Supermodel Ashley Graham Just Revealed Her Secret to a Snatched Face

When Ashley Graham drops beauty tips, we tend to drop whatever we’re doing and tune in. The supermodel did just that when she appeared on TODAY with Jenna and Sheinelle yesterday, March 17, and we’ve got the highlights for you here.
In a segment in which she shared her favorite skincare items with viewers, the 38-year-old mom of three cued the audience in on one of her favorite beauty tools: a gua sha.
“You have to start with a good liquid on your face,” Graham advised while chatting with cohost Sheinelle Jones. “And that means a great hydrator.” To start, she shared that she sprays Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator on her complexion and rubs the product in. Next, Graham pats three drops of Lanshin Face Oil over her face and neck to “get the blood flow moving” before she incorporates the gua sha.
“You’ll start at the back of your neck,” she instructed while demonstrating a sweeping down motion for viewers. “... You’re going to release all the tension in your neck [with the gua sha], which is gonna take all the tension out of your face.”
Graham later added that doing gua sha all over her neck and up the sides of her face helps her to achieve her “snatched” appearance, as Jones referred to it. The model and author noted that in addition to gua sha, having proper tongue posture—which involves putting the back of your tongue to the roof of your mouth—helps create a snatched profile.
