Bian Stone Gua Sha
Reduces puffiness
Relaxes facial muscles
Smooth and invigorate your skin with the ancient gua sha. Our customised bian stone has a long history of application in ancient China. The practice of ‘stone medicine’ is an ancient Taoist healing technique known for stimulating blood flow and reducing puffiness.
Using gua sha as part of your holistic at-home skincare routine is both relaxing and therapeutic. It works to relieve tension and supports a fresh, dewy glow. Each edge has been uniquely crafted to support a full facial massage.
Store your stone in the handy linen pouch. Be sure to use clean, dry hands before you pick up the stone as it is fragile when dropped.
"I recommend using a Gua Sha at least three times a week to relieve inflammation and tension, and to support a fresh, dewy glow. Use as part of your skin care routine to reduce puffiness, or before bed at night to relax facial muscles."
Each edge of the Gua Sha is uniquely crafted to support a full facial massage...
- Use the shorter edge under the eyes.
- Use the long edge for the neck and cheekbones.
- Use the comb edge to stimulate any flat surfaces.
- Use the U-shaped edge along the jaw and cheekbone.
- Use the pointed end for releasing tension and acupressure points.
First apply a facial oil.
Starting above the collarbones, use the long side and sweep up your neck, in gentle strokes, aiming for 3-5 strokes per area.
Continue to apply even strokes, small and large, in the direction of the lymphatic flow, up and across your face.
This Gua Sha is made from 100% natural Bian Stone. The pouch is made from pure linen.
