep the skin so the tool glides without unnecessary friction

• Use the right angle and pressure

• Work with facial structure instead of simply pulling the skin upward

• Avoid common Gua Sha mistakes around the cheeks and eyes

• Use traditional Chinese Gua Sha techniques for a more lifted, defined appearance

Gua Sha is a traditional practice, and claims about “lifting” should be understood as cosmetic appearance rather than the equivalent of a surgical facelift.
