Masterclass - Clinical Rituals: Gua Sha for Lymphatic Flow, Tension Release & Product Absorption

Masterclass Overview

Date: TBD
Location: Montreal, QC
Duration: 2h
Language: Offered in English and French (adapted to participants)

This advanced facial ritual masterclass is led by the Founder of LILIXIR, a Certified Organic & Natural Skincare Formulator, combining formulation science, skin physiology, and clinical technique to elevate how Gua Sha is practiced in modern skincare.

This is not trend-based beauty education. It is a science-informed facial ritual training designed to help you understand why Gua Sha works, when it works, and how to use it safely and effectively to support skin function.

You will learn how mechanical stimulation, lymphatic flow, and product application interact — transforming Gua Sha from a relaxation tool into a results-driven skincare protocol.

You will learn how mechanical stimulation, when performed correctly, supports fluid dynamics, microcirculation, and product penetration, transforming your skincare routine into a results-driven ritual rather than a surface-level practice.

What You Will Learn

1. Lymphatic Flow & Skin Physiology

Understand how lymphatic drainage supports:

• Fluid balance and de-puffing
• Waste removal at the tissue level
• Skin clarity and resilience

Learn the anatomical pathways relevant to facial drainage and why direction, pressure, and rhythm matter.

2. Tension Release & Facial Stress Patterns

Chronic muscle tension affects:

• Expression lines
• Jaw tightness
• Brow and forehead stress
• Facial asymmetry

You will learn targeted techniques to release tension safely without overstimulation.

3. Product Absorption Science

Led by a certified skincare formulator, this section explains:

• How oils and serums interact with skin structure
• Why slip, viscosity, and ingredient composition matter
• When Gua Sha enhances penetration — and when it doesn’t
• How to pair botanical formulations with mechanical techniques

This bridges skincare formulation science with facial ritual practice.

4. Safe Technique & Common Mistakes

• Correct pressure levels
• Contraindications
• Skin states when Gua Sha should be avoided
• Overuse risks and barrier sensitivity

Who this masterclass is for

• People experiencing puffiness or fluid retention
• Those with jaw, brow, or facial tension
• Skincare users who want better product performance
• Individuals interested in evidence-informed beauty rituals
• Anyone seeking non-invasive support for skin vitality

Outcome

You will understand how to perform Gua Sha with precision and intention — improving circulation, relieving facial tension, and maximizing the effectiveness of your skincare products.
