TUTORIAL

Gua Sha Basic Technique On The Body

Gua sha on the body is very different from gua sha on the face. This is an opportunity to listen to your body and get to know it a little better.

Start by dry brushing with the Aura Sweeper, prep skin with Aura Seaweed Detox Body Mist, then apply Aura Rose Pepper Body Toning Oil. You're ready for gua sha.

— 1 —
Pick the area you'd like to work on. We recommend one area each day - ie. the abdomen, the thighs, the upper arms, the butt etc.

— 2 —
Always apply the Aura Activator and Aura Oil to provide the perfect slip. Never gua sha over dry skin. Hold the stone at about a 45-degree angle to the skin.

— 3 —
Experiment with the different edges of your Aura Stone. This practice is an exercise in listening to your body. Use as much pressure as feels good.

If you experiencing bruising, wait until the bruise has faded to work on that area again.

FIELD NOTES

Flush it out.

During this challenge, water is your ally. Don’t forget to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! We’ll keep reminding you. Drinking water helps to flush out anything that’s being moved (lymph, stored toxins, cellular waste, etc.), ultimately promoting clear and hydrated skin.
