The Art & Science of Gua Sha Masterclass
When: Saturday, December 12th, 1:00 PM
Duration: 2 - 3 hours
Where: Montreal, Québec
Language: English and French
Tickets Type: General Admission, VIP and Private Founder Session
Are you sure you're using your Gua Sha correctly?
The angle, direction, pressure and frequency of your movements matter more than most people realize.
A technique performed incorrectly or with excessive pressure can cause irritation, bruising, aggravate reactive skin and work against the skin's natural balance. Following a social media tutorial without understanding facial anatomy or your own skin's needs is not always the best approach.
Gua Sha is more than moving a beautiful stone across your face. Understanding the technique is what makes the difference.
Join LILIXIR for an intimate, hands-on masterclass where we bring together facial massage techniques, skin science and the art of mindful skincare.
This is your opportunity to understand not only HOW to use Gua Sha, but WHY each movement matters.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
1. FACIAL ANATOMY & LYMPHATIC FLOW
Understand the facial lymphatic pathways, where fluid naturally accumulates, and how movement direction, rhythm and pressure influence facial massage.
2. THE ART OF CORRECT GUA SHA TECHNIQUE
Learn the correct angle, hand positioning, pressure and movement direction for different areas of the face. Practice step by step under expert guidance.
3. FACIAL TENSION & RELAXATION
Explore techniques for the jaw, forehead and brow areas. Understand how facial tension develops and how gentle massage can support relaxation.
4. SKINCARE FORMULATION & PRODUCT ABSORPTION
Discover how facial oils, serums and botanical formulations interact with the skin during massage. Learn how to choose and sequence products for an effective facial ritual.
5. COMMON MISTAKES, CONTRAINDICATIONS & SKIN SAFETY
Understand which techniques to avoid, when less pressure is needed, how to recognize signs of irritation and when Gua Sha should be postponed.
6. YOUR PERSONAL FACIAL RITUAL
Put everything into practice and leave with a step-by-step routine you can confidently incorporate into your skincare practice.
MEET YOUR HOST: Lilia, FOUNDER OF LILIXIR
This masterclass is led by Lilia, Founder and CEO of LILIXIR, a Montréal-based Climate-Adaptive Botanical Skincare brand.
With a background in software engineering and financial systems, Lilia's interest in skincare began through her own experience with digital fatigue and the effects of demanding screen-based work on her skin.
Her curiosity evolved into a serious commitment to cosmetic science, leading her to pursue professional education in organic and natural skincare formulation, advanced organic cosmetic science, cosmetic preservation and stability testing, and beauty brand management.
Today, she combines her formulation knowledge with a passion for skin education, botanical ingredients and evidence-informed beauty rituals.
LILIXIR's skincare formulations have received international recognition at the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2024, including Best Day Serum Age 30+ and Best Night Serum Age 40+.
Her approach to this masterclass is simple: understand your skin, understand your technique, and make informed choices about what you put on your skin and how you care for it.
