Facial Gua Sha Pocket Guide is a clinical yet holistic step-by-step guide to facial gua sha, lymphatic drainage massage, fascia release, and natural anti-aging facial sculpting techniques for home use and professional practice.

Written by Shannon Phillips, a Medical Holistic Aesthetician, Skin Specialist, Herbalist, and founder of Volta Skin Studio in Victoria, BC. Her work blends clinical facial knowledge, herbal skincare principles, and hands-on treatment experience to create results-driven yet holistic approaches to skin health. This book reflects that integrated philosophy, combining anatomy-based understanding with practical, at-home application.

Facial gua sha is one of the most searched and misunderstood skincare practices in the world of natural beauty, holistic skincare, and non-invasive facial sculpting. When used correctly, it is a structured technique that works with facial anatomy, lymphatic pathways, fascia, circulation, microcirculation, and the nervous system to support visible changes in the face over time. This book removes confusion and replaces it with a clear, clinical-meets-holistic system that can be used at home or in professional treatment settings. It is designed for beginners, skincare enthusiasts, and practitioners who want a deeper understanding of facial structure, tension patterns, and natural lifting techniques.
Inside this book you will learn:
• How lymphatic drainage of the face and neck works for de-puffing and detoxification support
• The science of facial sculpting, contouring, and natural lifting without surgery or injectables
• How fascia holds tension patterns that affect aging, expression lines, and facial asymmetry
• Facial anatomy simplified for practical use, including muscles, skeletal structure, and connective tissue
• How circulation, microcirculation, inflammation, and blood flow affect skin tone and glow
• The role of the nervous system and vagus nerve in facial tension, stress, and aging patterns
• How to map the face into functional zones for drainage, lifting, and tension release
• How to use gua sha tools correctly, including comparing tool shapes and materials
Step-by-step techniques:

• Correct pressure, speed, angle, and directional flow for lymphatic drainage and sculpting
