How Often Should You Use a Gua Sha?

Gua sha has become integral in modern skincare routines, celebrated for its ability to sculpt, lift and refresh the face. But like any skincare tool, frequency is key.

Using gua sha correctly and consistently ensures you maximise its benefits without overstressing delicate facial skin. With the Lucy Bee Stainless Steel Gua Sha, you can integrate this ritual seamlessly into your routine, whether you’re targeting puffiness, the appearance of fine lines, or jaw tension. 

Daily vs Weekly Use, What’s Ideal? 

For most skin types, daily gua sha provides the best results: 

• Daily Use: Encourages circulation, lymphatic drainage and relaxation. Ideal either in your morning or evening routine.
• Weekly Use: Beneficial if your skin is sensitive or if you’re new to gua sha. Helps your skin acclimatise to the massage without overstimulation. 

Consistency matters more than duration. Even 3–5 minutes a day can deliver noticeable benefits over time, from a refreshed complexion to subtly defined facial contours. 

Morning vs Evening Routine 

The timing of your gua sha session can influence its effects

Morning: Focus on reducing puffiness, especially under the eyes and along the jawline. Start your day with a radiant, lifted appearance. 

Evening: Use gua sha to relieve tension accumulated throughout the day, relax facial muscles and improve the absorption of your serums and oils. 

Pressure, Technique, and Consistency Tips 

Gentle Pressure: Your strokes should be firm enough to glide, but not so hard that the skin reddens. The Lucy Bee Stainless Steel Gua Sha ensures smooth movement along contours without irritation. 

Technique Matters: Follow the natural lines of your face and neck. Sweep outward and upward and use the curved edges for delicate areas like under the eyes and along the brow. 

Consistency Over Duration: Short, regular sessions outperform infrequent, longer ones. 5–10 minutes a day is enough to see cumulative benefits. 

How to Fit Gua Sha Into a Busy Schedule 

Even a few minutes can make a difference: 

• Multi-task: Combine your gua sha session with serum or oil application.
• Set a Routine: Align it with your morning coffee or evening skincare ritual.
• Target Key Areas: If short on time, focus on the jawline, cheeks and under-eye area. 

Over time, these small, consistent steps help reduce puffiness, sculpt facial contours, and promote a radiant, refreshed appearance. 

Incorporate the Lucy Bee Stainless Steel Gua Sha into your daily routine for optimal results. Pair with Lucy Bee Anti-Ageing Facial Oil to enhance glide, nourish the skin and create a luxurious, spa-quality facial ritual, whether morning or evening.
