So I’m 40 now.  Well, getting close to 41 in just a few months.  My besties bought me a skin care routine set as part of my 40th birthday gift.  Previous to that celebration I really had no routine other that remove makeup and cleanse the face.  After a few weeks it became a true routine and is now part of my normal.

This summer I decided to add a face care related goal to my list of daily summer “to-do’s”.  I’ve seen so many videos about Gua Sha lately I decided why not give it a try myself.

I spent some time watching gua sha videos on Tiktok that were beginner friendly.  Several people mentioned a stainless steel gua sha tool from Amazon, so yesterday I ordered it.  It arrived this afternoon ready for action this evening.

Most users recommended using a serum or moisturizer to prep the skin.  I planned to do the jaw line gua sha with the serum and the rest with the moisturizer.

So today was day 1 of my 30 day gua sha challenge.  The challenge is basically just to go through some basic gua sha moves everyday while I am doing my nightly skin care routine.

I am trying to temper my expectations, but as a person who has yet to have any botox or injectables etc. I am really hoping to see some noticeable differences at the end of the month.
