The Amethyst Gua Sha Tool

What it is: Gua Sha has been practiced in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. This gua sha tool was built to have a firming, lifting effect on the skin.

What it does: Amethyst is perfect for gua sha, as its calming energy may help relax facial muscles, reduce tension, soothe puffiness and enhance skin clarity. It may help boost overall health and radiance of the skin, in addition to reduce puffiness of the skin, firm and lift the skin, reduce appearance of fine lines and promote a glowing, even complexion. Due to natural variations in stone, every Mount Lai facial tool is unique in pattern and color. Mount Lai does not artificially dye or treat the stones to let their true beauty shine through.

How to use: Start with a clean face and prep skin with a facial oil or serum. Keep the tool almost flat against the face and begin with the forehead. Scrape in an upwards motion from the eyebrows to the hairline. Move to the cheeks and scrape in an outwards motion starting from the crease of the nose until the ear. Move to the jawline and use the end of the gua sha tool with the two curves. Start from the chin and scrape until the ear. For the under-eye area, very gently scrape the gua sha tool from the inner corner of the eye outwards to the temple. Wash with warm water and gentle soap, rinse and dry after each use.
