Getting Started:
Hold the wooden handle lightly. The small rake works best with soft, intentional strokes. You're not scrubbing—you're sweeping and releasing. Light to medium pressure is all you need.

Sweeping to Cleanse:
Choose a reflex zone you want to cleanse (forehead, cheeks, jawline). Using the toothed end, sweep across the zone approximately 50 times in one direction. You're moving stagnant heat and blocked energy out of the area. Feel the heat and tension ease as you work.

For Deep Wrinkles & Furrows:
Use the toothed end to rake gently into areas with deep lines—between your brows, around your mouth, or across your forehead. Rake softly for one to three minutes per zone. Work with the natural contours of your face, following the direction of the wrinkle. Consistency matters here—daily raking creates visible softening over time.

For Plumping & Heat Release:
Switch to the brass end, which is also yin-based. Rake gently over areas where you want to pull out heat (rosacea, acne, inflammation) or create a plumping effect (lips, cheeks). The brass end is soothing and draws fluid and energy to the surface, creating a fuller appearance.

For Tender Spots:
When you find a tender area, rake gently around it for one to three minutes. The toothed design allows you to work into the tenderness without aggression. You'll feel the spot soften and release.

Daily Ritual:
Use the small rake in the evening on clean, dry skin. It's meditative and grounding—perfect for winding down before bed while simultaneously working on your skin.

Pro Tip:
Pair the small rake with your n°206 yin-yang roller. Use the roller for general work, then finish with the rake for precision work on deeper concerns like wrinkles and scars.
