OUR STANDARDS
What it actually is
A polished stainless-steel face tool for an optional skin-care step. Material alone does not tell you whether a tool suits your skin. Follow the care instructions, keep pressure light, and stop if use causes pain or irritation. Ask a qualified professional if you have a skin condition or are unsure about using it.
Material
Polished stainless steel, one solid piece. No coating, no plating, nothing to wear off.
Material and care
Polished stainless steel. Check the tool before use, follow the cleaning instructions, and dry it before storage. Stop using it if it is damaged. The material is not a guarantee of suitability or a promised lifespan.
Care
Follow the tool's care instructions. There is no promised comparison with stone tools.
Cleaning
Hot soapy water, or an alcohol wipe. Not dishwasher safe.
ONE RULE: EVERY STROKE ENDS AT THE NECK
The five-stroke face map
Clean skin, then a few drops of oil or your usual moisturiser so the tool glides — it should never drag. Then these five, in this order, both sides.
-
1 Jaw to ear Chin outward, along the bone
Flat side of the tool, shallow angle. Start at the centre of the chin and sweep along the jawbone out to the earlobe. Three or four passes a side. Finish each one just under the ear and pause there for a beat — that is where you are sending everything.
-
2 Cheek to temple Nose outward, over the cheekbone
From beside the nose, out across the cheekbone to the temple. Let the curved edge sit along the bone rather than pressing into the soft part. This is where people press hardest and end up red; you do not win this by pressing harder.
-
3 Under the eye, feather-light Inner corner outward
The smallest end of the tool, barely touching the skin. From the inner corner outward along the bone under the eye to the temple. Two passes, no more. If it drags at all, stop and add more oil.
-
4 Brow and forehead Along the brow, then up
Along the brow bone from the inner brow out to the temple. Then short upward strokes from the brow to the hairline, working across the forehead. This is the one for a forehead that feels tight and heavy first thing.
-
5 An optional finishing step Light pressure, no result to chase
A face tool is an optional skin-care step, not a treatment. Follow the tool's instructions, do not press harder to chase a result, and stop if use causes pain or irritation. Ask a qualified professional if you have a skin condition or are unsure whether the tool suits you.
Dry brushing is an optional skin-care step. Do not use it or a supplement to treat a medical concern. Check whether exfoliation suits your skin, keep pressure light, and stop if brushing causes irritation.
When, and how often
How often
Once a day is plenty, and daily is fine. Twice a day is not twice as good — the tissue you are working on does not refill that quickly.
When
Mornings, if puffiness is the thing you notice, because that is when it is most obvious. Evenings, if you want it as a wind-down. Pick one and keep it.
How long
Two minutes. Five strokes, three or four passes each, both sides. That genuinely is the whole routine.
When not to
Not over active breakouts, broken skin, sunburn or anything inflamed — you will spread it. Recent injectables or facial treatment? Ask whoever did it when you can start again.
Keeping it clean
After every use
Warm water and a little soap, then dry it properly. Steel will not rust, but a damp tool put back in a drawer picks up lint and whatever else is in there.
Once a week
Wipe it over with surgical spirit or an alcohol wipe, especially if you are prone to breakouts. It takes ten seconds and it is the difference between a tool that helps and one that reseeds.
Storage
Store the clean, dry tool in a place where it will not be damaged. Follow the care instructions.
Never
Not in the dishwasher. Heat and detergent dull the polish, and a dull edge drags.

Questions
How often should I use it?
Follow the tool's instructions. Frequency depends on your skin; stop if use causes pain or irritation.
What are the five strokes?
Jaw to ear. Cheek to temple. Under the eye, feather-light. Along the brow and up the forehead. Then always down the neck to the collarbone — that last one is the one people skip and the one that matters.
Do I need oil?
Yes, something to let it glide — a facial oil, a serum or your usual moisturiser. Never use it on bare dry skin; dragging is how you end up red.
Does it go in the fridge?
Follow the tool's instructions for storage and use. Cooling is not a promised result or a reason to use a tool on irritated skin.
How do I clean it?
Hot soapy water after every use and dry it properly. Once a week, wipe it with surgical spirit — especially if you are prone to breakouts. Never the dishwasher; heat and detergent dull the polish.
Why steel rather than jade or rose quartz?
This tool is made from polished stainless steel. Choose a tool based on its instructions and whether it suits your skin, not an unverified material comparison.
Do I need the drops as well?
No. The gua sha is a standalone skin-care tool. A supplement is not needed to use it.
