FIRST THINGS FIRST

Start Everyday with the Aura Ritual

Dry brush daily and apply the Aura Activator and Aura Oil to maximize your results. Focus on a different area of the body with gua sha each day.

If you experience bruising or marks from gua sha, wait until bruising has faded before working on it again.

This video will demonstrate the full Aura Ritual step-by-step.

Today's tutorial will focus on relieving pain and tension in the lower back.
