THE GUA SHA RITUAL
$55.00
The tool and the GS1 Glide Nectar together. It is how I use them, and the pair costs less bought this way than separately.
Five minutes in the morning or at night, and you can see it the same day.
WHAT IT DOES
Circulation. Skin takes its color from the blood underneath it. Working the tool over the face brings that blood up to where you can see it, and a winter spent sitting still in heated rooms is exactly when you want to. The flush afterward is the point.
Glow. Two things make skin look lit. A smooth surface for light to bounce off, which a polish handles, and good color underneath it, which the tool handles. The two of them together are what shows up in photographs.
Structure. Faces hold tension in the jaw, the brow and the band across the cheek, and fluid pools overnight. Massage moves both, so the face reads lifted and less set, and you see that the same day. Underneath that, skin holds its shape with structural proteins, collagen among them, and your fibroblasts build those in response to mechanical work. The lift and structure accumulate over time.
MORNING OR EVENING
Both work, and they do slightly different jobs.
Morning is for puffiness. Fluid settles in the face overnight, and a few minutes with a cold tool moves it before you are out the door. The steel one is my favorite for exactly that, because it holds the cold.
Evening is for tension. If you clench your jaw or spend the day at a screen with your brow tight, that is held in muscle rather than fluid, and it releases better when you are winding down. It also means you sleep on a face that is not braced.
I do mine whenever I notice I need it. The only wrong time is the one you will not keep.
HOW I USE MINE
Clean skin, then three or four drops of the GS1 Glide Nectar. Enough that the tool slides with no effort at all.
Start at the center of the face and work outward and up, following the bone. Jaw from chin to ear. Cheek from nose to temple. Brow from the middle out. Three to five passes each side, light pressure, and down the side of the neck at the end to let the fluid go somewhere.
One rule: never drag.
The redness is good. Gua sha literally means scraping redness, and that flush is your circulation arriving where you can see it. It settles within the hour.
What you are avoiding is the tool grabbing and pulling the skin along with it, because that stretches skin past the place it springs back from and takes structure out over time. If the tool catches, add more oil. Start gently and let it build, because skin gains resilience to this, so the pressure you use in March is not the pressure you start with.
If you are breaking out, go around the active spots rather than over them and wash the tool afterward.
THE GLIDE NECTAR
GS1 is built for exactly this: slow enough that the tool keeps moving, light enough that it does not sit on the face afterward. A face oil meant for the hands is usually too thin, and a balm is too stiff. This is the middle, and it is what lets the tool glide.
CHOOSING YOURS
They all work well. The edges feel different from one another, and they are not equally intense, so here is how I use each one. I own all four.
- Stainless steel is the intense one, so you do not need to go as long with it. It holds the cold, which feels wonderful on a puffy morning, and it is the one doing the most for collagen. This is the one I reach for when I am tired.
- Mahogany is the gentle one, warm and light in the hand. You can work longer with it, and it gets into the deeper muscle better than the steel does.
- Green jade is the traditional stone and sits between the steel and the mahogany for intensity. Chill it in the freezer and it comes out properly cold, and the shape is ergonomic, so it is the easiest one to hold.
- White jade is the same stone and the same middle intensity, freezer included. It is also the prettiest one sitting out on a shelf.
Every option comes with the GS1 Glide Nectar, in 15ml or 30ml.
Both work, and they do slightly different jobs.

One rule, and it is the only one that matters: never drag.
The redness is the point. Gua sha literally means scraping redness, and that flush is your circulation arriving where you can see it. It settles within the hour. Broken capillaries are a different thing, and enough oil and a little judgment keeps you well clear of them.
What you are avoiding is drag. Skin stretches and springs back, and it has a limit. When the tool glides, the work goes down into the tissue. When it grabs and pulls the skin along with it, you are stretching past the point it returns from, and that takes structure out over time instead of putting it in.
If the tool catches, add more oil. Start gently and let it build, because skin gains resilience to this, so the pressure you use in March is not the pressure you start with.
If you are breaking out, go around the active spots rather than over them and wash the tool afterward.
Circulation. Skin takes its color from the blood underneath it. A winter spent sitting still in heated rooms means less of it reaches the surface, which is a good part of why faces look gray by January. Working the tool over the face brings that blood up where you can see it.

Underneath that, skin holds its shape with structural proteins, collagen among them, and your fibroblasts build those in response to mechanical work. That part is slower, and the lift and structure accumulate over time.
They all do the same work, so pick the one you will actually reach for.
- Stainless steel stays cold, which feels wonderful on a puffy morning. It is the one I use and the one most of you buy.
- Mahogany is warm and light in the hand, and the quietest to use.
- Jade, green or white, is the traditional stone and the prettiest sitting on a shelf.
Every option comes with the GS1 Glide Nectar, 30ml.
GS1 is not a filler I put in to round out a set. It is built for exactly this: slow enough that the tool keeps moving, light enough that it does not sit on the face afterward. A face oil meant for the hands is usually too thin, and a balm is too stiff. This is the middle, and it is the reason the tool works instead of scratching.
You cannot do this properly without the oil, which is why I stopped selling the two apart.

