How to use Gua Sha in your morning or evening beauty routine?

Gua Sha is an ancient beauty ritual derived from traditional Chinese medicine. Used for centuries to boost circulation, smooth features, and promote a radiant complexion, it has become a staple of modern wellness routines.

At Cocoon Paris, we consider it to be much more than just a massage tool: it's a gesture of reconnection, a moment of slowness and care, that we offer to ourselves.

Why use Gua Sha in your daily life?

Just a few minutes a day are enough to feel the benefits:

  • Brighter complexion

  • Reduced bags and dark circles

  • Better penetration of care

When practiced regularly, Gua Sha reveals more relaxed skin, while giving you a moment just for you. Our Gua Sha Cocoon Paris is made of rose quartz , a stone known for its soothing properties, ideal for sensitive skin.

How to use a Gua Sha?

For a gentle massage, the skin needs a substance. That's why we recommend using an oil tailored to your facial needs.

Our Cocoon Paris Sensory Oil was designed for just that: a synergy of plant oils (prickly pear, argan, carrot) that nourishes, illuminates, and prepares the skin for massage. Its fine, silky texture absorbs easily without leaving a greasy film.

Available alone or in our Gua Sha & Oil set , to give as a gift or to treat yourself.

Three simple gestures to adopt with Gua Sha

Here are three moves you can incorporate into your routine to feel the effects from the first uses:

  1. Sculpt the cheekbones
    Slide the Gua Sha from the corner of the mouth to the temples, following the natural line of the cheekbone.

  1. Drain the eye area
    Using the rounded part of the tool, work from the inside of the eye outwards, using light movements.

  1. Smooth the forehead
    Use the flat side to smooth from the center of the forehead toward the temples, gently.

These simple and effective actions can be done every day in just a few minutes!

Morning routine: awaken features, activate radiance

In the morning, a few steps are enough to gently stimulate the face:

  1. Cleanse your skin.

  2. Warm a few drops of our Sensory Oil between your hands.

  3. Apply all over face and neck.

  4. Perform your Gua Sha gestures (cheekbones, eyes, forehead) in upward movements.

  5. Finish with gentle pressure on the temples.

An express ritual, ideal for boosting circulation and restoring a fresh complexion.

The evening routine: relax, soothe, regenerate

In the evening, the massage can become a real facial treatment, but also a moment of calm.

  1. Remove makeup and cleanse your skin thoroughly.

  2. Apply Cocoon Paris Sensory Oil with enveloping gestures.

  3. Target areas of tension: jaws, temples, eyebrows.

  4. Perform the three key movements (cheekbones, eyes, forehead) slowly and with presence.

This massage promotes cellular regeneration and helps you sleep more peacefully.
