How to Use an Eye scraping Stick
Eye scraping（gua sha ）sticks are designed for gentle use around the delicate eye area—always apply light pressure and avoid pulling or pressing directly on the eyeball. Follow these steps for safe and effective use:
1. Prep the Skin First Before using the eye gua sha stick, cleanse your face thoroughly. Then, apply a small amount of eye serum, facial oil, or eye cream to the eye area (upper lids, under-eyes, and temples). This creates slip, preventing friction that could irritate the thin eye skin.
2. Choose the Right Angle Hold the eye gua sha stick at a 30–45 degree angle to your skin. This shallow angle ensures the tool glides smoothly without digging into the delicate eye area.
3. Under-Eye Area (Most Common Use)
• Start at the inner corner of the under-eye (near the bridge of your nose), where puffiness often accumulates.
• Glide the stick slowly and gently outward toward the temple.
• Repeat this motion 3–5 times per under-eye. Avoid going over the same spot repeatedly to prevent redness.
4. Upper Eyelid (Optional, Extra Gentle)
• Close your eyes completely to protect the eyeball.
• Start at the inner corner of the upper eyelid (near the tear duct).
• Glide the stick softly outward toward the outer corner of the eye (not the temple—keep it close to the lash line).
• Repeat 2–3 times per upper eyelid. Use extremely light pressure here (the skin is thinner than the under-eye area).
5. Finish with Temple Relief (Optional) After working on the eyelids, gently press or glide the tip of the stick over your temples (a few inches from the outer eye corner) in small circular motions. This helps relieve tension and complements the eye-area work.
6. Post-Use Care After using the eye gua sha stick, pat any remaining serum or oil into the skin (do not rub). Clean the stick with a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser or warm water, then dry it before storing.
Key Tips for Safety & Results
• Use the tool 2–3 times per week (the eye skin needs time to recover—avoid daily use unless directed by a skincare professional).
• Never use on broken, irritated, or sunburned eye skin.
• If you have sensitive skin, eye conditions (like eczema or conjunctivitis), or are pregnant, consult a dermatologist before use.
