There\u2019s a good reason why Gua Sha, the Chinese scraping massage, has been practised for more than 2,000 years \u2013 it works. Having looked at facial yoga in Parts 1 and 2 of this series, here you\u2019ll find out how Gua Sha can be used specifically to tackle sagging cheeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gua Sha on the face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gua Sha reaches deep into the muscles and connective tissue. Whilst we often use a lot of pressure when scraping the back, we adjust the pressure on the face: gently to stimulate the lymphatic system, and a little firmer to stimulate the facial muscles and boost collagen production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which scrapers are suitable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my book or online course, you\u2019ll learn how to treat the whole face. For the jawline, however, a Chinese porcelain spoon or the lid of a narrow glass will do just fine. If you\u2019re looking for professional-grade tools, you\u2019ll find the right scrapers here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to do it: The massage steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always apply to clean skin and use a high-quality oil (organic). It\u2019s best to massage it in in the evening so that your skin can regenerate overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Define the jawline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Place the scraper (or spoon) in the centre of your chin and, applying gentle pressure, draw it along the contour of your face up to your ear. Repeat this several times until your skin is reddened. If you have a fish scraper, use the tail end to trace the outline of your chin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gua<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Steps 2 & 3: Lifting the cheek area<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now massage in a horizontal line from the centre of the chin towards the ear. Then move the scraper in a circular motion from the centre of the chin upwards towards the top of the ear. Make sure there is always enough oil on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps 4 & 5: Stimulate acupressure points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thoroughly scrape the area next to the nostrils. To finish, massage two key points: directly next to the corners of the mouth and in a straight line directly beneath the outer corner of the eye, just below the cheekbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Akupressurpunkte<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Important to know: the jaw and neck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you hear a \u201ecrunching\u201c sound in your jawbone, this is often caused by tension. A relaxed jaw is essential for a relaxed neck. Use the scraper on your neck as well (scraping from top to bottom), as shortened neck muscles pull your facial features downwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
