THE INVG Facial Sculpt Gua Sha
Ritual Guide
A practitioner-led guide to facial sculpting, lymphatic drainage, and tension release using the INVG Facial Sculpt Gua Sha.
The INVG Facial Sculpt Gua Sha is a precision-crafted stainless steel facial massage tool rooted in the ancient practice of gua sha from Traditional Chinese Medicine. The term gua sha comes from the Chinese characters guā (刮), meaning "to scrape," and shā (痧), referring to the redness that appears on the skin as stagnation is released.
Facial gua sha is a gentler adaptation of this practice, using light, controlled strokes to stimulate facial meridians, improve Qi and blood circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage, and restore tone and radiance to the skin. Unlike body gua sha, facial gua sha should never leave marks when performed correctly.
At 90g of solid stainless steel, the INVG Facial Sculpt Gua Sha is heavier and more durable than jade or resin alternatives. The weight does the work for you. Just hold and glide.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CARING FOR YOUR GUA SHA
Always apply a facial oil or serum before use.
The tool must glide smoothly across the skin. Never use it on dry skin as this can cause dragging and irritation. A few drops of your preferred facial oil is all you need.
Clean before and after every use.
Wash with mild soap and warm water, or wipe with a gentle alcohol-free cleanser. Rinse well and dry completely before storing. Stainless steel is non-porous and will not harbour bacteria or absorb product residue with proper care.
Store in the included pouch.
Keep your Gua Sha in its linen pouch when not in use to protect the polished surface and prevent scratches.
Keep it cool for extra benefits.
Store your Gua Sha in the fridge before use. The naturally cool stainless steel surface enhances the de-puffing effect, and a chilled tool feels deeply soothing on the skin first thing in the morning.
The Long Curve
The broad, sweeping curve along the body of the tool is designed for larger areas of the face and neck. Use this edge for long, gliding strokes along the jawline, across the cheeks, and up the forehead. Its smooth surface distributes pressure evenly, making it ideal for sculpting contours and encouraging lymphatic flow.
The Notched Edge
The jagged, textured edge is designed for targeted work on areas of tension. Use it along the jaw muscle to release clenching and TMJ tightness, across the brow bone, and along the sides of the neck. The notches create a gentle kneading action against the muscle fibres, helping to break up fascial tension and stimulate deeper circulation.
The Long Curve
The smaller, narrower end of the tool allows you to work around delicate areas with precision. Use it under the eyes to de-puff, along the nasolabial folds (the lines from nose to mouth), and around the orbital bone. Light, featherweight pressure is all that is needed here.
THE RITUALS
Always begin with a clean face and a few drops of facial oil or serum. Before every session, warm the tool by running it under warm water for 30 to 60 seconds, or by placing it in a bowl of warm water while you cleanse your face. Never use the Gua Sha cold on the skin. Warmth relaxes the facial muscles, opens the pores, and allows the tool to work more effectively into areas of tension. Every stroke should move upward and outward across the face, following the direction of lymphatic flow. Let the weight of the tool do the work. No pressure is needed beyond holding and guiding.
The Neck & Décolletage — Open the Drainage Pathways
Always start here. Before working the face, you need to open the lymphatic pathways in the neck so that fluid has somewhere to drain. Using the long curved edge, sweep from the centre of the collarbone upward toward the earlobe. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side. Then place the tool at the base of the ear and sweep downward along the side of the neck to the collarbone. Repeat 3 to 5 times. This clears the way for everything that follows.
Duration: 1 to 2 minutes
The Jawline & Cheeks — Sculpt and Release
Place the long curved edge at the centre of your chin. Glide along the jawline toward the earlobe in one firm, steady stroke. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side. Then switch to the notched edge and work along the jaw muscle (the masseter) using short, gentle strokes. Most people carry far more tension here than they realise, especially if you clench or grind your teeth. Move to the cheeks, starting beside the nose and sweeping outward toward the hairline. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side.
Duration: 2 to 3 minutes
The Under-Eyes & Forehead — De-Puff and Smooth
Using the pointed tip or the narrow end of the tool, gently sweep from the inner corner of the eye outward toward the temple. Use featherlight pressure here. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the body. Repeat 3 to 5 times on each side. Then move to the forehead. Place the long curved edge at the centre of the forehead and sweep outward toward the temples. Repeat across the full width of the forehead, working from the brow line up to the hairline. Finish by pressing gently into the temple area and holding for a few breaths.
Duration: 2 to 3 minutes
The Full Facial Ritual — Morning Glow
This combines all three rituals into one complete session. Begin with the neck to open drainage pathways. Move to the jawline and cheeks for sculpting and tension release. Then work the under-eyes and forehead for de-puffing and smoothing. Finish by sweeping behind the ears and down the neck to the collarbone to complete the drainage cycle. For maximum de-puffing, chill the tool in the fridge for 10 minutes beforehand. This full ritual is best done in the morning, before makeup, when overnight fluid retention is at its peak.
Duration: 5 to 10 minutes · daily or as desired
ACUPRESSURE POINTS
As you glide the Gua Sha across the face and neck, you will naturally pass over several important acupressure points. You do not need to locate them precisely. Regular practice along the natural contours of the face will stimulate them as part of the ritual.
LI 20 — Yíng Xiāng
Welcome Fragrance
Located in the groove beside each nostril. Traditionally used to open the nasal passages, relieve sinus congestion, and improve complexion clarity. You will pass over this point each time you sweep from the nose outward across the cheek.
ST 6 — Jiá Chē
Jaw Chariot
Found in the belly of the jaw muscle, about one fingerbreadth in front of and above the angle of the jaw. This point is essential for releasing jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and TMJ tightness. Use the notched edge to press gently and work this area.
EX-HN 5 — Tài Yáng
Supreme Yang
Located in the tender depression at the temples. One of the most effective points for relieving headaches, migraines, and eye strain. Finish your forehead strokes by pressing gently into this area and holding.
