Video: Gua Sha for Jawline & Cheeks

A defined jawline and sculpted cheeks help give a radiant, youthful complexion. While genetics play a role, incorporating a gua sha tool into your skincare ritual can enhance your facial contours, reduce puffiness and improve circulation. The Lucy Bee Stainless Steel Gua Sha is expertly crafted to glide smoothly along facial curves, offering a professional-level facial massage at home. 

Step-by-Step Jawline & Cheek Contour Technique 

Prep Your Skin

Start with a clean face and apply a few drops of Lucy Bee Anti-Ageing Facial Oil to ensure smooth gliding. This nourishes the skin and prevents friction. 

Hold the Tool Correctly

Position your gua sha at a 15-degree angle against the skin. The flatter the angle, the gentler the massage; the steeper, the more sculpting effect.

Below, you’ll also find a detailed step-by-step breakdown so you can revisit the technique anytime. 

Jawline Sweep

Begin at the chin and gently sweep along the jawline toward the ears using upward, outward strokes. Repeat 3–5 times. 

Cheek Contour

Move to the cheeks, gliding from the sides of the nose toward the temples. Follow the natural contours for a lifting effect. 

Finishing Touch

Repeat each movement until both sides feel relaxed and sculpted. Light pressure is key, make sure you let the tool do the work. 

Use the  Lucy Bee Stainless Steel Gua Sha combined with Lucy Bee Anti-Ageing Facial Oil for the ultimate facial massage.
