Myths and truths 

Myth:  The systematic use of Gua sha tools shapes the shape of the face. It improves the double chin, lifts the cheekbones, etc

Truth: The musculoskeletal structure of the face will not be affected by use. Which means that the shape will remain the same, the fat under the jaw will not be reduced (double chin) nor will the cheekbones be raised. Massaging with these tools will improve skin elasticity, texture, tone, glow and health. 

Myth: Excessive use will injure the skin. 

Truth: Proper use of the tools will not injure the skin no matter how often the use. 

Myth: For best results, tools should be stored in the refrigerator and used cold. 

Truth: Tools should be washed and stored in a moisture-free environment. Placing for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator before use is beneficial in some cases such as the face roller in the morning routine which will help reduce swelling. Unlike using gua sha in the evening routine along with the serum/ampoule, the low temperature will reduce the absorption of the serum ingredients.
