Choose your focus areas
Tell Gluvy what you'd like to work on, or take an on-device face scan that suggests three focus areas. The onboarding scan never leaves your phone.

Gluvy builds a day-by-day plan from its face yoga, gua sha and skincare courses, with morning and evening routines.
Follow along for 5–10 minutes
Press start and copy the video. A countdown runs on every step, and the journal keeps your streak and notes.
Plans
A plan that tells you what to do today
Pick a focus such as the jawline, eyes or forehead, and Gluvy lines up each day's session for three weeks. Every session shows how long it takes before you start.
- Plans for 8 focus areas: forehead, eyes, nose, lips, cheeks, chin & jaw, neck and full face
- Morning and evening routines suggested by time of day
- Reminders you can switch on or off
Gua sha
Learn gua sha by watching, not guessing
Angle, pressure and stroke order are easier to get right when you can copy a video. Gluvy's gua sha courses cover each area of the face and neck, one side at a time.
Browse the gua sha courses or read how to use a gua sha stone, step by step.
Journal & privacy
Track the habit, keep your photos on your phone
Log water, sleep, mood and skin, and take a daily selfie to compare over time. Your journal and progress photos are stored on your iPhone, not on our servers.
Pro subscribers can also request an AI face analysis, which is sent for processing only when you start it. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what happens to that photo.
Honest expectations
A wellness habit, not a miracle
Face yoga and gua sha are gentle, low-cost routines that many people enjoy. The research on them is still thin: the best-known study of facial exercise is a small 2018 pilot study in JAMA Dermatology, in which 16 women completed 20 weeks of daily exercises and were rated as having fuller cheeks (Alam et al., 2018). It had no control group.
So we don't promise to remove wrinkles, slim your face or reshape your jaw. Gluvy's job is simpler: make it easy to show up for a few calm minutes a day, and teach you to do each move properly.

Frequently asked questions
What is Gluvy?
Gluvy is an iPhone app for face yoga, gua sha and skincare. It guides you through follow-along videos with a timer for every step, builds a 3-week plan around the areas you want to focus on, and keeps a simple daily journal.
How much time do I need each day?
Most daily sessions take 5–10 minutes. You can do a single short routine in the morning or evening, or add an extra gua sha or relaxation session when you have time.
Is Gluvy free?
Gluvy is free to download. Gluvy Pro, a weekly or yearly subscription, unlocks every course and routine and the AI face analysis. See pricing for current prices.
Does face yoga actually work?
Research is limited. A small 2018 pilot study in JAMA Dermatology found improved cheek fullness after 20 weeks of daily facial exercises, but it had only 16 participants who finished and no control group. Gluvy is a wellness routine, not a treatment, and we don't promise specific results. Our beginner's guide explains the evidence.
Do I need a gua sha stone?
Only for the gua sha courses. The face yoga, jawline and skincare content needs nothing but your hands and a few minutes.
Is Gluvy available on Android?
Not at the moment. Gluvy is available for iPhone on the App Store and needs iOS 17.6 or later.
