How to slim your double chin and redefine your jawline with gua sha?

Why is gua sha effective on a double chin?

Contrary to popular belief, a double chin is often accentuated by fluid retention. Lymph, the fluid responsible for eliminating toxins, tends to accumulate in the submental area when the system is sluggish.The drainage effect: The passage of the stone displaces fluids towards the lymph nodes located near the ears and neck.Fascial release: By working on the connective tissues, massage releases the tensions that pull the features downwards.Result : a sharper jawline and a neck that appears longer and slimmer.

The step-by-step ritual to sculpt the jawline

For gua sha to be truly beneficial, proper technique is essential. Here is the recommended protocol for effectively targeting the lower face:

1. Preparing the surface: applying a few drops of a nourishing oil or oil-based balm is essential. The stone should glide smoothly without ever creating excessive tension on the skin.
2. Open the floodgates: the massage always begins with the neck. Using the flat side of the gua sha, make downward movements from the top of the neck towards the collarbones to open up the lymphatic system.
3. Sculpting the jaw: the curved part of the stone (heart-shaped) should be positioned to encompass the jawbone. The movement is made from the chin towards the earlobe, with moderate pressure.
4. Draining the chin: Finally, the flat part is used under the chin to smooth the tissues outwards. It is recommended to repeat each movement 5 to 10 times per side.

When can we expect to see the first results?

Gua sha works on the very structure of the face through regularity. The effects on a double chin are generally among the quickest to appear.
