Gua Sha Facial 101 Seeing a sponsored Instagram post, I made a late-night impulse purchase of a jade stone Gua Sha tool that, yes, came with no instructions whatsoever. I wanted to experience this next-big-thing but the few how-to YouTube videos aren't great. So I signed up for a demo Chiu was giving at The Detox Market in Santa Monica, California.

And, wow, I'm glad I did. I've found my daily facial nirvana that relaxes and readies my skin for toning, moisturizing and smoothing, with visible and long-lasting results. Here's how to get your gua sha on.
