Applying a face oil first reduces friction from the scraping motion of the Gua Sha. It also helps the Gua Sha glide better for a more smooth and flowing movement.

Using a Gua Sha with the face oil can also help the face oil penetrate deeper into the skin, for enhanced moisturization!

Use just enough pressure to feel relief, but not so much that you leave marks all over your skin. The scraping motion will leave your skin a bit red and flushed due to the increased circulation, but it should subside within minutes.

Avoid scraping over any open wounds, and only scrape once the wound has healed fully.

This is all up to you! Some people use the Gua Sha only a few seconds a day to massage a few trouble spots, and some people like to use it for long thirty minute massage sessions.

The tutorial video is a good guideline on some ways you can use the Gua Sha, but there's no set routine. Do what feels right for you, and feel free to share what works for you with us!

Does the Gua Sha come with a protective bag?

After you are done your massage, wash the Gua Sha with soap and water, and dry it off with a towel. Place the Gua Sha back in the velvet pouch that it came with and store in a safe place.

Do not use your Gua Sha if it is chipped or broken. Our Gua Sha is made of delicate Bian Stone, so take care not to drop it on hard surfaces and always store it in the velvet protective pouch that it came with when not in use.

If your Gua Sha arrived damage, please contact us as soon as possible at info@lovevelvette.com, and we'd be more than happy to replace it for you!

Our Exfoliating Mitts are finely knit in a special way that effectively grips onto dead skin and rolls it off painlessly! If at any point you feel pain, you're rubbing too hard. Rub firmly, not aggressively!

You've just revealed fresh new skin, so take good care of it by putting a moisturizer, like our Essential Body Oil on top! You'll find your moisturizers will absorb much better since the dead layer of skin that used to be on top is no longer there.

If you have sensitive skin, make sure to patch test first to ensure you are using an appropriate amount of pressure for your skin. Some redness is normal during the scrubbing process, but it should subside quickly within minutes of scrubbing.

Avoid rubbing on any open wounds, and only scrub once the wound has healed fully.

After you are done exfoliating, wash the mitt with soap and water. These mitts shrink once they get wet, so it's important to stretch them into shape before hanging dry.

We recommend replacing your mitts after 10 weeks. Due to the fine and intricate knitting structure of the fibers, the mitt may lose efficacy over time. For hygienic reasons, it's also difficult to fully wash away 10 weeks of accumulated dead skin from the mitt.

First, cut the elastic band off. Then, place the fabric part of the exfoliating mitt in the compost bin, and the elastic band in the garbage bin. The outer packaging is made of paper, and can be recycled.