Can’t explain the magic.
I love the gift card it is an easy way to share first class skin care with my family and friends. My sister also loves the products . Thank you
I love Rae’s organic , natural, yummy products! You can feel it’s infused with her genuine care and extensive knowledge! Her courses on making natural products are amazing too! Thank you, Rae!
Love the Rose ceramid the scent itself transforms me to pure bliss. 100% this cream will be in my beauty regimen forever ♥️
The F34 exfoliating scrub leaves my face feeling so clean and soft. The F19 Just Fruit serum is one of my all time favorites and never disappoints. I love how it smells and feels on my skin. The F7 serum with vitamin C is always a good addition to my routine.
Love supporting this small business that genuinely cares about skincare ingredients and providing the best products possible. They feel fantastic, smell fantastic and work like magic
These products are the best! Would not go without them.
Such a fresh scent and invigorating feel in the skin!
This is my 2nd time buying this and I love the smell and how it really glides on my skin giving it super hydration! I decided to get the travel size so I can take it with me on our trips!
This is my second time buying this and I love it! It feels so great on my skin and smells delicious! My skin feels softer! No more dry skin!
As always, our order arrived on time and the woman in my life simply adores it. Thanks heaps for the great service.
Love that it is light and gentle enough to use everyday. No tight, dry feeling afterwards! I will be alternating between this and the F44 scrub a few times a week 💐
I've been purchasing the vanilla cream for several years now, I won't go back to off the shelf, large batch, industrial "skin care" full of chemicals. The vanilla cream is just out of this world! The scent of it, the way it makes my skin look and feel, the way the scent blooms again when I get a kiss from one of my dogs....it's always a part of my daily skin care routine, and I won't go back to mainstream skin care, EVER. Thank YOU Formula Flawless!!!
When I run out of this, I usually cry! Once you start using these sprays, you won’t want to be without them. I take them to work and leave one at each building I work at. At any time, I can easily refresh and get that jolt of satisfaction that I can escape harsh lighting and reality with a simple spritz of this magnificent spray. I enjoy both scents and they take turns being my favorite.
I don’t know why but originally I thought this was for men but if it is, I don’t care. Haha! I use this after my F8 in the mornings and it glides on to protect me throughout my day and gets my skin ready for the day!
I added this into my regimen but I keep it only for evening. It’s like tucking my skin in with hopes that is makes my dreams come true. Ahaha! It’s so kind and dreamy and lovely. You must try this and see if you wake up smiling! Dreams do come true. I also link these ritual with affirmations and kind talk to myself. Enjoy and celebrate any day any time.
Even after all these years of being a loyal customer, I don’t think I ever missed putting this on my shopping list. It’s a NEED. I ran out one time and let me tell you, you don’t want to be without this. It seems to match my skin and be a part of it. It’s luminous and kind and never sticky or heavy. It’s an all year around love of mine. It’s perfection. I recommend this product the most since I feel it is beautiful for each and every single skin type. I swear it’s made for everyone no matter their skin desires.
A staple. I believe this actually feeds the skin on some cosmic level. It’s pure delight and gives my skin strength. This also goes a long way! Try it for super smooth flawless skin!
This scrub is intense! Want to feel invigorated and super clean? Lean into this one for massive wake up energy!
Once autumn is on the horizon and know it’s time to grab the 108 for extra love and attention. I don’t use this product during the summer. I love to use this oil in the evening and give myself a love bomb before bed!
You can’t get a better mask. Most masks are drying but this one seems to have to opposite effect by producing a little glow to your skin. It’s powerful and a little goes a long way so you can enjoy it and celebrate any day and glow from within!
This scent is extremely captivating and I love the way this oil feels. It’s silky smooth and gives me extra intoxicating confidence.
The oil is invigorating and has a delicious scent that my skin craves. It’s a masterclass in luxury meeting healthy which is my favorite pairing of all time! I adore this product and it’s always on my list.
Love this serum so much! Your skin is visibly lighter and more even toned after just a few days. It also smells incredible!
Such a wonderful eye cream another can't live without!
My favorite product - can't live without it!
some rich and creamy - one of my go to products!
I love the fragrance of the vanilla Rose facial spray and look forward to trying some of the other Rose products. F3 has been a game changer for me.
Amazing product. Love it.
Always a delight to use these Products. They really are the best formulas I have ever tried. And they really take care of their clients.
I love love, love this body serum. I have all four and constantly am applying it to my legs, arms abdominal morning and night. Thank you for creating such a body luxury Julie McGinley❤️
Feels great - light soothing
I'm about 2 weeks in using the serum. My skin feels calmed and nourished.
I use this 2 - 3 times per week in the shower and it is so nourishing and moisturizing. I keep it in the fridge when I'm not using it because my master bathroom is hot in the summer and I know it's made of super fresh ingredients.
I’ve been diligent about using this product morning and night. Surface of my skin tone is evening out, dark spots have begun to lighten. So thank ful for this gem of a facial product
Rich and creamy
Each time I receive a box of goodies from Formula Flawless it’s like Christmas! Thank you so much! I was especially excited to try a new product F7 that was included. It smells heavenly and my skin slurped it up so nicely leaving my face feeling so smooth and moisturized. Another winner❤️ much love to both of you ❤️
Rae is amazing and knows her shit!
I could not be more pleased with Formula Flawless! From ease of ordering, the anticipation, and then the arrival and....oh my! Just opening the box is an experience. You are immediately greeted with the most lovely aroma, and that's just from the thoughtful packing. There were beautiful gifts sent along with my purchase, all thoughtfully curated for my personal skin issues. As expected, her recommendation was spot on! Thank you Rae, you are Flawless!
